Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT Review

[LaxDfns15]

Got some 295/70R18's installed after running my 275/70R18 Duratracs 52k miles. Put a couple thousand on them in dry, rain, snow, some ice now that Memphis got a solid snowstorm (for the South). They're insanely quiet compared to the Duratracs, even when they were new. I tried to break them loose in 2WD in the rain, and it was tough without really getting on the gas. Snow they've done really well. 2WD obviously slipping as they're not snow tires, but once I hit 4Hi no trouble at all. Add to that the 60k mile warranty, lower price than comparable tires, I'm super happy with my purchase. Only thing I haven't taken them in is deep mud, but they're not a mud tire. If these are on your radar, definitely give them a try.

I had a set put on mine last summer, and have the same thoughts as you, very good tires I have no complaints. We haven't had a lot of snow here in Michigan this year but the tires did great in what we got. I went with the stock size, same as what was on my truck, and they rub with the wheels turned all the way, has to be because of the side lugs on the tire.

Since posting this I've had them in a bit of mud and some more slush and a lot of wet. Granted they're still fairly new at about 3.5k miles, but they're planted in the wet on pavement. They perform about as I expect an AT tire would do in the mud. I have some grip, but a lot of sliding once the treads get filled in. Getting back on the pavement they clear out pretty quickly.

I have nothing but praise for these tires. I don't get to drive in snow or much rain where I live, especially being retired. I got them for unexpected weather and maybe some forest roads. I have around 5,000 miles on mine so far and they've performed as expected with a trip to Mississippi and New Mexico throne in.

How did your power and mpg do jumping up from the 275s? I have 285/70r18 and looking to jump up to 285/75r18 or 295/70r18

With the 3.92 gears I haven't noticed a difference in power. Been hauling a 4000 pound trailer back and forth for dirt and mulch the last few months, and it's been the same before and after the tires. Tracking my normal trips it's less than 0.5mpg difference, and I consider that just fluctuation with driving. Weight per tire increase was about 10%.

I have 50,000mi on mine(285/75R18). Been a great tire and I am tempted to get another set. Discount tire said i could get another 10,000 miles out of them but I‘m not sure ill cut it that close. I may look at the new Falken At4w for the snow flake rating but they sure are heavy.

That's what turned me off of the AT3W's. They are like 7-8 pounds heavier per tire than the Coopers, which were already heavier than the Duratracs.

I remember getting mine and thinking how quiet they were compared to even the factory Falkens. Great tire.
