I got to field test my Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires in the snow this weekend. This is a solid A/T tire, and it's one of the quieter ones on pavement. Handling was awesome; ran them at 25 psi and plowed through small drifts ~12\" high with no issues.
Running 30.9" Cooper A/T3-4S (235/75R17) on 17x8" rims AND a 1.5" lift I wish I had gone bigger on my tires
Monday night, I put Cooper CS3's on the front and balanced the garbage West Lakes that are on the rear. All 4 were surprisingly round and none of the rims bent. I can now get around corners faster dry and wet, and can oversteer the car pretty easily when near the limit.
Cooper Discoverer AT3. Good dry and wet grip. Low road noise. Wheels halfway decent.
I am so tempted to put some Cooper AT/3s on mine. The stock Continentals are not great and I have already picked up two screws in 3 months. I never got any holes in 50k miles on the AT/3s on my Pathfinder.
It finally came down to the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. The reviews I read and watched said it has good wet road traction and does decent off road. My experience for the last 50k miles on them supports that conclusion.
Nothing wrong with Cooper tires. I've the S/Ts on my 2000 4runner years ago. They were amazing.
running 40psi, when i go to the track, i keep it at about 38 and check and let out hot air as i go each lap, ill go from 35 to 50*f after a few laps so i always am messing with air. 205/40ZR-17 SUMITOMO HTR Z II 17x8 Axis OG Europa SDC
I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.
I had bad luck with mine on my Silverado.... the sidewalls seemed weak to me. I had much better luck with Nitto Terra Grapplers.
