Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail A/T Tire Review on my 2022 Ford F 150

[@207professional]

Just had these installed on my Tacoma tonight. Replaced my M/T Baja Boss’s as I do a ton of highway driving for work. Just on the 15 minute drive home there was a noticeable difference. Much quieter and smoother on the road. Looking forward to the long drive down to spend Christmas with family this weekend.

[@nolanchance2364]

What’s the verdict now that you’ve had them awhile?

[@jameso6404]

I put these on my Subaru Wilderness Outback Sept 2023. Price point, same weight as OME and company reputation all came into decision. Next day drove from Pa to South Carolina. Excellent road manners. Quiet and highly responsive. Have since had them in heavy rains, sloppy mud on a fire trail while camping, soft beach sand while surfing and moderate snow and ice while skiing. Performed excellent. My opinion one of the best choices to achieve better than OME performance while getting sharper looks without going to an over aggressive tread or heavier weighted tire.

[@flattiredan56]

Nice work, thanks for the review. And thanks for watching

[@ryanottaway1]

Just bought a set for my 2019 Frontier. They are getting installed tomorrow. I have the Cooper at3 4s tires on it now. 43,000 miles, they are right at the wear bars. Apparently these road and trail tires are the next generation of the at3 4s. If they were like the tires I currently have, I will be satisfied.

[@flattiredan56]

I’m used to getting close to 60k miles out of my NIttos so I hope these last similarly. I am diligent about having them rotated every 10k. Good luck with them and thanks for watching

[@kl82511]

Put them on my 1500 Big Horn. Had vibration issue above 65 MPH. Had them rebalanced twice, still had vibes. Took them to a shop that has a road force balancer and had them balanced on that. It balanced them !!! Love the tires now.

[@jeffkrauss412]

I'm looking at replacing my tires on my Dodge Ram and a friend who works at a tire shop suggested these tires.I like how they look on your truck and knowing that the road noise is minimal helps a lot.Thanks for the review.

[@flattiredan56]

No problem. Good luck and thanks for watching

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

I was considering BFGoodrich trail terrain for my Tacoma but these Cooper’s seem just as good at a better price point. A long-term update video would be fantastic.

[@flattiredan56]

Thanks for the suggestions I’ll get to work. Thanks for watching

[@ajferguson8510]

I just got these for my 23 escape phev cause I need all terrains and they come in the right size and don't cost $1500 bucks for a set. They haven't been installed yet but I'm glad to see people like them.

18 Silverado getting some R+T this Saturday. And we're expecting snow here in Colorado Friday night I'll definitely get some snow driving in. I'll come give everyone an update Saturday afternoon. Cheers lads!!! UPDATE: I just got these new R+Ts and i was able to get on some ice and wet roads and i must say i am impressed, they feel secure with stopping and take off felt smooth on both ice pack and wet pavement. Also note the rubber compound felt nice highway driving a little noise if you're not used to it but nothing crazy. Overall 9/10 would recommend!! Bang for buck!!

Do they balance well no vibration at 80mph

Love the review! I just brought a set myself, and it was hard trying to look for reviews when the tires are brand new. Best luck with the up coming snow!

[@flattiredan56]

Thanks bud, good luck with the new tires. So far I love them and I really like how they look. Thanks for watching

[@mikejames7013]

I plan on putting a set on my Honda Pilot next Friday. I live in Maine and drive on a lot of logging roads so I hope rhey woek well. I've had the old Cooper Discover AT3 tires on a Jeep that were awesome. Hope these are just as good.

[@flattiredan56]

I think you’ll be really pleased they’ve been excellent for me. Thanks for watching btw

[@aznguyen316]

Came here for the first review thanks for sharing your thoughts. Looking to put this on my Ridgeline.

[@TheNotimprezed]

NNY here, having these installed tomorrow. Was going to go with AT4S since they are a good AT for highway and snow and saw they are being replaced by these so figured i would go with the update.

[@flattiredan56]

I think you’ll like them. Very pleased with mine so far. Thanks for watching

[@TheNotimprezed]

I do like the Coopers so far. They ride softer than the Hankook ATM that were factory. They are a little noisier. They have really good traction in snow. We had 50 inches fall over the last few days and they performed great, as a new tire should. Only concern I have is it does not look like the siping is full depth, maybe I'm wrong but it looks like it only goes to about 50% so I wonder how they will be with 30-40,000 miles on them.

[@Freedom-in-Christ]

Appreciate you taking the time to review. How is your fuel economy compared to stock tires? Also, how did they balance?

[@flattiredan56]

Fuel economy hasn’t changed in any noticeable way. Tires are the same size as the stock tires so I would think it will stay consistent. As far as I know they balanced well. I did about a 400 mile highway driving round trip the first weekend I had them and they rode excellent. Thanks for watching btw

[@debralynnbailey6527]

Yep checking on your tires. Want good one for winter living in Mi ✅😎

I put these on about a month ago they replaced the cooper discoverer at3 4s. These radials are a lot better and have way better grip i love them can’t wait to try them in snow i have them on a 13 expy. Do you get any tiny vibration at all at higher speeds?

[@flattiredan56]

No none at all. Very smooth at all speeds. Might be a balancing problem?

[@briansleepylee]

Yeah thanks for this! Youre right i couldnt find any other tire reviews foe this tire. Look forward to hearing your experiences in the snow and ice. Have you driven on gravel roads with these tires? I have a Nissan Armada that uses the same size.

I see you had snow on the camper video am I missing you driving with the cooper tires in the snow video?

I really didn’t get a chance to drive on the snow covered roads. I got home from work before the weather got bad. The little snow I did drive in, the tires performed great. There are some other comments here from people who have had the mount in the snow, and also say they performed very well.

I've had them on for 2 weeks now, and they are great on the icy roads. They don't make noise on the highway either. There hasn't been enough snow up here yet, but still looking forward to seeing how they handle in it.

How do the tires hold up with towing your camper?

[@flattiredan56]

I only towed the camper a few times before I decided to use my dually (check out those episodes lol). That being said they did great. I’ve been really happy with them. I’ve been asked to do a progress episode so I’m gonna put something together over the next few weeks. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the review. Now that it’s been some months, what are your thoughts. Specifically, fuel mileage change from the factory tires, ride quality, and road noise. Thanks a million.

[@flattiredan56]

I haven’t noticed any change in fuel mileage and the ride quality is just as good, if not better, than the factory tires. Absolutely no road noise to speak of. They performed great in the little bit of snow we got this past winter. So far I would recommend them 100%.

[@flattiredan56]

They’re wearing nicely. I put a lot of miles on my truck for work and I’ve rotated them every 5000 miles since I got them. Really no road noise to speak of. Very happy with them. Top to bottom. Highly recommend. Thanks for watching.

[@TMPadmins]

WNY driver here. I just got a set of these on recommendation from my "tire guy" and have less than 1000 miles on them so far. I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500. I went a step up to 275 from 265/65/R18. So far no snow and not much rain so dry pavement and one day of ice patches. Maybe I will update once we get some significant snow (11" +). They feel "squishy" or bouncy, but not uncontrollable. I was going to get the Goodyear DuraTracs but I did not want to go that aggressive since we get considerable snow but the roads are well serviced, maybe a day or two of covered roads then back to pavement. I have the exact same fuel economy reported by the truck, zero change. They look a lot better than stock tires I think Wrangler Defenders. I plan on putting a plow on the truck this year which was another consideration for these tires. I was concerned about road noise but then after getting them, I realized that my stock exhaust is all I hear. Basically a ditto of what you said in your review. I cannot wait for the snow! I put Cooper all seasons on my 12-passenger 350 Econoline van during a snow storm and driving away was like a dream.

[@flattiredan56]

If they remain to feel “squishy” maybe check tire pressures. Under inflation can cause that feeling

[@TMPadmins]

Thanks, I thought of that, they are all 2psi over at 37. I think it is just me.

[@Atalbot1994]

I hope you mean you went to a 265/75 from a 265/65 . The first number is width the second number is aspect ratio. So if you actually did what you commented yes putting a wider tire on a narrower rim is going to feel squishy as it's less supported and the side wall is going to take more of the weight as the edge of the tire is further from the bead. The height difference of 265/65 to 275/65/18 is 13.7mm , and ride height gain would be around 6.85mm (just over 1/4 in ) now on a 265/65 to a 265/75/18 it is 53mm, which has a ride height gain of 26.5mm ( over 1in ) If you went up a tire size you can't go by OEM tire pressure anymore. Actually, most tire companies if you give them a call and tell them your OEM size and vehicle and what size you put on your truck along with the tire model. They will often give you a ballpark pressure. If you want to figure it out on your own try a chalk test. I would try 5 psi over stock especially if you widened the width not the aspect ratio more pressure will help. @flattiredan56 @@TMPadmins

Thanks so much for the tire review ... I just ordered 2 of these tires for the rear tires of our 2001 E-150 " heavy " 1/2 ton van that we'll use to tow our new little 22.5 foot travel trailer with... since we plan on traveling in wet and muddy Oregon I had our mechanic replace our rear shocks with big honking trailer towing shocks and figured it would be smart to get at least new rear tires aggressive enough to handle the load and the condition's you run into on Oregon's forest service roads.
