Default Cooper Truck Tires.

Been running Cooper Discoverer A/Ts for going on 2 years now with about 21K miles on the tires. Destroyed one yesterday, and now looking into new tires. It seems as though the Discoverer A/T is now the A/TR with a new tread pattern, so replacing one tire is not easy or feasable.

Anyone seen these out on the street yet?

Cooper makes a good tire, and I'm a bit of a tire snob. Looks like you want an aggressive tire, so my next suggestion may not be right for you, but look at Bridgestone's Revo. It is also a good tire manufacturer, and possibly the best all around truck tire today. Good tread voids, wonderful snow traction, and surprisingly quite. I've had Cooper's and liked them, but the Revo is the best I've ever had.

Talked to a couple folks and the STT pictured above is really made for a lot of mudding. Those open and no interlocking lugs allow for a squishy feel especially when towing. (Had same problem with some Goodyear's sometime back.) I am hoping to replace the tire I blew with an identical one, but may for a new set of Cooper Discoverer A/TR with is the update of the A/T I have now. May even splurge extra $200 on BFG AT KO.

Dueler Revo

I put the latest gen Firestone Firehawk Z50 on the Corvette I had also. This is an extreme perf sports car tire built sharing constuction and compound technology, UNI-T they call it.

Those too were unbelievable tires.

Firestone/Bridgestone builds some excellent high line tires!

Brian,

I'm running Dunlop Radial Rovers (255/85 R16) on my GMC 3500 Dually. They have a similar tread to the Cooper in your picture but I've never noticed any "squishiness" when towing my Sonic. I have about 15K on the tires with a lot of tread left. Good luck with your search...

I went with Nitto Terra Grapplers and 18x9 IceMetal wheels. They should be installed by the weekend.

Those will look killer, pretty much the same tire as I put on my S/Duty (toyos version) and so far I've been happy, they are actually alot quieter than the goodyears I took off the truck.
