Avoid Cooper Tires Especially Discoverer at3

[smiley]

I think air pressure when empty and loaded along with tire rotation every 7500 miles helps tire life, I always rotate my back tires straight to front and cross front to rear... Some times I was told that was the wrong way to rotate my tires, in fact when I moved to the west coast had a Service manage at one dealer tell me in 30 years he has never had anyone request tires to be rotated that way, he did not understand why I would want it done that way ...

Rearward cross is the way to go I agree. I am surprised the guy you mentioned didn’t know that is the preferred way for a rear wheel drive and a lot of pickups spend majority of their life in 2WD mine included. I do X pattern on my wife’s Yukon XL as it is AWD.

Never had a bad experience with Cooper.

I should also say my Ram I bought used and the tires had something like 45,000 on them already and some of those miles were with warn out shocks. I replaced the shocks when I got it but they were already cupped and chopped pretty bad on the shoulders. I could have ran them longer wear wise but hated the vibrating ride.

Me either. I like them actually. Would have them right now if they were in stock.

This is interesting/disturbing. I've been running them on my 2011 since I tossed my Goodyears. A little bit of noise, but pretty good gas mileage, and very good grip for plowing and/or washboard roads. I drive about 25k a year, and replace them every two years, so ... higher level math ... I get 50k out of them with little trouble. I had a razor knife through one, and a couple leaky valve stems, but I don't think I would blame them on the tires. I'm going to roll the dice and order another set soon. I'll let you know if the ones I get work OK.

Been running cooper AT3’s for abour 5k miles, so far no problems with them.

Mine are Discoverer AT's (was told they are identical to the AT3's, but molds were changed just for Walmart).

In another 2k miles, I will have put 70k miles on them.

Not bad for a 55k rated tire.

Especially having paid just shy of $700 for the set, with lifetime balance and road hazard.

Those are a great deal. They are not severe service rated either but with how much you save getting them I am cool with that. I was going to get those for my Ram but never in stock on the 18s it seems like. I have them on my 79 F250 and had them on 09 Silverado 2500.
