I'm thinking about putting the new Discoverer Road+Trail on my Gen 5 4Runner Limited. These seem to be the perfect AT tires for snow-covered roads and some mild/moderate off-roading.
Bought some wheels with the STT pro tires already on them so I figured I’d leave them on and try it out. They are great in wet conditions and going through high water at speed, and the tread life seems to be pretty good. BUT they are rough on the road, quite loud at hwy speeds and vibrate pretty bad. They do Look great! Not a super comfy ride but if you don’t care then they are a great tire.
Depending on the vehicle I run low pressures on my lighter trucks. They are 10 ply tires and if you run the recommended pressure on anything less than a 3/4 ton it's going to be rough. I have 10 ply Cooper MT on my Tacoma with the max air pressure of 80 the only way you want to get close to that is on a 2500 and up. Half ton trucks and midsize trucks you can run way less. I literally run 32 lb of pressure in Templar tires on my Tacoma and it rides great. The wearing of the tires is great as well
Not mentioned in the vid is the newest Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT…just put a set of 295/70R17’s on my ‘06 Megacab 4x4. They road forced/balanced really good on my factory stock wheels. Great tread pattern, I’d say sits in btwn the AT3 lineup tread and the STT lineup tread. Hopefully I’ll get some longevity out of ‘em, hardly any reviews/vids out yet since a fairly new tire. I’ve got the AT3 4S’s in 255 series on a couple of lifted early 2000’s Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4’s and they’ve held up well and the ride quality is great.
@@ZimmyF250 No road noise or hum so far…keep in mind at this point I’ve only got about 75-80 miles on the Stronghold AT’s. Finally got them on the interstate yesterday for about a 30 mile round trip and 70-75 mph speeds, no noise and the ride is just as smooth as it can be.
don't buy any cooper tires. tire broke a belt. reached out to cooper they sent me an email saying that there Warranty was 72 months or down to 2/32 tread and I need to take it to a dealer. I took it to the tire shop I got them from they kept it for a week then told me they are not a authorized Cooper dealer so they can't help. emailed back and forth with a cooper dealer for two days they ask me to drop it off. left Work early so I can drop it off with them. They call me to tell me they can't do nothing either. Now I'm gonna have to leave work early again to be able to pick it back up. Their warranty is equivalent to buying tires from a person in a white Van on the side of the street. It would have been better if they were honest to start with about them not doing anything. I wouldn't of wasted 2 weeks of my time.

Sounds like a great idea. Get er done I believe you'll be happy and there's nothing like a good set of tires

What would you tire savants recommend for pavement, dirt, gravel, mud, rocks, and the occasional pile of limbs and wood?

How is the road noise with them?

I have some Rugged Treks. Suprisingly quiet and very comfortable. We'll see how they do this winter.
