Cooper Discoverer LSX
Strength:
Attractive tire with regular cleanings, rotation and maintenance
Weakness:
Tire is rated for 65K miles and were worn to the point of unsafe before 45K miles I bought these tires for my 2000 Tahoe 4WD on the premise that they were 65K mile treads. I've bought Discoverer LE's before (pretty good) and some off brand Sierra junk (very poor) and these Coopers are about in the middle. Not as good as the Discoverers but nowhere near as poor as the Sierras. Never really had to have a flat repair service and kept rotations to every 6K miles like clockwork. Just really let down that I couldn't get even close to the 65K miles I thought I would. I've only had the tires for two Chicago winters, the first one they did alright in snow (Discoverers were much better) and the second winter, the tread with the wear on them at 33K miles barely made it through, and I mean barely.

Cooper discoverer lt
Strength:
Great on the road, can't even hear them after 60mph. In rain they handle sweet, snow, ice, mud, even found some sand to play in and they rock, at proper tire pressure they wear great!
Weakness:
none I've found. Had to replace the originals at 50,000, Looked around and decided after talking with others to get theese. Put on right before a snow storm, and traveled 300 miles. They were right, Awesome on the snow and Ice, Tore through the mud like a mad man, I never even put it in four-wheel drive.

255-85-R16LT Discoverer LT's
Strength:
These are "truck tires" designed to do whatever the truck is capable of as far as load capacity & are tough as far as fighting damage from off road use.
Weakness:
I know of none- even wet traction is good as long as you keep the air to proper levels. Way too many truck tires are overinflated which cause slipping on wet roads. a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup sure doesn't need 80psi in those 10 ply tires to just drive around on back & forth to work--45-50 psi is plenty especially not hauling or towing a load. ANY tire thats as hard as a rock will slide on a wet road period. I kept 38-40psi in my F250 tires (without a load) & got great tire wear & traction I've used these tires--Discoverer Lt's in 2 sizes for many years on my F250. A great tire that's "in between" a strictly off road mud tire & an all season. Took me every where I needed to go & a few places I shouldn't have even tried as well. Keep the tire pressure at a proper level for whatever load you need and these tires will give good mileage. Similar Products Used: Firestones Steeltex are similar as is the Goodyear original Wrangler tread. Price & overall performance--I'll stay with Cooper |

Cooper Discoverer H/T
Strength:
Durable
Weakness:
VIBRATION!! These tires won't balance, I've spent $$$ trying to get 'em right. Poor braking and cornering. Suicidal on wet roads. Cooper Discoverer H/T. Avoid these tires. They are impossible to balance, wet traction is non existent and even on dry bitumen, braking and cornering are poor. I've had over a year of frustration with these crap tires. I've owned and driven 4x4's since 1982 and these are the worst tires I have ever used. Take my advice and buy Bridgestone Duelers.

Cooper Discoverer Radial LT
Strength:
Nice looking, ride much better than my other brand M/T's I had on it.
Weakness:
I'm concerned about these all terrain tire sidewalls ability to withstand puncture during trail use. I'll post back after I have run the trails some more to let everyone know. Excellent looking tires. Smooth on road ride with only a slight amount of road whine. Road noise is not unpleasant. Seem to handle well off road too. I live 3 miles off of pavement, so the tires go aff road everyday. These tires are 32x11.50R15lt on a 1992 Wrangler lifter 3 inches. Similar Products Used: Wildcountry Radial RVT's, BFG M/T's. |
