Anyone ran Cooper Discoverer H/T?

[LaneOK]

I'm thinking about buying these tires.

Mostly my wife drives the jeep to school about 60 miles a day 5 days a week. I would like to put something more aggressive on it but I feel like these may be a smarter choice in case she gets caught on a little ice.

Has anyone ran these? Is there any reason they wouldn't work?

Cooper Discoverer H/T All-Season Tire - 225/75R16 104S

Thanks.

Edit: Whoops, this is a 2006...

Have to double-check, but i'm pretty sure those are what were on my 07 when I bought it a couple years ago. Lemme put it like this...

Those tires suck so ******* bad that the ******* Goodyear Wrangler SRA tires make these ******* pieces of shit look like ******* race tires. The Coopers were so ******* bad I could spin all 4 wheels on dry pavement without even trying! Think about that. They still have half their tread life left but mother of ******* god they were so asstastically bad I wouldn't let Obama ride around on them for fear Biden would become president within a couple minutes.

I would suggest a "street friendly" A/T. That way you have plenty of tread, lots of grip in the dry and wet, and solid snow traction.

I went with the Hankook Dynapro ATM...but those might be a bit too aggressive for you. A buddy of mine went with the Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure with Kevlar. They're decent looking tires but definitely a less aggressive tread. A comparable tire would be the Firestone Destination A/T. I've also heard great things about those.

Hope this helps!!

I'm presuming your ******* = Stinkin? :happy175:

I would second the firestone recommendation for a "street" tire.

Wow, glad I asked here, I haven't found much info on them but I thought they had pretty good reviews on dry pavement and ice which is my main concern. Thanks.

I have the 10 ply Hankook Dynapro ATM on my Silverado, its a diesel 3/4 ton, I really like them. My main concern for these tires is dry pavement performance and ice. I'll keep the Hankooks in mind, that may be what I use since I've got some experience with them. What about Firestone LE2s?

Edit: Nevermind about those firestones, I found a good review with some pictures, they lose sipes pretty quickly and lose their effectiveness on ice.

Non-at tire but all I hear are good things about blizzaks. Very soft tire though so not for over 0 Celsius

Check out the BF Goodrich Long Trail. Nice tire for the money and has been pretty popular around my area. Even the BFG Rugged Trail is a good performing tire. Cooper H/T is an ok tire, not really anything I'm rave about but I prefer their A/T and M/Ts over most.

To be quite frank...on ice you're never going to get traction. That's just not how tires work (unless studded). Snow is a different story. I only use 2WD in the snow. 4X4 if it's super deep and I'm looking to have some fun. :gr_grin:

As for the dry pavement scenario...all I look for is grip. Not in-corner handling (it's a Jeep. Not a sports car). And these do the job 10-fold. I can barely even spin these when flooring it around a corner.
