Hi:
Do you have any experience with Cooper Discoverer HT Plus, ST or ATR (265/60/R18) ??...

I need to change my Discovery II 2004 HSE tires (Michelin Synchrone 4x4 255/55/R18) and I´m looking for references...

Thanks !

P.D: in Chile this type of tires are very expensive (US$500 each... )... Michelin Latitude or Goodyear Wrangler HP... US$ 800 app.


Today I receipt an e-mail from a tire dealer in my city and makes me a "good deal":

• Cooper Discoverer ST 275/65/R18: US$620 each.

 

Super Discovery,

I cannot speak for that size, but we had 245/65/17 Cooper Discoverer H/T on our previous '05 VW Touareg. Were an excellent tire for the money. The came with a 60,000 mile tread life warranty. We traded the Touareg after putting ~65,000 miles on the tires and it was time to replace them (along with many other things). Great traction in the snow, even tread-wear, and good ride on road (as compared to the continental set I had on it before. Were excellent in the minor wheeling I did.

I would put them on another vehicle, and I would recommend them for you, unless you like to seriously off-road.

Good luck with your choice.

 

x2 I have always had good luck with Cooper Tires I have a couple sets of discovery now on different vehicles. Nothing in an 18 inch yet, they will be the next set that go on the rover the have fantastic tread life.

 

I have 16 inch Cooper's on my Discovery right now... the factory tires made it about 45,000 miles; I switched to Coopers (and a slightly narrower tire, which was a HUGE improvement on the rutted roads I was driving at the time) and have been happy since. I do mostly on-road driving, though many of those roads have been lower-than-average quality over about 3 years... Right now, I have about 53,000 miles on those Cooper's and they still look good - I'm sure they will make it to 60,000 or beyond without any trouble. Very happy with them, and they were a great price.

 

Thank you for your support... !

I think the ATR will be fine for my needs (60% on road - 40% off road) and the ST model is for 4x4 player (I think...) ...

My Discovery is parking the most part of the week.... and our routes are not so bad....

For the money, that prices are expensive (for us) but compared with other brands, it's not.

Waiting for another deals... I twisted my mind to ATR model...

Regards,

 

My dad used Cooper tires on his truck (non land rover) and ended up being a really good tire for the money. My Disco has Michelin so I don't know how they perform on our trucks.

 

Cooper S/T's all the way.



There was a log buried in the sand and I ran both axles onto it and I was stuck as stuck could be, until I got out my Hi-Lift jack.

 

See, I told you Spike stalks the D2 board, and would comment on the Cooper tires!

(now just ask him how well they do in water, so he can post the video!)

 

Well, you asked for it...
