I'm about to buy the first set of replacement tires for my 2006 FX4. It's daily driver that sees about 1800 miles a month with light off road use. I'm considering going with either Cooper Discoverer ATRs, Goodyear AT-S like it came with, or Bridgestone Dueler Revos. I've had good experience with the Bridgestones on another truck and the factory Goodyears have been fine, but I like the tread design and warranty of the Cooper for the price. Any opinions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Noob here, my first post!

 

I'm running a set of Dean Wildcat ATs (Made by Cooper and a twin to the Discoverer ATR) on the front of my van. Only have about 2000 miles on em in two years so I can't really give a life expectancy on em. I like the tread pattern and they've got really good wet traction and seem pretty decent the couple times I had it out in the snow last winter.

I don't know for sure how they'd do on drive axles off-road...depends on what you're running in I guess. But they should be a good all-season tire for mainly on-road use.

 

I've only got maybe 5000 miles on my ATRs and I'm not overly thrilled with their performance. They offer a nice smooth ride, even with the E range 275/70-18's I'm running. But the set I have is lacking in overall grip. I've noticed my steering response is down and in the rain they feel greasy.

The ATR have a good reputation and I know many who think they are great. I'm just dissapointed with mine.

 

Thanks for the input guys! I may reconsider these.
