I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
I had nokian wrg4s on my subaru before selling the car my gf has michelin crossclimate2s on hers, both are excellent.
I’m a fan of Nokian WRG4s
We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!
I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.
Copper rugged trek. Have them on my 2500 duramax. Definitely like better them better then ko2s and dura tracks.
Best tires I've used in order are:
Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)
Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.
As for the WRG2's - had them for less than two years. Rotated every 6500 miles. Very noisy starting at 18,000 miles and down to the bottom wear bars after 23,000 miles. There was no way they were going to make it through another winter. No treadwear warranty from Nokian. The Entyres are quiet and the ride & handling are very good. I only wish they had just a tad more grip in the Chicago snow, but overall I'm very happy with them.
Turns out I had one bad tire that was making the car pull. I won't go back to NTB and I won't buy Cooper tires. (Even though it was probably just one freak bad tire but it made my life miserable for a long time and wasted a bunch of my time.
