Tires Cooper or OEM Volkswagen
I just got my second set of Cooper Discoverers (225/70/R15).
The updated version are more aggressive looking and there’s a little more road noise now, but not bad.
My old set performed extremely well in rain, mud, snow, ice, and regular daily driving. They also outlasted their high mileage rating, and I’m averaging 27mpg on my 2016. Zero complaints.
I have had them since the end of February this year. Drives pretty quiet and has excellent road handling and performance, especially when raining. I am pretty happy with them.
I put these on my 2024 Ford Maverick....Love them! Great look and feel, very grippy even on wet roads. Recently had a blowout due to me getting too close to a jersey wall (my fault no biggie). Took a chunk out of the sidewall. The tire ran flat with only the remaining sidewall between the rim and the asphalt for a good 100' then gravel briefly. The quality and thickness was evident in how quiet, controlled, and responsive the tire was till I was able to pull over; with no damage to the rim due to driving on it.
I went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my’n as stock replacement and very happy with my choice so far.
My primary concern was handling of snow and wet slush on the highway and so far this winter they’ve done excellent. The tread design does have a lot small sipes/cuts that work great for just that. Did not notice any increase in noise from them either.
Put them on a 2018 4Runner and they ride way better and quieter than the Toyo Open Country they replaced. They look great and they handle well in dry and wet but haven’t had the chance to test snow and ice yet myself.
Cooper's aren't THAT much more and they're great tires. I got 67,000 out of the ones on my 2003 Subaru Forester XS (RIP) they were at the end of their life though.
Went from stock Bridgestones to Cooper ATT. Seems to be quieter and defintely a better ride. Not sure why a lot of people prefer Bridgestones pero I find them stiffer even if inflated to just below recommended.
I have a set of Cooper ATS already on my 2019, They're alright, They're decent in the snow but I don't really need them. They're just loud and eat gas And sling, salt and mud all over the truck, i don't really do a lot of off-roading. I just mainly bought them to make the truck look good.
I am dissappointed with them from use. Yes I was a lil hard on them, didn't constantly hammer down on them but I am at 5 for tread on the front and the back is bald now and have only 24000 miles/39000kms out of them.
i had these tires on thru the previous two winters. i put them back on for this winter and the performance is severely diminished. they have about 16k miles on them. i won't buy them again.
