We have a set of Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT on my wife's OB and they've been excellent. We don't do anything crazier than fire roads and trailheads but they perform admirably and are fairly quiet on road.
Coopers are great tires, I had some on my old WRX and they lasted forever. I live in oregon and ran these tires through quite a few seasons no problem
I have these, got em on sale for cheap so I figured I'd give them a shot. Drove them in like 6" inches of snow with no issues, been through some mean rainstorms with no issues, and over the summer. Been on them for almost a year so far and no complaints for how I am driving on them (Mostly just daily duty, occasional twisties).
i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.
i ran those coopers for like 5 years they’re great, very little to no noise, doesn’t hold onto rocks and good wet traction. i started using them when it was a 3s and when they switched to the next gen 4s wet traction significantly improved. i did some dirt driving and a lot of snow driving in deep snow for hours on highways. great traction on dirt and snow, especially for the money.
Sunday I'm doing my first event on the Vitour P1, moving from the Rival S 1.5. I'll report back.
Biggest thing on them is the sizes. They make weird sizes that can net you an advantage, especially on specific cars.
I've done about 1200 Street miles and it's a clearly faster tire. Hard as hell when cold. Like, the first mile or two is pretty bouncy. But settles in quickly just on street driving. I imagine the first lap will get enough heat in.
While I'd love to do an apples to apples size wise, the very availability of a 305 in a 15" tire at 200tw is a huge consideration. Like for like they could be slower, but the next widest 15" option is a 245" by the competitors' 200tw offerings. So, I'll post my results after Sunday's event.
The shorter overall OD can also help (or hurt) depending on gearing.
I just out a set on my daily and so far I really like them. I came from BFG Rivals. The P1 definitely grips harder.
They're very new so not a ton of data on them, but they seem to be running with the fastest tires, and supposedly are lasting longer while being cheaper to buy.
I've put about 1500 miles on mine so far and am impressed with the wear.
CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far
as a tire, they seem slightly dubious as far as the 200tw rating goes (although a052s are super low-duro too). they don't work well on heavy cars and from a buddy who runs them in practice/at non-scca events, they seem to overheat/slide a lot (corresponds to what the GRM article states). but they for sure are quick.
Don't like Cooper.
