Opinions on Cooper Discoverer A/T tires please

[Bean Counter]

Not at the end of life for my tires but one of them wound up with more wear than others and the spare is 10 years old. These tires are on sale through the end of the month and the dude who I go to recommended them to me.

They would be going on my wife's gas guzzling, kidmobile SUV. 85% city driving, 14% highway driving, 1% dirt roads (USFS roads, etc).

I have them on my 2500hd, about 25k on them. So far I am very pleased. My boss ran those on his 1/2 ton, got 70k out of 10 plys, last set he cheaped out and bought lighter duty versions and got 30k. They do make a little noise out on the highway but not horrible IMO.

At3's are a great tire and have a pretty good warranty

From a tire sales standpoint, ATD tells us they are a decent middle of the road tire.
Other than that, I've got no experience with them.

I had Toyo A/T on my wife's tahoe and just replaced them with the Coopers. I like the look, and tread is very similar to the Toyo. I will let you know in about a year how they are.

Can't go wrong with cooper discoverers'. On 2nd set of stt ' s and 1st set of st's. Both tread designs are smooth riding on and off road. Not very much road noise and do well in snow. No experience with the A/t but discoverer is a nice tire.

i got at's last winter and im very happy with them, im rolling a 1500 suburban, barely hear them. when i did the research before i bought them everything said they were the number one rated all terrain tire. i asked the owner of s&s what he thought of them since i been working with him for years and he had very good things to say about them. that was enough for me.

Thanks all. More discussion welcome.

Woodchuck- by light duty version you mean the 4 ply tires? That's what I was quoted. The Hajj told me that the 10 ply tires are more for heavy loads and come at the expense of smoothness of ride (as well as additional cost). You're saying they get more miles too?

get at least the 6 plys. The 4 plys don't have nearly as much tread and they are way too soft for my liking.

Ok. 6 ply. Recall that 99% of the miles will be on pavement. The other 1% will be traveling roads for our annual camping trip or something related. This is not my hunting and scouting rig.  We don't get snow.

[FSTaxidermy]

Best tire for the $.  I have been using them for the last 20 yrs and they have always gotten 60K-70k miles.  Need to get at least the 6 ply.  My wife has 10 ply on her 1 ton chevy truck, but overkill for your application.  The 10 ply make a little more noise also.  I am sold on my coopers and will continue to buy in the future 

[CAMPMEAT]

Stay away from 4 ply tires. Buy 10ply only for a truck. Save youself headaches from 6 ply.

It's a heavy SUV w/4wd
