Cooper Discoverer AT3 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 18 reviews

Tread life and off-road traction are the strongest recurring positives for the Cooper Discoverer AT3, each praised by eight of 18 owners. Dry grip and road noise are also generally favorable, with four positive mentions each and one noise complaint. Longer-term accounts include high mileages, but two owners criticise wear, so longevity is not uniform. Small minorities report punctures or a soft sidewall feel, rather than a broad durability consensus. Some reviews explicitly concern LT construction, and there are no follow-up reviews from the same owners to establish a common ageing pattern across versions. The overall average is 72.2%, with 12 positive reviews.

Bought set of 4 for my Pajero and done 20k km with them. They great for normal high way driving.
Totally disappointed in their strength, durability and build quality, picked up 2 tiny pin hole leaks on the side wall, south African bush is tough.

The final straw came when on the freeway and I picked up a slow puncture, didn't hit any object. Took tire off and found a large tear on the inside of the tire. Now Cooper tire is saying its a wrong application. Really why pay premium price and when you do 10% offroad you EXPECT tires to perform. I've also been told from reliable source that the AT3 is not suitable for AFRICA (South African) condition and that the AT3 LT is the tire they should have been selling in out Market (subsequently now being offered in SA)

I'd bought these tires as I got them at a great price $585 fitted!! I used for a combination of mostly on road with average amount off off road ing. Off road included the desert which it managed pretty well once aired down as well as handled gravel trails and inclines with ease but lost grip climbing rocky trails/ hills. These were great and u used them for 38K miles but the law in UAE dictates that tires can be used no longer than 3 years from the date of production. They do have a bit of tread however wouldnt purchase it again as I'd want something a bit more aggressive, perhaps the Cooper STT.

Hi,after the two previous sets of coopers at they were very quiet on my older model toyota and 1999 pajero,but now at 62,000 and will know doubt do 90,000 plus, on my 2011 monocoque pajero diesel they now since being recently rotatated,balanced and wheel aligned which i do every 10,000 any way now sound like full winter treads on the pajero,so noisy you would think you had the wrong set of tires put back on your vehicle.

I have just fitted these tires to my Pajero and already I am very impressed. A lot quieter than the ATR's and the grip in the dry is exceptional. I got 70,000 k's from my ATR's and I expect to get the same or more from the AT3's.
