35,000 Mile REVIEW: Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT & General Grabber X3 tires - Snow, Ice, Gravel, Paved 

I just bought the Cooper AT tires back in February. After 7 months of driving, they still look new. I am pretty impressed with the Cooper tires.

Thanks for the review. I have 60k miles on my Cooper AT3 XLTs and still have about 20k to 30k miles of life left in them. I rotate them every 5k to 10k miles though. I can't see myself buying another tire for street and offroading because these are so durable and haven't left me stuck or stranded. Not one single puncture in 60k miles and I've pulled out screws and nails from the rubber treads. (I visit construction sites a few times a week).

Max psi on a narrow rim will cause premature wear in the center. The edge wear is usually alignment or under inflation.

Thanks just about to buy Cooper AT3 LT for my 2004 F350 dually 6.0 Diesel. Your comments on weight and tire sold me on them. Getting installed tomorrow!

Always an honest review,!!! been running cooper shoes for years now, very durable quality, thx dude

Thank you for posting your review. This is the exact video I’ve been in search of. After countless videos on these tire reviews I came across yours. I have a 95 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed with the 7.3l Turbo Diesel with BFGoodrich KO2s. My KO2s are great but I want something different and was exploring these Coopers. I’m pretty set on getting these as my next set. I like your content and I look forward to your General tire follow up review therefore I’m subscribing.

I have the coopers and love them. My dad got 80k of of a set of general grabbers.

The general brand is awesome I have had customers with them and they tell me they are the most quiet and grippy in all weathers especially the at

The X3 reminds me of the Goodyear XTR from back in the day that I ran on everything. I miss the Goodyear version and I swear by the old XTR’s. Being able to hear your tires at higher speeds is very important. You will hear any issues on highway if you pay attention.

My friend, you look a little Baked. If so, then atta boy. If not, there's still time to be. Good honest and simple to follow review. And the tires tires look good and Beefy.

Cooper AT3 4S has been the grippiest tire I have ever had or seen. The extra siping makes a huge difference.

Wheels look amazing on the truck! On our 2005 F350 Dually we first swapped out the Michelin tires on the front to Cooper Discoverer HT3 for road use. Now with the truck camper build we just replaced the Michelins and went with the General Grabber A/Tx on rear end. They also had great reviews for on road, off road and mud. We've been very pleased on road and off. Once our camper build is completed and we've exhausted all our funds, we will replace the fronts with Generals. Our Coopers tires also have a lot of tire wear on the out sides. The shop that put on our rear Generals said that was most likely caused by rear weight loads such as trailer/equipment hauling. While going into turns weight load is pushing into the side walls especially since we have downward pressure on the back end. Makes sense to me. After all the Michelins looked the same when we pulled those off for replacement. Mark & Teresa

Thanks for your detailed review of two of the three I shortlisted, literally. So I went with the … Firestone Destination XT and I am very impressed with them on my Chevy 2500HD. Compared to going away from a Michelin Defender LTX A/S, the Firestone is quieter than expected and don’t notice a fuel penalty and the grip has been great on gravel roads in the Rcky Mtn foothills of Alberta. I’m sure I would have been as happy with the two you reviewed as well.

Coopers have been good to me 😎👍 driven literally across the US on the, plus hundreds of miles of off road, no problems 💯 My buddy on the other hand can't drive to the grocery store on them without getting a flat 😆

love the sound of the 7.3 going across the creek , super review Timmy I had Cooper Mud and Snow winter rated with the little snowflake on the side wall they stuck like glue on our crappy Canadian Hwys and city streets . I ended up selling the truck and the tires were still great in the winter.

Actually, over inflating tires would wear the center faster than the edges. Under inflating would wear the edges faster than the center.

I ran those on my 2017 ram 6.7 and love them used to be a bfg guy but I’m happy with the x3 over all the actually grip really well on the road too

ive driven 32.000 km's on my general grabber at3's and i just love them mayby i would try the mudtrains next

Sharp looking Rims, they would look good on my 96 Ford with Pacific Green color. Good review!

The coincidence is I had Cooper AT3's on my truck when i bought it and they were really great, i swapped them out for Grabber X3's in 2018 and its about time for a new set...the sad part is they have so much tread left, the cracking and discoloration is minimal, I can only tell they're old now because they started humming lol. I really wish the Perelli Scorpion MTR came in E range but since it doesn't another set of X3's is my first choice. They are completely over engineered.

Great video, lots of useful information. Nicely done.

I’m so excited I just bought this set for my ST Ram 1500 I can’t wait to get them

I've owned both cooper at3's and general grabber ATX. The coopers I feel did slightly better in rain, however they wore a little quicker then I would have liked (35k miles). As far as road noise I would say they are equal. Snow traction seems pretty equal. Off-road I would give a slight advantage to the grabbers for the more agressive pattern and sidewall. I wouldn't regret buying either tires again. If you drive to work during the week and off-road on the weekends then the grabber is probably a better tire. If you mainly daily drive and want to be ready for any inclement weather, then the at3 might be a good choice. One reason I went to general was because they are an American tire and they give back to the community, they are very active on the tournament fishing scene.

Been running M/T tires for most of my life and find them lot more expensive to own. If you drive a lot of highway and street miles your paying a lot for looks running M/T . Far as noise the M/T tires are usually pretty quiet when new the get louder as they wear. I've found that tire pressure makes big difference in off road performance and wear. Summer time usually run the max [80] and hunting season and winter will go down to 40 [ if no load]. I'm thinking of trying R/T tire for more wear, most R/Ts have around 50k mileage warranty where most M/Ts have 0. To review a new tire is a waste of time , like wait until they are wore out and then tell me what you think of them.

Great review 🛻

Timmy, just admit it, you’re a dude that likes cool looking rims and new stuff. Great seeing your adventures continue

71k miles on my Coopers no problems I will only run Cooper tires .

Only issue I had with Cooper's was when they were new I really battled to get them to stay balanced at higher speeds. I would balance them and with in 500 miles steering vibration at 75/80 mph. I had them balanced a good 5 or 6 times in 1st 5000 miles. Then pumped them to max pressure eventhough the weights did not require it and issue was fixed.

I hope you feel better soon!! Try to rest if you can and have some soup 🍲

Great review

Timmy I have several different 4x4 Chevy trucks with one being a 2007 classic body style Duramax!! With it being the lightest out of the three named brand trucks out there mine ways around 7500lbs and I have a posi rear end also!! My fist set of tires was a set of cooper STT MT tires!! Now I went with these because of the old tread pattern and how well they would last on pavement and gravel!! Needless to say the set of STT I wasn’t able to get 10,000 miles out of them!! I was definitely not impressed with them and would definitely not get another set after going through a set in under 10,000 miles!! The next set I went with was a set of pro comp MT2 with the only mud tire to have a 40,000 mile road warranty on!! My first set cost the same amount as the cooper STT MT tires did and I was able get get over 50,000 miles out of my first set!! Now during the winter I also push snow with my duramax and I have never once been stuck with either set I have run on my truck!! Super happy with them and I would definitely get another set but I was wanting to find a little bit cheaper tire and desided to go with a thunder MT tire that cost around 150.00to 160.00 each!! And for a 265 or a 285 size tire!! I run a 265x75x16” tire for pushing snow and the weight of my boss V plow I run!! The pro comp MT2 run 250.00 each!! So my first two sets of thunders MT tire I have run I have gotten over 42,000 miles out of and they also do very well all around weather also and for pushing snow!!! Super happy with both tires and I definitely would buy either one again in a hart beat for sure!! I have worked at a tire shop for several years back in the day also so I have lots of experience with lots of different brands of tires also!! BFG messed up when they changed their MT tire to the new tread pattern that they have today!!! There old tread pattern tire was like coopers old mud terrain tire was!! Both worked excellent on gravel, pavement, snow, ice, rainy roads, and what ever else you threw at them they would definitely last for sure!! I actually just put my last set of BFG’s first mud pattern design tire on my 1981 Chevy K30 witch are a set of 35”x12.50”x16” and I absolutely love them but you can’t get them anymore!!!🙁☹️ BFG messed up big time for sure!! Now if BFG would come out with that original tread pattern again I would definitely not think twice about getting several sets because they was definitely a really good set of mud tires for sure!!! I’d definitely like to hear what you have to say about the general tires after you get some time with them and see if I’m Wright on what you have to say about them after some time on them??? Keep us updated if you would please???

Great video!

Put over 70k miles on my toyo at3 with 6/32 tread left. Come with 13.5/32. Took them off for a fresh set for the winter and how many times I’ve had to plug a couple of them. Put the new Mickey Thompson Baja boss at on the Denali. Impressed with everything except I just learned the siping gets a lot smaller as they wear. If these do worse performance as they wear especially at half or below or don’t last 60k miles then I’ll more then likely try these next or the new nitto recon grappler. My Denali is also heavy. I have about 1000 pounds of stereo equipment from stereo competitions. It will increase when I upgrade again and I tow. I live in va.

Another Awesome vid. You should run the old tyres down on the next big trip. Also you look tired bro

Great review!! Thank you !😊

Over inflation wears the center, not the edge. 4wd trucks wear the outside of the fronts, especially with a straight front axle.

Cooper, Toyo! My choice All about the sidewalls on a F-350

I got the same Cooper tires on my 1998 Dodge Ram 2500. With a set of HD Method rims just like yours. So far I really like the tires. I have a set of STT Pros 37” ones on my 2015 F250. I like the General tires to. I noticed the cooper tires have more siping in them which is better for snowy conditions.

If the edges were down before the inside it would be due to under inflation or speedy corners.

If I was closer. I'd buy them old ones off ya lol

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤠☝️🤘looks great Timmy ,nice honest review,like the aggressive looks of the tyres too !,,,,😖hope your safe and well my friend 🇺🇸them wheels look awesome too,Finnish the Truck house off nicely 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Dave in Cornwall 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌊🏄🏻‍♂️☀️☀️

Timmy, nice review. If memory serves me right, over inflation would cause the middle to wear, under inflation the outside? Yours could have just been weight, something out of alignment, ? They look awesome for that many miles. I have a 1/2 ton Toyota Tundra with 38,000 miles, just a fiberglass cap on Michelin tires from the factory and they are not doing that well in my opinion. I think I may have 20% left and mine are babied. Keep on trucking!

Cooper makes a good tire. One of the oldest makers in the usa.

Worst case Ontario, if the General don’t grab ya Cooper will 🤙 thanks Timmy.

It is better go with door stickers recommended tire inflation pressures. The heat from friction and weather will cause the psi in each tire increase also. If it's really hot out up to 10-15 psi even.

I have general grabbers X3s on my jeep, they are louder tires, but they’re great off-road, durable tires with good traction. Absolutely terrible in snow/ice obviously.

I just got those tires for my wranger jku and they are pretty good for rock crawling as well ...... I too paid the extra 5 bucks for the red lettering 😆

Hey , watched , so How have the Generals holding up against the Coopers , its been near two years .. thanks .

Damn I missed it!

Great review, How elastic and flexible is the cooper? Do u need to deflate the air by much to start to spread or it would start spreading even when 25 psi?

I had these tires for 30000 at roughly 28-32 psi and the edges wore out, the noise increased, and they start vibrating a lot.

Looks like you have a spare set of wheels/tires now, you should swap out your trailer axle/hub to match your truck tires, so all your spare tires match.. I did this with my jeep and trailer, its great.

Im sorry, they had how many miles on them again? 😆 Jk. Love the set up. Love the lifestyle. Keep on truckin timmy

Good video but doing a tire review prob be good to post tire depth

I have BFG KO2's on my 2016 F-350 and 25k. Great tires but not good tread life.

I just replaced the cooper at3 xlt that I had on my truck to the toyo at3. I will never go back to cooper tire.

What are the wheels that the generals are wrapped around?

Are you actually there Tim doing live.I am confused

Timmy, why did you replace the tires if they had 20k more remainung? Is it because you got new rims?

Oh man I just bought those same rims last week! Method 305 bronze right?

You also have to account for if you were burnin tires with either of them..

Hey Timmy, nice tires, I would like to put those on my 89 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4. Where did you get yours?

The only downside of the grabbers is the size of the rocks they pick up. I have them on my half ton and don’t need 4c4 hardly ever.

Are those Generals 3peak rated ?

Sorry I missed your video. How much are your hats?

Good review but if you liked them so much why didn’t you buy them again?

The size of the tire taller get better gas mileage than the shorter one

Nice! Very informative indeed...Greetings from 🇺🇾☕🥣

Did you ever rotate or rebalance them? Makes a huge difference in smoothness and lonjevity

Wearing on the edges usually means underinflated and middle wear usually means overinflation. Usually.

How are they on rain on asphalt?

Someone has been poking smot 💨💨

How do you would you rate cooper and snow and ice as to the brgoodrich ko2s

What are the rims brand and size

The xlt's are rated for 80psi.
