Cooper’s Discoverer AT3 family of tires includes the Discoverer AT34S, Discoverer AT3LT and the Discoverer AT3XLT. The Discoverer AT34S, which was named a New Product Award winner at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, provides reliable performance with both on-road comfort and off-road durability for SUVs and pick-up trucks. The tire’s Adaptive-Traction Technology grips the surface, whether rocky or smooth, under the most severe weather conditions. The

Discoverer AT3LT with Durable-Tread Technology hauls heavy loads with less wear and is built to withstand ongoing assault from dirt and gravel. Designed to prevent shredding on rocky and gravel terrain, this tire offers extreme durability for hauling. The Discoverer AT3XLT offer the features and durability found in the Discoverer AT3LT with the addition of rugged, biting edges on the tire’s shoulder for extra grip and resistance to punctures.
