How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Themes extracted from 2,356 owner reviews found online.
Reviewers of the Cooper Discoverer A/TP II are largely enthusiastic, praising it as a quiet, composed all-terrain tire that delivers confident traction on wet roads, snow, gravel and light off-road use, with durability and value as additional draws. A minority report balance and vibration problems, road noise, or reduced grip on wet pavement, and several note a modest fuel-economy penalty typical of an aggressive-tread truck tire.
Pros
- Surprisingly low road noise for an all-terrain tire, mentioned by many owners, with some comparing it favorably to stock highway tires
- Strong traction in snow, ice, rain, mud, gravel and light off-road use, including long winter commutes and blizzard driving
- Good tread life and durability, with reports of even wear, minimal visible wear at 10,000 to 20,000 miles, and owners expecting or reaching 60,000-plus miles
- Capable under heavy loads and towing, including fifth wheels, travel trailers, heavy equipment and heavy-duty trucks
- Good value for the price, aggressive appearance and a strong repurchase rate, with several owners buying a second or fourth set
Cons
- Balance and vibration problems, including tires described as out of round, requiring unusually heavy wheel weights and producing a rough ride
- Fuel economy loss of roughly 1 to 2 mpg, attributed to the aggressive tread and heavier E-load construction
- Road noise and harsh ride for some owners, with a few describing it as tolerable and others returning the tires
- Reports of premature or uneven wear, including replacement at about 20,000 miles and two tires worn out within 11,000 miles
- Reduced wet or on-road grip and a squishy feel in sweeping turns for some drivers, as well as gravel pickup
Worth knowing
- Most reviews come from full-size and heavy-duty pickups and SUVs (F-150, F-250, F-350 diesel, Ram 1500 and 2500 HD, Sierra, Power Stroke, 8,000-lb Excursion), and owners generally report stable, confident handling under heavy loads and towing.
- Owners of larger, heavier E-load or 10-ply fitments, including 33.5-inch tires, noted stiffer sidewalls and better cornering but greater weight and a fuel-economy penalty.
- Mid-size trucks such as the Ranger and Tacoma were praised for winter and off-road traction, with the Tacoma completing a 24-hour drive through ice and snow.
