The all-season Cooper Discoverer A/T3 Sport tire is designed for SUVs and pickups that are used on highways and off-road in a 60/40 ratio. It is characterized by high efficiency on wet and dry pavement, wear resistance, acoustic comfort, reliable handling, and improved performance on any terrain.
Aggressive Tread Pattern
The tire features a tread with a sufficiently aggressive design, formed by five longitudinal ribs consisting of high blocks of small size. As a result, the contact patch has a large number of edges, the multidirectionality of which further enhances the traction properties on any surface, directional stability, and handling responsiveness. Additionally, such a design features a very uniform distribution of external load across the contact patch, which significantly increases the service life of the tread.
Twin Blocks
The central part of the tread features paired blocks. Since the grouped elements are oriented along the tread, this solution significantly improves the stability of the traction properties when driving at high speeds. Another important advantage is the increased speed and accuracy of responses to driver actions.
Multifunctional Drainage Grooves
The longitudinal rows of blocks are separated from each other by drainage grooves. These elements perform several functions. First and foremost, it is the prevention of aquaplaning due to the rapid removal of water from the contact patch. The additional functionality of the drainage grooves is ensured by their curved shape and significant width. Such a design prevents stones from getting stuck in the tread, reducing the risk of mechanical damage. This ability is enhanced by the ribbed surface of part of the block's side walls.
