Cooper Discoverer AT3's
What's been your experience with them? Best deal I've found is discounttiredirect at $160 a tire with 110 in rebates. Tread depot has them for 133 a tire but shipping is 85 to me.
Anyone see any other good prices?

Freakin' love mine. Probably won't buy another tire ever again. And I've used literally dozens of HT, AT, and MT tires in my day.

Love mine. 265/70r17 Took very little weight to balance. Rides very smooth and quiet. Wet and Dry traction is just fantastic. Off road they are tough as nails hold up great to some sharp rocks and terrain. Ill buy another set.

Thanks for the replies I'm pretty much sold on them. did you guys go with the SUV tires or the light truck tires. I noticed that the lt tires have a tread depth of 16/32 vs the SUV tires which have 13/32.
Maybe it wouldn't make much of a difference

I wanted the LT C version but the price difference was huge. Like, $200. So I got the P version. Load capacity is the same, tread warranty is better, price was cheaper.

I just installed them on FJ rims on my 4runner and I love them! And the combo looks so cool! First time in my life in Canada I am waiting for the snow, so I can try them out!

WXman,
What psi are you running these tires at? As per t4r door label, the recommended pressure for our 4runners is 32 psi. At the same time this is an "aftermarket" tire that might have it's own recommended specs. What numbers should I be looking for?

I'm running mine at 36 psi cold, purely for fuel economy. I normally don't run that much pressure but I'm on a tight budget at the moment and every tenth of a MPG counts.
Technically when you go up in size you can go down in PSI because there's more volume of air in the tire.

I went from 265/60-18 to 265/65-17, so the wheel size stayed the same. Although, yes, there is more air volume in 17" tire when the outer diameter of both 17" and 18" tires is the same. On the other hand T4R owners manual says that 32psi is recommended for both OEM sizes (265/60-18 and 265/65-17). But this is for the factory tire.
I am more concerned about how to calculate psi for aftermarket tires. If the max load and max psi as well as [max load / max psi] ratio of an aftermarket tire is different from the factory tire, then the recommended PSI on the aftermarket tire, should be different (for an even wear and better handling).
This is how I see it... But I may be wrong..

I have pretty much decided this is the tire I want to get for my '09 Limited running 265/60R18 but am having a difficult time locating anyone reputable that has them in stock. Does anyone have a source?
On a side note, do many tire places have the ability to deal with the TPMS? Some say yes but I hear the dealership is the only one that can properly handle them.

Answered my question about TPMS, shop needs to have a programmer, found one on Amazon for $150. ATEQ QuickSet TPMS Reset Tool : Amazon.com : Automotive
Still searching for the tires though.
