I was thinking of purchasing Cooper ATP's, do any of you guys run them on your trucks? and if so what is your opinion of them? I currently have some Cooper St I like them pretty well. I only got like 35,000 miles out of them though, and they are only a 8 ply tired. the ATP are a 10 ply tire with the 55,000 mile warranty! Any opinions, and experiences please. thank you kindly for your time.

 

Does anybody know anything about these tires ?

 

I had a set a at3 and they are super....sold the truck but next time i will buy them again

 

i run cooper discovery STT's e rated on my truck. 2 different trucks and I get the advertised miles out of them. Good towing tire as well.

I run CS4 speed rated 140 mph on my car. Also an excellent tire.

 

Senix,
I am amazed there are not many posts regarding these tires. Let me start out with copying a rant I had in another post in regards to my inquries about buying the Cooper ATPS. I will follow up below after putting 3k miles on 'em.

((After melting off 2 sets of BFG AT's I just pulled the trigger on the Cooper ATP's at Discount Tire. The BFG's rendered 33k @ 29k total miles costing me over $2k for both sets. I ran the last 3k miles on the wear bars on my last set to get my moneys worth. They did wear evenly and were somewhat quiet but did not stay balanced. With those poor wear mileage results and total costs they are not worth another dime, ever.

I run the stock 265-75-16's and the OTD price was less than $850 and that includes the tire replacement option. Oh, did I mention they are warrantied to 5500 miles, crazy eh? I've only had them a few days and they are quite around town, you can hear a little rubber on the ground noise at 40-50 mph that sounds a bit like your driving on a wet road. I always drive with my windows down and had to turn off the radio and really listen to hear it, I'll see how that goes after some major break in miles. At CA highway speeds of 65-75 you can hear a minor hum, there is way more noise coming off the cars passing me than I can hear from the ATP's. The ride is smooth and sure.
I wanted to post this review as my early impression and will update this with more info after towing my toy hauler to the desert this Halloween.))

WELL, after 3k miles (hardly major miles at this point) and three 200 mile round trips to the desert I am really happy with these tires!! I tongue pull about 10k lb toy hauler and crank along some serpentine roads through Ramona and Julian and down the eerily steep and curvy Montezuma's Valley Road that spares no mercy on your brakes and nerves; these tires did not squirm at all and they responded swiftly when braking-they did not travel and slow when they felt like it like the BFG.s, they actually responded when asked, very impressive. Same braking response when commuting at 70 mph only to find stopped traffic around the bend, they actually make me look like a better driver, lol.

The 10 ply sidewalls are tough, they showed less squat than the BFG's when hooked up and they strangely enough absorb bumps and holes with less jarring than the BFGs. All tires seem to have a certain break-in blemish of some sort and these did wander a bit, but after a few hundred miles they track true. Water does not effect these beasts as I did not hydroplane or get redirected at all. I drove effortlessly and securely thru standing water that would have grabbed the BFG's to swerve to the left. I did not get to try them in loamy sand but they simply drive thru mud and wet sand and the tread cleans nicely.

I want to apologize for the BFG references but that is what I have to compare them to and I know there are a ton of them out there. I can say that if you buy Cooper Discoverer ATP's you will not be disappointed. They do look nice too, no mamby-pamby small treads. You'd think a tread like this would groan but I no longer even hear them. I also like that Discount Tires have stores all over CA, an added bonus and something to think about when buying tires as some obscure tire palace.

 

i run coopers on most of my trucks i am a cooper fan boy and have been since i was 16 and bought my first set of new tires.

currently i have ATR's, ZEON LTZ's,M+S,STT on my trucks. i absolutely love them. i plan on buying the AT3 or STmaxx for my expedition for summer tires.

 

Good write up! Just be sure to rotate around 8-10K.

 

I have ran the Cooper ATPs for about 6 months 5k miles. I couldnt be happier with them. I do light (>8000 lb) towing and just running highway. They is almost no noise compared to my old firestone mt. I know it isnt a apple to apple comparison but I love the ATPs. No problems in only 5k miles. No signs of any wear and good grip on both dry and wet pavement.

 

Hey, it's nice to see there are good reviews for these tires!

Senix, I rotate and balance tires every 5k (no cost at Discount) and change my oil at the same time, my good ole V10 likes fresh juice. It's my left handed logic to more easily track odometer mileage as my reminder, referring to mileage logs is not needed.

 

Has anyone tried these ATPs in the snow? Thinking about getting a set in about 2 weels at Discount tires. Running stock 265s BFG ATs now and considering going up to 285s in these Coopers. We do get snow here and need a decent snow tire. Will keep them on all year though.

Thanks for the input.

 

Bump for an older thread. Has anyone put any miles on a set of these yet that can chime in.

 

Well....I bought a set shortly after I posted in February and have about 7500 on them so far. They have been pretty good. They did good in the little snow that we had here in Denver. I use the truck to commute about 50 miles a day now and they are alittle noisey on the road, but it's ok. They look like they are wearing good. I went to these from BFG All Terrains. The BFGs are alot stiffer. The ride with these Coopers is better and they do good in wet weather. Drove thru some standing water during the floods out here and they got us thru.

I like the looks of them over the BFGs. Sidewall is beefier. And they were about $200 cheaper at Discount Tires.

Would I buy another set? Yeah, I think so.

 

Thanks for your response. Just the feedback I am looking for!

 

I had a set on my F-150 (265/75/16) for a couple years and they hold up well through their tread life. I do 80% highway miles and they are quiet and wear evenly as long as you rotate them. I just sold that truck to get my 250 and just put another set of ATPs on it. By far the best tires I've ever used.

 

i've got these as well - only put a few thousand miles on them, but so far, i like them!
