37" Cooper AT3 xlt vs. other AT's

[Jimboliath]

I've got a full mid travel setup on my daily-driver gen 1. Right now, i have BFG KDR2 race tires on and i'm getting to the point where i need to go back to some sort of AT before winter.

I was just going to go back to k02's but i'm wanting to try something new. I'm currently trying to decide between these 3:

Cooper AT3 XLT
General Grabber A/TX
Toyo Open Country R/T

In order my priorities are: Treadwear, Dirt performance, Snow performance, Rock performance, Road noise

Any info you guys got, i would love to hear!

I don’t have any direct experience with any of the the three, but before I decided to go with the Mickey Thompson baja atz P3 I was strongly considering the Cooper at3 XLT and the falken wildpeak AT3w.


Since you did not mention mud as a requirement, I believe those two tires would work well for you based on internet research.

I went from KOs to R/Ts and now have A/TXs on my Gen 1.


The R/Ts and A/TXs are both good tires. IMO, here's how they rate on your priority list.

Treadwear: Tie
Dirt: Tie
Wet/Snow: A/TX
Rock: R/T
Road noise: Tie, but the R/Ts got noticeably louder when worn down. I have't gotten the A/TXs to that point yet.


Other things to consider:

The R/Ts are heavy so expect a tick down in acceleration/braking and MPG.
The A/TXs throw rocks similar to the KOs.

I ran the Cooper Discoverer XL's on my 2012 Power Wagon for a season before I got rid of the truck, and I really liked them. I can't speak to how long they will last because I don't have that truck anymore, but I was happy with the performance I got out of them for the short time I had them. If I was replacing tires on my Raptor right now, I'd give them a serious look. They did well in snow, ice, dirt roads, wet pavement, and the little mud I did find. I was really surprised at how quiet they were!

If weight isn't an issue one of the best all arounders in my opinion is the Falken AT3W. Run them on my truck in the Reno/Tahoe area. Heavy though at 82lbs.

If road noise is low priority add Wrangler Duratrac to your list. They make some noise but that is really the only problem I have with them, they otherwise check all your boxes and ride very well. They are lightweight and load range D in a 35.

Might not be much help, but I had the standard discoverer AT3s on my old F-150 and loved them. I have always had a really good experience with Cooper tires. Not to mention, the discoverer line is made in America

+1 to Cooper as a tire manufacturer. Have had great results with them. From offroad performance, ride quality and tire life.


Have you looked at the ST/MAXX in a 37"?

OP you were considering the K02 in 37’s? I am interested in trying them but not sure if mid perch is enough to run them.
