245/60R18 Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT.
traveled 228 miles to San Luis Obispo on stock tires was averaging 37.4 MPG. I got the new cooper tires while I was there. Traveled back averaging 36.9 MPG! Not that big of a loss and I love the look of the tires!

I never liked the way the stock tires looked on my truck. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the cooper discoverer AT3 4S tires. These are the predecessor to those. I’m very happy with them. Got them for $900 out the door. Plus there was a rebate.

Thanks for the reply, good luck.

Discount Tire doesn't carry this model... Where can I find information on it?

Another question... Discount Tire seems to have a bias against Cooper.... are of their tires are rated 'Better', but none 'Best'.

Odd.

Our stores do carry the Discoverer Road & Trail tire. If we don't have your particular size in stock, it can be ordered in to your local store in 1-2 business days provided stock is available.


The Good, Better, Best ratings are an internal gauge that we use in our stores to assist with recommendations based on customer wants and needs. It's a high level view that speaks to the technologies built into the tires

Nice, I really like the rims. I have same one's on mine. But I've just ordered me a set of the same rims but they are painted gloss black. Going to paint my calipers red, should help them really pop. I'll post as soon as I get them on.

With the larger tire circumference of the 245/60r18 tires the odometer will be off by 3.3%. That means when your odometer shows you travelled 100 miles you really travelled 103.3 miles. That’s going to affect your mpg calculations so your mpg probably didn’t drop as much as you think.

I think the OP has the BAP, which comes with 225/60R18 so no difference in circumference, just section width going to 235/60R18

These look great and I want to put the same ones on my BAP wheels. How has the experience been with 245 widths versus the stock 225?

Also where did you get the black lug nuts? Those look great with the wheels.

Looks great on my First Edition. Thanks for sharing your pics, base on them i decided go with AT tires.

Quick question, which tire pressure you keep in yours, recommended 35 PSI?
