Trying to decide which AT tires to throw on my Maverick hybrid XLT

[ebz_mav]

Looking at the Cooper Discoverer AT3 and the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus for all year round. Threw a quick mockup together with the Scorpion ATs on. We don’t get too much snow where I am in MD, but I’ve been pretty happy with the Discoverers on my wrangler for the past couple years for daily driving.

I'm also going hybrid and I'm eyeing (possibly) the Yokohama Geolandars, Falken Wildpeak or Toyo AT3, but am keeping an eye on other options as we slowly get closer to vehicles being built.

Looks great. Adds some much needed beef to the wheels.

After looking up the Falken Wildpeaks that are coming on mine, I'm pretty impressed. They look mean and have a lot of great reviews.

So many options to look at now haha. I was basing my first thoughts on AT tires from the Tire Rack Ratings Chart for that category of tire.

LOL - yeah, I definitely look at those ratings as well as those on some of the retail tire seller (such as Discount Tire) sites. I will likely get some good A/T tires and use the OEM tires as well, with whichever one is better in the snow/ice during the Winter.

Had them on our Forester we just sold. They’re fantastic. Handled snow, rain, and light to moderate off-roading (mud and snow) like a champ.

Nokian Rotiiva ATs in 235/65R17 are priced pretty good with lots of tread that wears well.

Are you guys going 225 or 235?

I second that. They performed flawlessly in the snow and wore like iron. I also have had the Goodyear Duratracs. Same story.

I have the Cooper Disvoverer AT3 XLTs in a 34" size on my LX and the ride is great and they're dead silent after 7000 miles. Would recommend

The Discoverer AT3 definitely leans on the all-season side of the A/T tire spectrum, whereas something like the Good Year Wrangler UltraTerrain A/T (Discount Tire exclusive) leans on the mud-terrain side.

I'm a function-over-form person, but for the Maverick hybrid, I'd break my own rule. The most dirt it'd see is a gravel road. But I'd get Toyo Open Country A/T III's as a mix between function and form.

Anyone ever had any experience with Cooper Adventurer A/Ts? They seem to be a pep boys exclusive. I can get a set of 4 245/65r17s for around $500.

According to the marketing speak, wild peaks are the first/ only off road tire designed specifically for unibody vehicles. But obv take that one with a grain of salt

Falken Wildpeaks AT3's are the best rain tire I have ever had (here in Houston...)
