Adventurer and Discoverer are two different families in Cooper’s line-up. Both were released as on-road all-terrain tires. Adventurer AT has some major issues due to durability. On the other hand, Discoverer AT3 is a reliable option.

I've been using the Cooper Discoverer AT3 on my SUV for a while now, and they definitely outperform the Adventurer AT. The durability is impressive; I've taken them on tough off-road trails, and they've held up great without the wear and tear issues I've heard about with the Adventurer AT.

On the road, the Discoverer AT3 offers a smooth, quiet ride and excellent wet traction, which makes them perfect for long trips and varied weather. They also balance off-road capability and on-road comfort really well, making them incredibly versatile for all my driving needs.

Haha, yeah, Todd’s got it spot on about the Discoverer AT3. I had the Adventurer ATs for a bit and man, it felt like I was replacing them more often than getting my oil changed. They didn’t handle rough terrain well, and I noticed chunks of the tread tearing off after just a few weekend trips off-road.

Switched to the Discoverer AT3, and it’s been a night-and-day difference. Took ‘em through mud, sand, and rocky trails, and they still look fresh. Plus, they don’t howl like a wolf pack on the highway, which is a huge bonus if you hate road noise like I do. Only thing I’d say is keep an eye on the tire pressure—off-roading can take a toll if you’re not checking that regularly.

Oh man, I’ve been running the Cooper Discoverer AT3 on my truck for about two years now. These tires are solid! I mainly use them for a mix of highway driving and hitting some dirt trails on weekends, and honestly, they’ve never let me down. They handle well in the rain, which is big for me ‘cause I live in a pretty wet area.
One thing I’ll say though, if you're planning to do a lot of off-roading, they’re great, but don’t forget to rotate them often. I noticed uneven wear when I slacked on rotations, but after getting back into the habit, they’ve been wearing evenly. Also, for the price, I’d say you’re getting a lot of tire—pretty much a bang-for-your-buck deal.
