Cooper Discoverer snow claw tire

I know no one has tried this tire on their Raptor but has anyone tried these on anything else?

Dont know about these but we just put a set of Cooper Evolutions on my wifes Outback and they perform very well. Tread pattern looks very similar. Goodyear bought out Cooper last week

 

They come in stock size?!?

 

I'm still a little gun shy about buying Cooper tires since the recall. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/cooper-recalls-430k-light-truck-tires-due-sidewall-76133291

 

That's a bummer

 

Didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I can wait til next year. Not getting much snow this year anyways.

 

No. But I'm looking for something narrower than stock for a Winter tire.

 

155/70/17?

 

why? I mean....yeah there’s that phenomenon of less surface area less float more bite....but unless you’re driving exclusively on hard packed/black ice streets 24/7 narrower than stock tires are going to be a compromise in every other situation & then there’s the aesthetic.....

btw.....I also ask “why?” Coming from direct experience running nokian
hakkapeliitta’s (I just call em hakkas that name is ridiculous) in stock 315/70R17....have had em w/ & w/o the studs in & ahhhhhh yeah, you don’t need anything narrower bud

I literally drive “as if” there’s no weather to be concerned of in flat out blizzard conditions passing plows in 4H @ 70 leaving a nice rooster tail behind me

SLAM on the brakes? lil abs chatter, add another 20% distance & it just stops, undramatically, in a straight line- not ass out.

I’ve run snows on my 4x4 trucks the last 10 years & I’ll never go back

right tool for the job makes a big diff- def worth investing in for the supreme confidence in the winter weather

I just LOL to myself when guys try & reason that an MT or an AT is anywhere close to the level of a true dedicated snow tire- in reality, a crap passenger all season tire has more in common w/ a drag radial than an MT has w/ a snow tire hahahah- & the performance delta between how a sports car behaves w/ summer only max/200 tread ware barely street legal tires vs an all season is also a good analogy to how much better a vehicle will perform in the winter w/ snows vs anything else

so def agree w/ the mindset anyhow

 

I also use the Hakkapeliitta’s, live in Breckenridge CO. They are great.
