New Cooper Discovery Rugged Trek tires!!

This was the just the thread I was a looking for and about to pull the trigger on these. Was between these and the Durtracks that came on the 19 TSS. The difference is about $25 cheaper per tire right now too.

 

I thought I posted this already but..

 

Just pulled the trigger and having them installed now. Can’t wait to see the difference and the height difference over stock.

 

Got them for $240 now at DCT.

 

What size are you moving to?

 

What size? I paid $391 a tire for 35x12.5r20

 

275/60/20 just got them on look so clean.

 

That is the size I plan to install when I replace my TSS tires. Please post pics when able.

 

Must. Stop. Reading. This. Thread.

 

We need pictures!!!
I have this size in my Amazon wish list. Looks like they are $225 a tire after tax and my 5% cash back with their Visa card.
Plus another $25 a tire to mount and balance.

I have maybe 11k miles on my tires so I need to wait. Not sure how long I will be able to hold out.

 

Ok finally got to take pictures and couldn’t be Happier with them. I went with side 2 for the side wall also cause it has the mountains. Setup is 5100’s all the way up on front and 1” block in the back 275/60/20.

 

Looking good.

 

That’s a good looking truck. The wheel offset is perfect.

 

Okay you early owners. How’s the road noise?

 

Wonder how good they will be in the snow? Love the looks of them

 

Spacers behind those wheels?

 

Deep lugs and lots of siping. Should be great!

 

They are noisier then the Mich stock for sure but not as bad as MT’s and I cannot say if Better then Ko’s or some other popular brand

 

Ok guys I’m the OP, I’m about two weeks in, I’ve been on loose gravel roads they are fantastic and they should be, I’ve driven in 2 major rain storms on the expressway I didn’t feel loose once. The road noise is a little more noticeable then my original stock mich but for the trade off of the looks I’m good! 1000miles and I’m still happy as hell

 

Still waiting on parts but I have 4 sitting in the shop now!

 

hell yeah! Post the photos when you get them on!

 

Just got an email…

 

Currently building out the son’s new ‘21 Tacoma Sport. Just had these Rugged Treks put on today.

• 265/70R17
• XL rated, 45lbs each
• Summary: They ride smooth and are quite. There is a slight hum that is equivalent to the hum of the Toyo AT III that I run on my Tundra.

 

Cooper hit a home run with these new tires!

 

I agree. They are similar in characteristics to the Mickey Thompson ATZ tire. Being that they are in the same family, I can see that they shared designs. Personally I think the Rugged Trek may replace the STT Max because when I was on the Cooper site, The STT Max was not listed in the truck tire category.

 

I've been going back and forth between these and the Cooper AT3 XLT. Still can't decide. I want a smooth, quiet ride, although I know these aren't road tires and therefore won't be a quiet as the stock Bridgestone's on my 2021 Platinum.

Question....I'm looking at the Fuel Vectors or the tactics. Both are a 18x9 wheel. The XLT in 275/70/R18 is for wheels that are 7-8.5 in size. The Rugged Trek's are a bit taller (which I like), but are for wheel width size 7-9. Will the XLT still run on a 9 inch width tire or would I be better off with the Rugged Trek?

 

I would stick to the listed specs of each tire. If the XLT states only to a 8.5” wheel, I would not put it on a 9” wheel.

 

How bad did these tires kill your gas mileage? I’m currently running some whooped toyo at2’s 275/65/18. I plan on going up to a 275/70-18 but I don’t want to ruin my gas mileage. I get 16 mpg currently

 

I am currently running BFG K02 at LT285/55R20. They are D rated tires.
The Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek at this size are E rated. I am concerned that the ride will get rougher on the rugged trek over the KO2.
Rugged Trek is available at 275/60R20 (not LT) which will be a bit taller (~0.5") and narrower, but the are only SL rated. Not sure SL rated tires will stand up to use on a Tundra, especially towing.
Hopefully they will have more sizes/load rating options once they have been out a bit longer.
