About This Tire

The Cooper Discoverer HT3 235/85R16 is an all-season highway tire, designed for pickup truck, full-size SUV, van and commercial vehicle drivers who prioritize long treadlife and reliable traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on durability, even wear resistance, and consistent performance across wet and dry conditions.

The tire features a high-silica tread compound molded into a symmetric pattern with continuous shoulder ribs that resist irregular wear from frequent stopping and starting. Four wide circumferential grooves channel water away to prevent hydroplaning, while interlocking 3D Micro-Gauge siping provides tread block stability and creates biting edges for wet and light snow traction. Driver feedback points to strong dry road performance and excellent longevity, with good comfort levels and reliable wet weather handling in daily use.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for larger vehicles used primarily for highway driving and commercial applications in varied weather conditions.
