About This Tire

The Cooper Discoverer HT3 265/75R16 is an all-season tire designed for pickup truck, SUV, and commercial vehicle drivers who prioritize long tread life and reliable traction in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on durability, wet weather performance, and consistent wear patterns for high-mileage applications.

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. Interlocking 3D Micro-Gauge siping provides tread block stability, while four wide circumferential grooves channel water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The internal construction uses two high-strength steel belts for durability. Driver feedback points to strong dry road handling and impressive tread longevity, with good performance in wet conditions and comfortable daily driving characteristics.

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