About This Tire

The Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT 255/65R17 is an all-terrain tire designed for SUV and light truck drivers who prioritize versatile traction and year-round capability in mixed driving conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on balancing on-road stability with off-road traction across diverse terrain types.

This tire features Cooper's all-terrain construction with aggressive tread blocks and siping patterns engineered to handle both pavement and trail surfaces. The 255/65R17 sizing provides a solid contact patch for medium to full-size SUVs and pickup trucks, while the compound formulation targets consistent performance across temperature ranges. Without available driver evaluation data, the tire's real-world performance characteristics remain to be established through user experience.
