About This Tire

The Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx 235/85R16 is an all-terrain tire, designed for pickup truck, SUV, and van drivers who prioritize off-road capability and year-round traction in demanding conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on cut-and-chip resistance, stone ejection, and maintaining traction across loose terrain while delivering confident performance on paved roads.

The tire features a symmetric hybrid four-five rib design with an open tread pattern and multiple block edges for clawing traction on soft soil, rocks, and gravel. Stone ejector ribs and non-parallel groove walls help prevent rock retention and stone drilling, while in-block sipes create biting edges for wet weather performance. Driver feedback points to strong wet weather performance and excellent comfort levels, with solid dry traction and good long-term durability in real-world use.

Compared to highway-focused tires, it adds significant off-road traction while maintaining reasonable on-road manners and noise control. Overall, it's a solid choice for work trucks and recreational vehicles used for job site access, gravel roads, and moderate off-road adventures where durability and all-weather capability are essential.
