Cooper Discoverer AT3 215/85 R16 115/112R

5-Rib All-Terrain Design: The modern all-terrain design is engineered to provide outstanding performance in both on-road and off-road driving applications. The A/T3 tread pattern exploits a combination of features specically suited to provide solid all-terrain performance, superior all-season traction, excellent stability, confident handling and reliable tread wear.

Broken Centre Rib: The broken centre rib improves soft surface traction without sacrificing handling.
Dual Draft Tread Element Walls: The dual draft angles on the tread element walls aid in reducing stone retention, stone drilling and assist in cut and chip resistance.
Lateral Groove Protectors: Serrated steps in the lateral grooves of the intermediate tread rib reduce the chance of stone retention and stone drilling.

Regulation (EU) 2020/740

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.

Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

The best tire I have ever purchased by far. I feel safe in any weather condition any time on any type of road.

I purchased these tires to replace on my plow truck. Price was great, tires arrived within the time frame stated, they handle great on dry, wet or snow covered pavements and roadways. A bit noisier than most tires on pavement, but they do the job they were purchased for. These tires get thru snow without the use of 4wd, except when plowing , of course I engage then. Will definitely, if needed, buy these again and encourage others to do the same. Great tires...

Good all around tire.

These are by far the best tires I've ever owned. I'm off road about as much as on road. Almost no road noise. Handled 1.5 ton of gravel with little squat.
