Tuned to deliver the snow traction of traditional winter tyres, the Cooper Discoverer A/TW is a new hybrid truck tyre that combines all-terrain and winter capabilities. Justifying the snowflake symbol on the sidewall, this Discoverer features cold-temperature-friendly tread compounding and winter siping (tread slits) for snow traction. To see if this unique tyre lives up to its promise, we put it through our extensive tyre test program.
After months of evaluation, we were impressed with its well-balanced grip and handling on the open road, long tread life, and good ride qualities. Snow traction was rated very good but the Discoverer did not distinguish itself much from many other all-terrain tyres. Still, the A/TW proved to be more capable in the wintery conditions than Cooper’s Discoverer A/T3, a more traditional all-terrain tyre.
