I was quoted $156 for ST's in a 265/75/16 size from a local shop up here in W WA state.

When I was looking for tires for my H2 wheels back in January, I was trying to find a website that had prices for Cooper tires, but I never did have any luck. I found a few specials with prices listed online, but nothing like what Tirerack has, with prices for individual sizes. I ended up getting Cooper Discoverer ATRs, & I sure like them. Sorry I couldn't help you out any, though.

Here you go:

By the way, i just purchased a set of four Discoverer ATR tires, 276-75-16 LR E retail in north central Massachusetts for $125 per tire, plus sales tax. Price includes mounting and balancing. It was supposedly a special shipment, and when the supply was gone, the price would go to $149

Take it for what it is worth.

I called cooper and they told me they were not having good luck with the ATR on the heavier trucks they were chunking and wearing faster than expected. So he recomended i go with the ST's and people where really having good luck with them as to wear 50k and traction.The tire guy is down the street from me and he told me about the ATR and couldn't wait for them to be released so he could put them on his f350 p/s well he did and when the snow came i noticed he took them off and put the ST's on i asked him why he said they sucked when he plowed and he got stuck on wet grass. what i'm trying to say is here is a guy that can run any tire he want's and he has ST's so i bought some. They do sing a little but there not annoying. just my two cent's. dave

If you believe they will last 50k you have been talking to a sales man to long. I run them on a 2800#(Toyota's) truck and only get about 35k or so. You might stretch it to 40k but could not stand them any longer. On a diesel you might get 30k on them. Good tire, Just crappy mileage. I have run aggressive at tires on this truck to 50k before.

FYI, i was gonna buy some cooper stt's a couple weeks ago and the tire shop told me cooper was redesigning the tread pattern and they were in the middle of it, so you cant get the new ones yet. they also raised their prices like $5-10 per tire.

i ended up with the maxxis buckshot mudders, made by cooper for a $153 a piece total out the door in 285/75/16.

Is the ATR a new Cooper tire....I have the discoverer 265/75/16/E AT I have just under 20K on em and their half worn. At first they seemed to wear really quick, but have been wearing like iron since....For a load range E tire they are nice. Good ride good sidewall, best tire balance yet, And man they were soo much smoother on the road than my BFG AT's I replaced
I paid 112 a piece for em in July. No balance etc I get that free
Sad thing is around 90K miles or sooner Ill have already put 4 sets of tires on this truck.

Yes, the ATR is a new model introduced this winter. You can see them on the Cooper tire web site www.coopertire.com

Yup, the ATR is the newest model for light pickup truck. I think they came out last fall. I'm glad that I'm reading this because I was planning on getting a set of ATR later this year. Looks like the S/T will be my first choice now.

I've been very pleased with my ATRs in the snow this winter, & we've had a lot of it. They're a really good all purpose tire, IMHO. Good all around traction, quiet, & I haven't even needed a balance & rotation yet after 12k miles on them.
