Customers praise the Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax's excellent wet traction, with most ratings scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight confident grip and hydroplaning resistance, delivering reliable all-season performance for crossover/SUV drivers. A few scores in the 7-8 range still reflect solid wet-weather capability.

...They have much better wet traction and we had a snow storm not long after installing these and they lived up to their severe snow rating and did significantly better in light/deep and packed snow...
Installed these approximately 30 days ago/2500 miles in early February 2020. I previously had on Firestone FR710 which came new with the car from the dealer. I initially noticed that the tires were much more smoother and had better responsiveness to them. They have much better wet traction and we had a snow storm not long after installing these and they lived up to their severe snow rating and did significantly better in light/deep and packed snow. I felt much more safer with these tires combined with the AWD of the SUV.

...Wet traction is about what I expect..any short comings is more the tall vehicle than the tire...
had Michelin Latitude HP (OEM) tire and never liked them in the snow. These are much better. Wet traction is about what I expect..any short comings is more the tall vehicle than the tire. Impact noise is noticeable but far from troubling. Nice job Cooper.

Have only used had the tires a few weeks, but they have seen rain and snow on both city roads and the highway. They have performed great in adverse conditions and provide great traction on snowy backroads. They are also smooth and decently quiet in the highway. Previous tires were in a bad way, so the upgrade to these has been very noticeable. Have the same Coopers on another vehicle and have had the same positive experience there too.

The Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax delivers excellent snow and deep snow performance, with most customers scoring 9s and 10s. Ice traction earns confident 7-8 ratings from most drivers, though a few note lower grip in extreme icy conditions.

I only have 1000 miles on the tires but at the moment I am very satisfied. I moved off BFG tires because of puncture failures. The ride feels improved. I caught the end of the 2024 Thanksgiving snowageddon in NW PA. The tire performed amazing in the snow. I had an 80 foot driveway that was full of 2.5 feet of snow. I was able to punch through and put the car in the garage when we got home. Can't wait to see how this tires wear.

I drove the Escape up a 4500 foot mountain during a snowstorm, and had no slippage at all from these things (the road was plowed, but still extremely steep and snow covered)...
I was a little concerned about noise after reading the Tire Rack review, but I have not noticed any significant increase over the stock all seasons, even at highway speeds. I can detect the slightest growl at around 30 mph, but that's only because I was looking for it.
I bought these tires primarily for the 3 Peak rating and gravel resistance, as we drive a lot of forest roads in the mountains. So far, I'm really impressed. I drove the Escape up a 4500 foot mountain during a snowstorm, and had no slippage at all from these things (the road was plowed, but still extremely steep and snow covered). My only complaint is that my mpg has dropped about 2 mpg from the stock tires, but I'm not surprised since these are far more aggressive and heavier. I was still averaging around 32 mpg on a recent 800 mile highway trip though - well worth the compromise for the performance. Oh, and they're kind of aggressive looking too, which I really like.

...The NE got hammered this year with snow and these tires handled it better than I expected. As far as handling in ice goes, get real. No tire is going to handle ice well unless it is studded and even then it's going to be marginal at best...
I live in NE PA, so I get to experience a lot of different driving conditions. I bought a set for my Acura RDX last fall. I pulled out of the tire store and right into a rain storm with autumn leaves all over the roads. The first thing I noticed was how smooth and quiet these tires were. I was also impressed with how they handled on the slick road way. I figured they would work out just fine in dry road conditions and I was correct. They are quiet and smooth riding.
The real test was going to be the snow. I drive a 4x4 most of the time, so comparing an all weather tire on an AWD in the snow is not a real apples to apples comparison. The NE got hammered this year with snow and these tires handled it better than I expected. As far as handling in ice goes, get real. No tire is going to handle ice well unless it is studded and even then it's going to be marginal at best. I've now put about 2k miles on them and they show no signs of wear and the handling and comfort are great. I would buy this tire again in a heartbeat.

...Dry traction has been fantastic... When alone I drive the van far more spirited than with my family, and these tires have handled my 'faster than normal' cornering speeds...
I purchased these as part of a wheel/tire package. The folks at Tire Rack did a fantastic job of installation, from new TPMS sensors and balance, it was a great purchase. I have a little over 1000 miles on them, and so far so good. Dry traction has been fantastic and I have driven through some heavy rain and street flooding. I have not been able to force them into a hydroplane situation, so my confidence with these have been great. We haven't had any snow fall here yet, so I can't comment on that yet, but I feel they will be good to go when it does eventually happen. My van is a brick on wheels and not known for being a quiet van (with Stow and Go seats), so the first 400-500 miles I could hear a low humming noise from these tires (which didn't bother me). Now that I am a bit over 1000 miles, the humming sound has gone away (kind of liked that sound lol). When alone I drive the van far more spirited than with my family, and these tires have handled my "faster than normal" cornering speeds. I really can't complain about these tires and can recommend them to my fellow mini vans dads out there. I am hoping to get 4 years from these tires, with scheduled rotations.

Customers overwhelmingly praise the EnduraMax's comfort, with most scoring 9s and 10s for smooth ride and low noise. Occasional 7s and 8s still reflect strong performance in its intended Crossover/SUV touring role.
Customers consistently rate treadwear highly, with most scoring 9s and 10s. The EnduraMax demonstrates excellent durability and long-lasting performance for crossover/SUV drivers seeking reliable all-season capability.

...In 63,500 miles they picked up only one road hazard... Got the full 60K miles out of warrantied the tread life, could go another 5K but the shoulders are getting worn and winter approaches...
These tires do nearly everything well. Wet and dry grid are plenty good. Ride comfort is great and they are quiet. While the snow and ice traction is way better than other all season tires, on my overpowered FWD mini-van, a little more winter grip when accelerating would be nice. They are very durable. In 63,500 miles they picked up only one road hazard. I drive at construction sites and occasionally on poorly maintained gravel and dirt roads. Previous tires were picking up road hazards every 7-10K miles and I have not changed my driving style. Got the full 60K miles out of warrantied the tread life, could go another 5K but the shoulders are getting worn and winter approaches. Van is rather heavy. Got better wear running 38-40 psi, while the van calls for 36psi. If I had all wheel drive, a vehicle less prone to wheel spin OR lived in a less wintery climate, I would put another set on in a heartbeat.

...These tires handle that and my dirt road well...
I really appreciate being able to discuss my driving circumstances with Tire Rack to obtain an apt recommendation. Hydroplaning and wet leaves had been a problem. These tires handle that and my dirt road well. There is some noise on grooved freeway surfaces, but I only encounter that infrequently and Tire Rack warned me of that possibility. I like getting my tires at Tire Rack!

...They were still legal after 75000 miles but naturally getting a little hard and not channeling water as well...
These are my initial impressions of the Cooper Enduramax tires for my wife's Crosstrek. I choose tires for family safety here in New England that have excellent wet and light snow performance ratings. If the price of the original Yokohama Geolander tires that came on the car weren't so expensive, I would have bought another set. They were still legal after 75000 miles but naturally we're getting a little hard and not channeling water as well. Many tires in this size have higher load ratings for heavier SUVs but I didn't want to compromise ride quality. So, what do I think? The straight through grooves are wider than I expected from the photos, so they tend to pick up and hold a few half inch or less pebbles. The upside is hydroplaning on a wash or large shallow puddle is non-existent. They are very quiet and handle pavement transitions on bridges comfortably. Tread squirm was a little disconcerting during break in but directional stability is good now. Only had one light snow storm so far and they handled it competently. Very few tire weights were needed to balance them but I now have detected a vibration at about 70 mph after about 1500 miles. Never had that with the Yokohamas. Overall a very good value. I'm 70 years old, and own a small collection of sportscars, racecars, and a few motorcycles. Trust these for your daily driver. Probably update my review in a year or so to let you know how they progress.
