The Discoverer Stronghold AT is Cooper's Off-Road All-Terrain tire, built for the drivers of pickups, crossovers, and SUVs looking for dependable traction off-road that can still offer some comfort on the pavement. Purpose-built to conquer dirt, gravel, mud, and the challenges of the city streets. It seamlessly blends off-road capability with secure on-road performance and reliable year-round traction. Notably, it handles light snow capably enough to meet the tire industry's severe snow service rating and displays the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Discoverer Stronghold AT callouts

The Discoverer Stronghold AT's specialized rubber compound forms the base of its next-generation all-terrain tread pattern. This design features tough, interlocking tread blocks for off-road action, while adjusting the individual lug designs for improved tread-life and resistance to irregular wear. The alternating scoop lugs in the shoulders join the distinctive hook sidewall molding to find grip in gravel or loose soil, while stone-ejecting ledges between each block keep rocks from getting lodged in the tread. Deep, circumferential grooves and wide, lateral notches fight against hydroplaning. Alternating textured edges lining the shoulder block interiors create biting edges needed for snow traction when winter strikes.

The internal construction of the Discoverer Stronghold AT consists of a robust, two-ply polyester casing. A single-ply, polyamide reinforcement above two high-strength steel belts further increases durability and handling response, along with providing high-speed stability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

...The poor weather traction for an aggressive all terrain has been exceptional...

Tire size for these was an intentional decision to go narrow. The poor weather traction for an aggressive all terrain has been exceptional. I don't take too much for granted in the rain so have not pushed their limits there. But snow, both light and +14" on and off pavement have been exactly what I had hoped for. Very sure footed. Not certain how much is the contact and how much is the tread design. But the compound has been good in conditions my old Dynapro's were lacking even early in their lifespan. Road noise is present, but these make of for that in every other way. Compared to similar offerings you won't be left with large spaces without siping/grooves as many others.
I have zero regrets and recommend them to anyone in the market for such a category of tire.

Bought and installed right before an ice storm. Was amazed at the traction these have on ice and snow. Even if i wanted them to slip/spin, they grabbed more than any of my previous sets of A/T, or M/T's. With the mileage warranty on these, it makes it that much better. Great grip in mud as well. Hard surface driving is smooth and predictable. Fantastic all around tire for light truck or suv. 100% recommend this to anyone for a mixed use tire

...These are not true winter tires but have performed admirably in the fresh mountain snow and most recently in the 8-10 inch accumulation we just had on the highway. 4WD is not an idiot pass on snow/ice covered roads, but these were a marked improvement in grip on the pavement... While too small to float I have been impressed with the ability to maintain traction in 6+ inches of snow on inclined unmaintained roads...

Put these on just before Montana winter kicked in. I just retired the Hankook Dynapro tires that were almost new when I bought my truck (245/75R16). They were not bald, but beyond my traction needs in the mountains. Stepping up to the Cooper Discovery Stronghold AT (235/85R16) has been a confidence inspiring change. These are not true winter tires but have performed admirably in the fresh mountain snow and most recently in the 8-10 inch accumulation we just had on the highway. 4WD is not an idiot pass on snow/ice covered roads, but these were a marked improvement in grip on the pavement. These are my 1st set of skinny tires, which might be a factor. However, the deep tread death and generous sipes are noteworthy features. While too small to float I have been impressed with the ability to maintain traction in 6+ inches of snow on inclined unmaintained roads.

If you on considering these tires I would HIGHLY recommend.

I cover a generous amount of highway miles. Both interstate and state route highways living in Montana. These are proving to be a great combination of road manners and off pavement traction. Running the dogs in the winter mountains is an enjoyable adventure again. The Hankook tires may have been slightly quieter when newer but cannot compare in traction on loose or slick surfaces. Well done Cooper.
