Does any of you have experience with Cooper's AT3?

What is your thoughts/conclusion?
.. and what are you comparing with?

They are damn good 60-70k miles no problem with rotation every 6-7k miles. works very good on snow and ice in northern Michigan. Been using them for 20 years. except once when money was tight and used bfg's 40k and wore out

@thor, I believe it would have been an older version of the tire you used? I thought the AT3 is fairly new ...

@34064, I've heard a few experiencing too many punctures.

Meanwhile, how is the ride quality ??

Btw, on of the reason why I am considering this tire is because I currently run General Grabber AT2 which is a really great tire. However the side walls are very stiff giving a rough ride ...

Ride quality is good but depends on pressures

all of my at's have been excellent. On ATR's 1 year before AT3. They only improve with each generation of them. Better rubber compounds, tread designs, better belting and methods in the carcass construction. They only get better with time and technology

Don't take my word read these reviews. Oh and we have puncture warranty with our coopers

I've run the AT3s for a couple of years here in Colorado. They are one of the best tires that I've put on the Rover. Great in snow in spite of not having studs, decent highway performance with an acceptable noise level and very good off road capabilities. 50,000 mile tires with rotation. Next set are going to be LTs instead of P rated, though.

LT's last longer yet than P rated. Had that on my expedition P rated, then switched to LT rated
