Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek | 2019-2020


Designers: Cooper Tire New Product Design Team, Cooper Tire, Findlay, Ohio, USA
Manufacturer: Cooper Tire, Findlay, Ohio, USA


The Discoverer® Rugged TrekTM is built for drivers of pickup trucks and full-size SUVs looking for a tire with rugged appearance, great off-road performance, and maintains a smooth, comfortable ride on streets and highways. The tire has been 3PMS certified, and it has a best-in-class treadwear warranty at 60K (SUV) and 55K (LT) miles.

The Discoverer Rugged Trek utilizes multiple technologies to achieve its stellar performance:
• Cooper's Stable Trac Technology helps provide stability and control from omni-directional, micro gauge siping which enhance grip on pavement and rough surfaces
• Whisper Grooves help dampen sound from the tread pattern and reduces in-cabin noise
• Aggressive Stone Blockades built into the edges of the tread grooves expel lodged rocks to protect against damaging stone drilling
• Earth Diggers molded into each shoulder help dig into loose surfaces for extra traction in difficult all-terrain environments and snow.
Lastly, Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek tires allow drivers to personalize their vehicles by offering two different sidewall designs - allowing the driver to select the perfect look to match their vehicle’s attitude.
One side features a "Knife- Edge" styling with straighter lined shoulder elements, while the other side’s "Mountain Pass" design includes jagged elements reminiscent of rugged mountain peaks.
