Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx 285/65R18, All Season, Mud Terrain tires.

Features and Benefits: Upgraded load durability; Mud terrain traction; All weather traction; Longer lasting usability; Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx TiresThe Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx is a mud terrain, all season tire made for light trucks. The tire increases the off-road durability. The Armor-Tek3 construction keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving and load pressure. The strengthened internal structure does not deform under the pressure, which enables the tire to securely carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, further boosting the load capacity. The Armor-Tek3 also upgrades the damage resistance by protecting the tire from external damage, while providing a safer performing capability. The aggressive tread design manages to boost the mud terrain traction. The staggered tread block placement and the wide grooves optimize the grip on soft, loose and uneven terrain surface conditions. This results in the model's constant forward motion, without allowing the tire to lose traction when driving through deep mud or on soft dirt. The tread design's elements also help to maintain a clean footprint. They disperse mud and snow packed between the tread elements, ensuring a better traction. The self-cleaning nature of the tread also prevents damage to the casing by avoiding stone retention. The model offers excellent all weather traction. The silica-infused compound and the optimal block placement increase the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the terrain surface. The silica rubber materials maintain their rubber flexibility, while the tread ensures the better year round surface grip. This combination ensures the tire's exceptional driving safety throughout the year. The Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx boosts the tread life as well. The durable compound elements and the stabilized footprint with the hybrid four-rib rib pattern work together to ensure a slower and even wear. The compound helps to lower the overall tread wear rate, while the tread design's stability avoids tread flexing. As tread flexing generates unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface, by preventing it the tire is able to evenly distribute the driving pressure. In this manner, the tire resists irregular wear formations, lengthening the usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
