Tire COOPER Discoverer STT PRO 245/75 R16
Tire description Cooper Discoverer STT PRO SUV tire was introduced by the North American manufacturer in the summer of 2015. From all other representatives of this line, this model is distinguished by excellent adaptability for operation, primarily on the roads, for which it, in fact, was created. At the same time, the North American company used almost all the latest technological developments that appeared after decades of successful activity in this area.
Reinforced frame
One of these technologies is ARMOR-TEK 3, which is a reinforced frame. The number "three" in the name indicates the number of steel cords used in the construction of the frame. For this reason, this model weighs several kilograms more than most of its analogues. However, this is an extremely small fee for exceptional durability and reliability, which is demonstrated by it even on the most difficult roads. The manufacturer claims a 50 percent reduction in damage. Another advantage of the additional steel cord is the greater tread resistance to uneven wear, which significantly increases its service life, as well as reduced rolling resistance.

Tread pattern with alternating number of longitudinal ribs
The tread pattern is characterized by openness, which is expressed in the form of a large number of individual blocks distributed over several functional areas - the central part and shoulder zones. They are arranged in such a way that during movement they form an alternating number of longitudinal ribs. Because of the shortened shoulder blocks, two or three are formed in the central part of them.
Increased softness on the go
In addition to acoustic comfort, a lot of attention of North American tire manufacturers when developing this model was paid to ensure good softness. For these purposes, special zigzag lamellas were used. Due to them, the tread blocks are deformed in a certain way, thereby absorbing most of the shock from irregularities on the surface of the roadway.

Open shoulder design
The above design features allowed the company’s specialists, without fear for comfort and other operational properties, to give the shoulder zones the most open design. They are characterized not so much by the presence of numerous blocks, but by their large width and considerable distance between them. Thanks to this, the Cooper Discoverer STT PRO tire demonstrates confident behavior when overcoming the most difficult terrain.
Additional coupling edges on the sidewalls
A significant part of the tread pattern is located on the sidewalls of the tires. The blocks located on them provide additional grip on sandy and earthen soils. In addition, they give the tire even more efficiency when it is running in a flat condition, which greatly improves off-road performance.
Reinforced rim design The
Excellent off-road reliability of this model is provided not only by a three-layer steel cord, but also by its optimized rim design. North American tire manufacturers have shaped this part of the tire in such a way that the likelihood of the rim getting both the tire itself and the rim is minimized.
At the same time, its reinforced design provides a more tight fixation of the tire to the rim. This feature significantly increases the traction and coupling properties, and in addition, allows you to use the tire in a flat condition.
The main features of the Cooper Discoverer STT PRO tire
- a three-layer steel cord provides a 50% increase in reliability when operating on the road, increases the tread resistance to uneven wear;
- low noise, due to the alternating number of longitudinal tread ribs and multi-step arrangement of blocks;
- special zigzag grooves give the tire extra softness on the go;
- the open design of the shoulder zones, containing many wide blocks, improves terrain patency with reduced bearing capacity;
- special asymmetric taps on the side walls of the blocks of the shoulder zones increase adhesion on sandy and earthy soils with a high moisture content;
- additional blocks on the sidewalls of the tire improve patency in the sand and in the mud;
