sufficient
Ranked #6 of 8
The Cooper Discoverer Winter tire secured a 6th place finish among 8 challengers. It was given a final rating of 'Sufficient', reflecting a mixed performance. The tire was commended for its decent braking and traction on snow, in addition to being very quiet and fairly comfortable. However, it also faced criticism for its unexpectedly low lateral grip on snow. Despite respectable traction and braking grip, the tire exhibited understeer risks in wet conditions and less secure handling in dry corners, coupled with a high rolling resistance. The longer braking distances on wet surfaces further contributed to its drawbacks. Notably, the tire excelled in aquaplaning resistance in lateral tests and was also recognized for its low exterior noise, demonstrating strengths in specific areas despite its overall mixed review.
