I put 275/60/20 Cooper Discoverer ATP on Friday. The ATP is just a slight different tread than the AT3, supposedly the ATP is made exclusively for Discount Tire. If you don't need a super aggressive tire, I think its tough to find a better tire than the ATP. 55k warranty, great look, and even better price. They even gave me $75 a tire for my junk Wrangler RSA's. I don't have a level kit yet, and I just barely rub when at full lock, after a level kit I will have 0 problems.

They gave back 75 per tire? With how many miles on them?

Just picked up the Hercules and dropped the truck off for install. Doing Nitrogen as well to eliminate my pain in the ass sensors for the weather swings here for winter.

I am about to put some Hercules tires up on mine. Made by Cooper tires and local here to me in MN. Handful of Silveraydo folks here have had awesome luck with these for all season and the winters we experience. Price is hella good too. Under $180 per tire. Also Hercules has free road hazard coverage with the tires. Worth a look for all you tire nuts.

Those don't look half bad. I'm interested in a quieter All Terrain tire that has a fair amount of siping on the treads, as I live in a snow climate. I'm curious what kind of mileage they are rated for? When you get them installed, please post a few pics from different angles.

I'll have to do photos tomorrow. I believe the website lists the warranty but its 60000 miles and so far I like them. Was good and wet today and they worked well. Not noisy at all, I did not hear any difference in tire noise, and they look fitting on the truck.

How many miles did you have on yours when you sold them?

mikedege · November 18, 2015

Just over 1000 miles.

I just put the BFG KO2's on mine and couldn't be happier. I was going back and forth between the 275/60, 275/65 and 305/55's but ended up with the 275/60's. I couldn't justify the additional $50 to $100 per tire for only one or two sizes bigger, also didn't feel like dealing with any rubbing issues.

They have a nice aggressive look, without being to aggressive...

Nice truck!

I had the same set up on my truck for about 6 months. I just switched to 305/55/20's with my new wheels to take advantage of a more aggressive offset. The ride of 275/60's is better and honestly more practical. If you drive high miles, the 275/60's are the ticket for cost and ride.

Here are the pictures. It has been raining past couple days here so I apologize for the poor quality. My brother with a 2014 Silverado LT Z71 just put same tires on his 18" wheels as well.

i'm kinda in the market for the G2's and the KO2's as well. im running 295/60/20s right now which they have in the G2s. but they only have 285/65/20s in the KO2's. I'm rubbing at almost full lock when im cutting it in reverse. being that the 285/65s are taller but more narrow, would this cause more rubbing or less?? any input would great, Thanks!

How smooth do they ride?

Are they any louder than your stock tires were?

That's a great looking truck. I think I have decided to go with the KO2s in 275/60/20
