spotted this egg on the inner sidewall. 😬

 

Not sure what inspired me to do the tire rotation last night, but grateful that my guardian angel kept me safe for however long I was rolling on that.

 

These tires have 3 years and 30k mi on them. I have been pretty pleased with the tires and did a lot of reading and research when I bought them.  My initial reaction last night was, I'm getting a new set of tires and switching brands.  However, in going back to my research from before the reason I chose these were because they had good on road performance, relatively quiet for an AT, lighter than most (44lbs each), aggressive enough tread for the limited off-roading I do, and plenty of load capacity for the hauling/towing I do. 

 

I went ahead and scheduled an appointment tomorrow for 4 new AT3 4S's

 

Change my mind.  Should I consider another brand like Falken? Go back to the noisy/heavy BFG's?  Something else?

 

 

Thanks!

Put a set on my truck earlier this year, nothing but good things to say about them. Great tires so far.

I have the Falken Wildpeaks (275/60R20) and I've been pretty happy so far. I had them installed in Feb 21 and at 52k miles. I'm now at over 75k miles and still in great shape. I did have to have them road force balanced again back in July of this year because I was getting some vibration. Luckily I bought them at Duscount Tire and can get them rebalance for the life of the tires as well as free rotations. They confirmed that one tire was off a bit and corrected it. Nice and smooth again after that...

Well.....Replaced all 4 today with a fresh new set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S.  Drives like a whole new ride.  Love the smell of brand new tires!

Great service from a local shop and even get a $70 rebate from Cooper.

I had a set on mine as well, but I too got a bubble on the outside tirewall.  I also went on ratings and loved the tires, but didn't have the change and had a 10 hr drive the next day so I went with Canadian Tire El cheapo's until I can afford another set.  Wonder if it is a manufacturing defect.

Did you reach out to Cooper to see what they had to say? I just had a set installed on my truck and now I'm going to constantly give them a look over for anything like this.

Probably. A link to recall was posted by @IGG in his comment above

Had a set of them on a 2013 Tahoe, rode smooth for a decently aggressive looking tire.

Thanks IGG!  I had no idea about the recall and didn't think to check. I will give Cooper a call and see what can be done.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
