Cooper Discoverer H/T 235/75/R15

I bought the Discoverer H/T for my SUV and have only one major complaint. Noise.

These tires hum loudly and I can tell how fast I'm driving buy the noise they put out. This is nerve racking and I hate the noise. The tires are advertised as noise limiting but it ended up noise enhancement. The tires are excellent quality and after 15,000 miles in 1 1/2 years, are holding up beyond my belief. I drive carefully and usually can get 65K to 85K out of tires.

I may be able to get this mileage but I am bound to deal with the noise. If it were not the noise, I would rate this a top tire. I replaced Michelin tires that did not have the noise level the Cooper does, but it looks like these tires will last longer.

by: R Pelletier

I bought 4 Cooper Discoverer HTP 245/70/R17 tires from Discount Tires. At 30000 miles I developed what I believed to be a tire whine. It gets real noticable @ 25mph and gets louder as speed increases. Had it test driven by Discount Tire manager and was told it was not the tires but wheel bearings. Wheel bearings were R&Red and I still have the same noise. Is this an anomaly or are others experiencing the same problem? Tires are a 65000 mile tire and I have only 32000 on them. Tires were rotated, balanced at the prescribed time.

Need 1 Cooper Discoverer HT 235 75 R15 tire with the white lettering. Road debris damaged the tire and Cooper discontinued the make of the Discoverer HT with white lettering. My tire(s) are only 1 1/2 years old.

I purchased a set of 4 Cooper Discoverer H/T tires for my old 1998 Chevy Silverado and can say that I am quite pleased with these tires. The truck has low mileage (110K) but never the less the last set of tires were getting extremely loud, thus the purchase of the Cooper Discover H/T's. The difference was astounding as the ride is very quite and smooth. The ride feels as though the truck is new again. The truck is used
primarily in the summer towing a boat & trailer

I have never had a wheel & tire rotation and never had noisy tires.
When you rotate wheel & tire unless you just move them from back to front you keep driving the tread in different directions every time they are rotated.
As they wear they get scrubbed one way then the opposite direction when rotated, this gives you the noise.
Don't have them rotated and they will go quieter.
