The Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT, a 3PMSF off-road all-terrain, topped Tire Rack's snow ranking. The drivers' preference rested on how it behaved rather than on outright grip, as its measured snow and ice results were mid-field at best, so it suits a driver who values a predictable truck in winter more than the shortest stop.

Head-to-head record
Overall finishing position against the tyres that have most often shared a test with the Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T. Only tyres tested alongside it at least three times are listed.
The Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT, a 3PMSF off-road all-terrain, topped Tire Rack's snow ranking. The drivers' preference rested on how it behaved rather than on outright grip, as its measured snow and ice results were mid-field at best, so it suits a driver who values a predictable truck in winter more than the shortest stop.
The Cooper Discoverer Stronghold A/T is the enthusiast's choice. It delivers the sharpest steering, the best off-road composure, and the strongest subjective snow performance according to Tire Rack's testing. That robust sidewall inspires confidence for harder off-road use. The trade-off is on-road refinement: it is the firmest of the three and carries noticeably more tread pattern noise, which could be a drawback for daily highway commuting. For the driver who wants to push their truck hard off-road and values precision over plushness, the Stronghold earns a strong recommendation.

The Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT finished tenth overall. It is one of the best tyres here in the snow, but it is the least comfortable on the road and only average on wet and dry tarmac.
