I have used the Cooper brand tires before on other vehicles with no issues. The Dicovery AT3 is a nice looking tire. I would choose them myself if I was in the market. Let us know how they work out and post some pics when you get them installed.

I've only had one set of coopers that i recall. They did in fact seem squishy to me back then, maybe that's their business philosophy to make as softer product that designed to give better grip on asphalt or tarmac.

Cooper tires advertises a softer ride, which makes for a "squishier" tire.
They have a soft rubber compound that can reduce life.

So, I went with the AT3's. I had Cooper HT's on It before and got about 70.000 mi. Maybe went a little to long. Ive never wanted all terrain tires before because Im mostly on pavement. The AT's are supposedly 70% Pavement 30% off road.
So far I hardly notice the road noise. No noticeable loss in mpg. Handles very well and feels stiffer. Ill know when I put a load on.
