Cooper Discoverer Snow Claw Studdable
The Bottom Line
The Discoverer Snow Claw Studdable is best for SUV and light truck owners seeking a winter tire with a long treadlife and the option to add studs. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification could be a dealbreaker in regions with specific winter tire requirements.
Important Note
The absence of 3PMSF certification may limit its use in areas with strict winter tire regulations.
Pros
- High treadlife with a 60,000-mile warranty, which is uncommon for a winter tire.
- Studdable design offers flexibility for enhanced ice traction if conditions demand.
- Load index of 116 supports heavier vehicles, making it suitable for SUVs and light trucks.
Cons
- Lacks 3PMSF certification, which may be a concern for regions requiring certified winter tires.
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is likely to underperform in slushy conditions compared to competitors like the Continental VikingContact 7.
- Noise level at 6 is on the louder side, which could be noticeable on long drives.
