Cooper Discoverer Snow Claw Winter Tire

The Cooper Discoverer Snow Claw is a studdable winter tire (snow tire) built for pickup trucks, SUVs, full-size vans and commercial vehicles. It is made for drivers who need dependable traction on snow- and ice-covered roads. Its winter tread compound stays flexible when temperatures drop, so the tire keeps gripping the road in bitter cold.

Key Features:

• Snow Groove technology: Serrations in the circumferential grooves trap snow. Snow-to-snow contact adds traction, handling and stopping power in packed and deep snow.
• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rated: The tire meets industry severe snow service requirements for moderate to severe winter conditions.
• Studdable design: The tire is molded to accept optional 11mm (TSMI #12) metal studs, where permitted by law. The studs add grip on ice, slush and snow.
• Winter tread compound: The compound is made to stay supple in extreme cold.
• High sipe count: Densely siped tread blocks add biting edges for wet and wintertime traction.
• Symmetric tread pattern: Less gap between tread elements helps with handling on clear roads, including when carrying heavy loads.
• Black sidewall and radial construction.

Cooper tested the Discoverer Snow Claw in several countries. It is designed for winter use, so it is best suited to cold-weather driving and not to temperatures that stay consistently warm. For the best balance and handling, install winter tires in sets of four.
