Mastercraft Courser LTR Tire Review & Rating
The Mastercraft Courser LTR light truck all-terrain tire is part of the company’s economy line of tires that is designed to save you money while delivering solid on or off-road performance. The LTR is very similar to the AT2, but features a lower mileage tread warranty and a lower price point.
A tougher tread compound and five-rib tread pattern that is M+S rated, is built to give this model more than adequate grip on all types of road surfaces, as well as on more difficult off-road terrain. With up to an E load rating and 10-ply structure, the Mastercraft LTR is right at home in hauling heavier loads.
Mastercraft, which is a division of Cooper Tire, uses a wider footprint and dual radius tread arc that provides uniform pressure throughout the contact patch for more consistent grip and enhanced tread wear.
A number of 14-18 inch sizes are available, and the LTR is backed with a 40K mile tread warranty.
Pros
- Very good on and off-road traction
- Smooth riding tire
- Treadlife
- Value for the money
Cons
- Road noise as tire wears down
- Traction on ice and hard-pack
Overall Thoughts
Mastercraft has filled a needed niche with their LTR model. Not only is the price much lower than what you’ll find on AT tires from the big name manufacturers, but the performance this tire delivers is very good. Whether on or off-road, traction is not an issue.
Grip on wet pavement is about average among tires in this class. What may surprise you somewhat is the smooth ride it provides on the highway. In addition, treadlife has shown to be very good.
Our only areas of concern would be the added road noise you may find as the tire wears down. It’s a common issue that occurs with many AT tires. The other area is traction in difficult winter conditions, especially ice and hard-pack. Again, this is quite common for tires in this class.
Overall, we believe the Mastercraft LTR is ideal for those who live in rural areas and drive on gravel or dirt roads, or for those who are simply looking to save a good deal of money on a set of all-terrain tires.
