Had Cooper Discovery A/T, and replaced with Cooper STT Pro. I didn't notice any vibration from the tires. The tires were 5+yrs old too, so were on the list to get changed sometime soon anyway. My reading on the subject showed the need of getting more tire rotations and balancing.

I have Cooper AT3 and they cup on the outside edge. I was told by one shop that it was the design in the tire. I'll try a different tire when it comes time and hope it is just the tire.

It's not a defect, it's a feature.
