    Mastercraft Tires is a premium tire manufacturer that offers a range of tires for passenger vehicles, such as sedans, coupes, CUVs, SUVs, minivans, and full-size light trucks. Mastercraft comes under the Cooper Tire umbrella and uses the latest technology and manufacturing processes for superb quality tires.

    The Mastercraft Courser HXT is an all-season tire designed for use on CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks, and offers drivers enhanced traction in dry, wet, and winter road conditions. In this Mastercraft Courser HXT tire review, we will take a look at some of the features and benefits of the tire, its pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s views on the tire.

    Features and Benefits

    All-season tires are designed with a specialized tread pattern that can deliver a comfortable and reliable driving experience year-round in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions. The tires are durable, generally come with a limited manufacturer tread life warranty, and are preferred by daily drivers for their excellent performance.

    Mastercraft Courser HXT is an all-season, tough, and reliable tire that offers excellent durability and traction. The tire features interlocking tread elements, lateral slots, a continuous shoulder rib, and several other features, boosting the performance of the tire. Here are some of the noteworthy features and benefits of the tire.

    • Improved wet grip: The wide circumferential grooves enhance water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and improve grip.
    • Increased traction: A 7% increase in the number of lateral slots helps increase traction in wet and snow conditions.
    • Enhanced handling: The interlocking tread elements at the center of the tire improve handling.
    • Quiet and comfortable ride: The continuous shoulder provides resistance to irregular wear and ensures a quieter ride.

    The Courser HXT is available in a variety of tire sizes ranging from 15 to 20 inches and is backed by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

    Pros and Cons

    Now that we know more about the features and benefits of the Mastercraft Courser HXT, let’s also take a look at some of the pros and cons of the tire.

    PROS:

    • Enhanced wet, dry, and winter performance and traction.
    • Smooth and comfortable driving experience.
    • Backed by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

    SimpleTire’s view on Mastercraft Courser HXT tires

    If you are looking for a set of all-season tires for your pickup truck, CUV, or SUV, then the Mastercraft Courser HXT might be the right fit for you. Designed with enhanced dry, wet, and winter grip, this tire offers a smooth, reliable, and comfortable driving experience. Also, the 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty adds to the utility of the tire.

    Also, consider the Crosswind HT2, if you want better longevity (SimpleScore of 8.6 v 7.9) and traction (7.9) at a more affordable price. However, if you want better durability (8.1 v 7.7), you should go for Mastercraft Courser HXT.

    As Mastercraft Courser HXT is available in a variety of tire sizes, it can be used as a good replacement tire for different vehicles, such as 2021 Nissan Titan, 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2006 Toyota Tacoma, and more.

    I have years of experience with Mastercraft tires. Mastercraft Courser MSR dedicated winter tires easily handled the harsh Rocky mountain winters where the former Michelins on my 2006 Tacoma did not. I towed a pop-up, then a 21 foot travel trailer for many years behind that Tacoma. The Mastercraft tires easily handled every driving situation imaginable. I just replaced the Tacoma w/ a new Tundra because our new 26 foot travel trailer is too big for the Tacoma. Following my success w/ Mastercraft, I bought these 10 ply E rated Courser HXT tires to handle the bigger TT w/ peace of mind. I highly recommend Mastercraft in general and these Courser HXT LT commercial truck tires specifically for your ½ ton truck. Even if you never tow anything behind you, the 10 ply sidewalls give your ½ ton a whole new solid driving feel. The Mastercraft damage/replacement warranty is better than Michelin and Mastercraft is less expensive. Michelin spends millions of dollars every year advertising to get our attention. You won't see Mastercraft reviews in Consumer Reports, but Mastercraft is the hidden gem in top drawer tires. I am a loyal Mastercraft owner for life!
