Good to know. All this research I've been doing and I ran across the Cooper stt and st/c with armor tel/3 sidewalls anyone know anything about these tires? I saw a f-150 crew cab the other day with the st/c's and those tires looked like some bfg at's on steroids! Really mean looking! I think having the strongest sidewall possible on our heavy diesel trucks is very important. Anyone know anything about these coopers?

Sorry for all the questions about everything! At 300+ bucks a tire,for 35's on 20's I'm just trying to get the best performance/durability that I can get and not have a crap tire out on the trail! Here in Michigan we get just about anything/everything a truck and tire can have thrown at it. Sand, mud, rock, logging/seasonal roads snow up to your bumpers and ice thick enough to play hockey on the roads. All on the same road

 

The Stt and St/c tires you mentioned I have actually looked at purchasin myself. I talked to a few oil field guys, and they said they run the st/c tires for all of their trucks. They use and abuse tires all day everyday. If I would have had some more money at the time I would have bought those or the Stt tires. I have only talked to one guy about the Stts. He had a set of 35 or 37s on a lifted bronco. He used that as his do all rig. Tow, rock crawl, muddin, and daily driving. He said he loved those tires and were the longest lasting tires he has used so far for what he does. They look pretty wicked too.
Another tire very similar to the st/c is a mastercraft ct. Looks exactly like the st/c but with the lugs turned 90 degrees. I got a price quote from a guy on here, PERFORMANCETRUCK. He gave me a pretty good quote, but I found some different tires for a little more locally. You might also just go read reviews on random tire sights for some more info.

 

Mastercraft tires are made by Cooper. And Cooper makes a damn good tire. Period. You won't go wrong with either.

 

oh sorry i dont think theyre made by mickey thompson but the are the same technology as the mickey thompsons they just didnt show a demonstration for the dick cepeks.i think cepeks been around longer than mickey

 

I cant remember which one owns the other but they are owned by the same company. Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek that is

 

oh i didnt know that

 

mickey thompson owns dick cepek

id recommend the dick cepek mudcountry as long as ya dont mind the noise,if ya want a quieter ride the pro comp xtreme a/t would still do good

 

The thing to remember about the Xtreme A/T is they are a directional tire, which means they can only be "rotated" front to back and not crossed like a conventional rotation. Not a big deal though as I've done the front to back thing every 4000 miles and they've been wearing great.

Another thing to consider is your fuel mileage will drop more with a mudder than with an all terrain of the same size. The more aggressive the tread, the bigger the hit in fuel mileage due to rolling resistance.

 

i had the mud countrys on my ford. hated em. yes, they handled great on the road, wet or dry. but off road i was not to happy with the preformance. tore up easy on rocks, and werent great in mud or snow either.

also i only got about 10000 miles out of them. but i have a full spool in the rear. i will never get them again.

 

I know it's not in your list, but I love my toyo m/t's they last as long or longer than any a/t that I have tried. They are not cheap, but I don't get stuck very often. I'm in and out of muddy fields all day, drive lots on gravel and pavement, chip seal etc. I'm running the 295/70/17's. Not bad for noise either.....
