Anyone ever run these tires??
 

Im in need of new tires for my CTD and i came across these yesterday at a local tire place. Look good to me but would like to get some responses with people who have run them and see what yall say about em!

I know Chuck (Duluth Diesel) runs em...he loves em...I'm sure he'll chime in and praise em here befo too long.

I just bought a set. I'll let you know.

My buddies run them and like them a lot.

actually, there is one thing Im not sure if I will like or not. the 33s for a 17" rim only come in a load range D

My buddy runs them on his jeep and he loves them. He said they wear good and get great off road traction. Sorry, but thats the only experience I have with them.......

lol ok, thanks for the replies so far

Keep em comin!

PM Duluth Diesel.

He's got'm and last I heard he loves them.

lots of guys down here in ky run them and they all love them i plan to buy them when i get some.

i used to run one of their first designs back in the early 90's. loved those to death. held up to air manuevers really well. from what i hear the new ones are only getting better. ask duluth diesel about 'em. he loves him some coopers.

i ran them on my 1/2 ton gasser and could only get 25000 miles out of them. to much money for that low of miles imho

LMAO sounds like I'm too well known. ;)

Yep, I've run Coopers since about 1994 for sure, and possibly before that. I've run them on trucks from 2wd rangers to dually Fords and my Dodge Cummins. They have always impressed me with how many miles I get out of them and how well they wear. My last set for my Dodge were the Cooper S/T tires in 315. The odometer went from 18,000 miles to 70,000 miles with those S/Ts, and they were still not down to the wear bars. In fact, I sent them down to Illinois and gave them to BossHawg600. He has them now, so he can attest to the condition they are in (I only gave away 3, keeping the 4th for my own spare). Now I am trying out the newly designed STT with the ArmorTek3 carcass, and I am impressed. Granted, the snow and ice traction of the STT isn't as good as the S/T or S/T-C, but they grab like mad. At the same time I got my STTs, my friend with his '03 CTD put 305 Goodyear MTRs on his truck, and mt STTs are considerably quieter.

When these wear out (especially with my upcoming bombs to the truck LOL) I will be getting them again. Cooper makes a great tire, IMHO. I have no stock in Cooper, and don't sell tires. I am just impressed with them. I could have easily gone 10k farther on those S/Ts, which would have put me at 60k miles on them before they would have been toast. I just like deep tread, so I replace tires early.

Additional note: I rotate my tires every 6,000 miles, and tinker with air pressure to get the wear right and avoid crowning. This helps me get lots of miles out of aggressive tires.

-Chuck

what size are you running DD?
and what load range

315/75R16 D rated.

I was really looking hard at the E rated Toyo Open Country MT tires in 315.

-Chuck

did you have an "LT" rated tire or a "P" rated tire. lots of guys go buy tires and are surprised that they only lasted "this" long. many times it's because they bought a "P" rated tire and not a "LT" rating. most companies offer tires in both ratings for most sizes. unless you ask or look at your sidewall, many times you'll never know.

not saying this happened to you but it's something to keep in mind anyway.

I was going to say the same thing or ask about tire pressure. some people just fill them up and run them and then blame the tire for crappy wear.

I am really looking hard at these coopers too for my next set. I am gonna be going to 315's. I like them, but I don't know who sells em around here.

no i kept them rotated and inflated but i dont know about the lt or p rating. guess ill have to read up a little more next time. thanks for the info

im running them in a 285/75/16 d flavor, and i absolutely love them, they are quiet, but aggressive, smooth as a street tire, yet once again, aggressive....ive had alot of different mud type tires, and these are by far the best for street/offroad use that ive had.....goodyear mt/rs are horrible, if youve ever considered them, take this second to slap your own wrist, trust me, they suck....i had a set on my super duty, and got stuck on flat ground in wet grass......and that was only after they were about 2 weeks old, now as far as the STTs go, ive had no issues, and trust me, ive been in a few places i shouldnt have with my truck, and my jeep on the trailer behind me...dont even guess about it, just go buy them and be happy:bow2:




sorry for the bible

well i got a set of 305 70 16 mastercrafts a/ts on my truck right now but have plans to go get a set of 285 75 16 cooper stts today. so ill let ya know how i like em zack.

well got my coopers here they are on the truck.
