i bought the cooper stt's for my NBS chevy dually (my welding rig)wich are a little bit more extreme tread than the st but i love them and bout to put 6 285 70 17son the ford dually they do awsome in the mud and clean real good up here in wyo right now they havent seen to much ice and snow but the seem to do good on the right of way with snow mud mix were every one else is slidin around with there at's im un stopable

 

helps to weigh 8K+ too in the snow...

 

that it does, ready to plow I weigh 16300 with me, a helper, 2 blowers, a mafia block, skid of salt and a full tank of gas, oh and cant forget the 10' road blade too. it is the nly time that truck rides like a caddilac

 

Um.........well I don't know how much snow and ice is where you are but in the Rockies where I live we see our share and I have zero complaints on my BFG AT's on ice and mild snow.

 

I've heard the Coopers wear very quickly too. Also heard that about the Toyo M/T's from my buddy that had them and that they were a bit louder but he's kinda stupid so I dont know how much weight his comments hold.

I've had BFG A/T's and completely hated them. They sucked in rain, mud, sand, gravel, snow, and ice. I slid through so many stop signs it was unreal.... and I was trying to be overly cautious in most cases!

Right now I have ProComp Xtreme A/T's and they are the best tires I've ever had. I cant hear em when I'm cruising down the highway, they've gotten me out of some pretty sticky situations in deep mud and snow. They also have a 40 000 mile tread wear warranty on em. I've easily put over 40 000 miles on em and have tons of tread left. I wont ever buy another tire.

 

Nope - Ive had the Cooper ST's on for a couple of years now and they are wearing really good.

BUT, they SUCK on ice.

 

So BFG A/T KO's, I thought they were good in snow and ice?? What size are you guys running that have huge complaints??

For snow and ice you should be running as narrow as possible...so a 245 or 265 max. If you're running 285-305+ Yeah you'll slide a lot more...

 

my friends always complain about the BFG A/T during rain and ice. Don't know about snow.
What about real winter tires? It's a huge different- I would never again go without.

Bad side is: It is the third set of tires now- I'm running out of space.
But they changed the law over here: You have to have appropriate winter tires now.

 

My BFG's were pretty much whatever the stock size tire that came on the truck was. That was before I bombed 'er all out.

 

I am currently running Mastercraft courer C/T which is just a knock off from Cooper and I am not impressed at all with the tread life, traction...
