I have the SST's. I like them, they were great last winter with all the snow we received (an unusual amount). They also impressed me on the ice - they did a lot better than I thought. I was going to put the stock ones back on before the snow came last winter, but we got hit by an early blizzard - so the SST's stayed on - and I am glad I left them on. The stock ones would not have handled the deep snow near as well.

I have them, 35", they ride better than I expected and the road noise is minimal. They have only been on for about 5000 miles, so I cannot comment on wear. You will not be disappointed.

STT's are awesome...I have been extremely pleased with the wear, how quiet they ride on the highway, awesome in the mud and no lug chunking on dirt/gravel roads. I have about 40K km's on these tires and they still look new. I do rotate about every 7500km and all 5 in the rotation...which has helped with wear.

They have a very similar tread pattern to the Toyo M/T's which I looked at but the Cooper STT's were cheaper and weighed about 10#'s less than the Toyo. However, the STT's don't have as strong sidewall as the Toyo M/T's.
