Default Cooper S/T Maxx

What's up everyone! ! I was wondering if anyone has some opinions on the cooper s/t maxx tires.. I'm looking specifically at the 275/70/18. I've been reading whatever I can about them and they seem like a good option for an aggressive AT tire. I've been going back and fourth with the duratrac but the cooper are a little less expensive and I figure I can put the extra money towards the leveling kit and spacers! I'm looking for a true 33" tire thats also wider than stock. I'd love to see pictures of them mounted on a jk if anyone has any.

Thanks for your help!

They replace the stc apparently and those tires were excellent, the people who do own these tires seem to love them. I would try them out if not I would go for the stts, incredible tire more of a mt, but they did excellent all around.

I have them in the 285/70/17 size. They are great on and off road. But are very very stiff. So airing down to 30 or lower is needed. Work great in most every condition and look great on the jeep.

Thanks for the reply's! I've been concerned about the stiffness of the tire! How low can they be aired down? I unfortunately don't go off road very much so they'll primarily be used for DD.

I run mine at 30 psi. I have e loaded tires for winter too and are much softer in the side wall. The cooper looks great and performs amazing off road in all types of terrain. I'm going to have a hard time going to another tire.

NOpe, my winter studded tires are also e rated, but are much softer than the coopers at an e rating.

I wonder if the duratrac's are as stiff. I'm torn between the two and I've read about people airing them down from 26-30 psi for a smoother ride.
