Default STT Cooper questions

Hey guys, I have finally pretty much decided on getting the LT325/65R-18 Cooper STT (35's) and they are en E load tire, anyone running these? Is that ride really rough with the E load? Also will I be able to fit my spare on the stock rear tire carrier? appreciate everyone's help, finally decided on these after reading about how they are as DD and wanted an aggressive tire that worked well both on and offroad. pics would be great to!!

E is gonna be pretty stiff. I run the STT in 35/12.50R17 Load Range D and run mine at 25psi. If your lookin to run a 35" then order them in 35" if you can and they will fit your stock rims fine, you will need spacers though or else they will rub.

Thanks! They are great overall. I have 26,500 m on them and they're a little more or about half worn. Should get another 8-10,000 outta them befrore replacing, which is really good( and bad, I want bigger) They were queit till I got about 20,000 miles on em. Then they got louder. They're a great tire, hopin they come out with a 13.50 wide in a 37in tire, right now all they have is a 12.50 like the 35's. And yes, I would get them again , great tire, great ride, zero probs.

These tires are great. Gives you traction on all types of terrain and they are lighter than most other tires the same cat. and size. The only problem I have noticed that they chunk a little. The ride is also good.

Mine are 35" on 17" rims.
