Default Tires: down to two

Copper STT or Toyo MT

Will be on a DD.

I run trails, some mud and smaller rocky terrain, nothing like out West though.

Wet and snow traction is also somewhat important but not critical.

Well, that Cooper is a copy of the Toyo MT so that should tell you something. It's a good tire for sure, but not quite as good as the original.

Toyo MT. Great tire that will last. I'm personally not a fan of anything Cooper makes

My next set will be Toyo's for sure! Some tall, skinny 255/85-16's!

I've driven a few rigs with toyos and liked them, they give pretty good wear, are tough as hell, but are also pretty damn heavy. Never did hear anything bad about them

Love my toyos, pretty quiet considering how aggressive they are

i've run both and they are both great tires. having said that, if i had to choose, i'd get the toyos. they have never let me down. they are a tough tire with sidewalls that are just about bullet proof and are really really round. in fact, i have never taken the time to balance a single one i've owned.

While as I run ProComp XTreme AT's now and love them, I am all for the Toyo's. Yea, heavy....but who cares! Go with the TOYO's! TOYO TOYO TOYO! hahaha
