I like my Cooper Discoverer S/T's better on and off road than the BFG AT's that I had run on previous Jeeps and trucks.

I am running the Pro Comp Extreme All Terrain. I have about 6000 miles on them now. I love the tire. it is quiet, rides great and does not slip on the rocks. I don't go in the deep mud, so I can't tell you. Hope it helps.

Default STT's

I've got about 15k on my Cooper STT's so far and don't have a single complaint yet. They seem to be wearing fine w/ rotating every 6k. I get alot of compliments on their look too. Would recommend.

Does anyone know how many miles can be expected from MT's on mostly pavement driving. I don't wheel that much but I still want the KM2's. I am concerned that I won't get 30k out of them. Thanks.

Got close to 16K miles on my 33x12.5R17 Cooper STT's on our unlimited and they still look like new...lots of tread left on them!!! Rotate the 5 tires every 5-6K miles.

I am interested in this tire. How well do they do on the road when it is wet? I realize you are in Geogia, but do you or anyone else experience these in snow? Could you also provide a sound clip of these when driving down the road? I don't mind some noise, but I don't want to not be able to hear myself think Are they any louder than Rubi tires (BFG MT's)?
