Ive heard good things on both....the cooper chunks on rocks(we dont have those here in the mississippi delta) they ride good on street, but they are made of a harder compound. I had a set of really used ones i never installed--they were hard as brick bats. the other big variable is the price. I can buy a set of four Coopers here locally at a farmers co-op for $1236 including tax. I can have the Toyo sent here by Treaddepot for $1409 total.$173 difference

MY QUESTION IS THIS....DOES $173 MORE MAKE IT A NO BRAINER TO GO WITH THE TOYOS. THANKS

 

I've run the Toyo's and they are a great all-around tire. The coopers have the price point advantage. If you're really just running around in them, why not save some dough?

The Toyos are a 13.50, while the Coopers are a 12.50. That may be another consideration for you as well.

Either is a win in my book - they get you on 37's!!!

 

i've run both and both are good tires. i prefer toyos as they are in my opinion, a better tire, quieter on pavement, have a rubber compound that is outstanding on the rocks (no a concern of yours) and have near bullet proof sidewalls. the coopers will most likley give you more tread life due to the harder rubber and because of it, may be a better buy for your needs.

 

cant speak for the toyos, but I ran the coopers for 2 years and miss them! the tread pattern is very similar to the toyos as well. I highly recommend the STT's.

 

really... I have heard many raving about the Toyo tread life... if Cooper is better that is the way to go... if you don't need max off road...

 

The cooper stt's I had were pretty much done after 30,000m. Great riding tire, the load range D's in 35's I had were actually a soft ass compound, pieces chunked off in the rocks and they, over time got considerably louder than the Toyo's 37's load range E I'm running now which I'm at over 50,000m. As much as I liked the ride of the Coopers, the Toyo's life and toughness win out. Especially when the tires are comparable in price.

 

interesting, i never got to give the coopers a full term test and the ones we have on vengeance, well, i figured they'd been on there for a long time they're so worn out. if that's the case, i'd have to give my love back to toyo

 

I am very happy with my 37 Toyos. Bullet proof at an e load for the JK, just run them at 28 street and 8-10 Offroad. The Toyos are also notoriously round and don't have balance issues. Some guys run them unbalanced with no issues. No experience with the sst, but love my Toyos.

 

I ran 33" STTs for 3 years and 90,000 miles. Very similar tread pattern compared to the Toyos. Why did I purchase Coopers over Toyos? Lighter weight, I don't do rocks often, less expensive, and Coopers are made in America.

 

90K miles on a set of tires..... that is amazing!!!!
