What are your road and off road driving needs?

This active thread might get you started on the Pros and Cons of the Coopers:

2 different types of tires brother. The duratrac are an A/T tire with a pretty aggressive tread and the Cooper STT is an M/T which are very aggressive. It depends on what you want to do, if you drive long commutes and don't go wheeling often it might be good to go for the duratracs although they are a pretty new tire and longevity of tire life as yet to be known. I have the cooper STT in 35's and love them, they are a great on/offroad especially in mud and they are also very quiet. I have had them on about 8k Miles and are wearing great. On top of that they are much less $$ money than other M/T's and just as good! Its a jeep man, get an M/T!! Good luck on your choice!

Although they both have a more "classical" MT tread design, the Coopers are more aggressive since they have a higher void ratio.

The Duractra owners seem to very happy with them, and the Goodyear's might be better on snow packed roads, but if you want a more aggressive MT, the Coopers are a good value.

I have seen the SST in action where usually only serious MTs really do well. Very impressive.
