I think you mean cooper STT's, I have them on my daily driver, they are a great all around tire, they do have some road noise to them, but not bad.

my MT/Rs W Kevlar are not what they say they are.... the sidewall says 35x12.5x15.
I had to enter 34.25 into the Procal and then the superchips to get the speedo correct

If you check the manufacturer's web sites, they typically list the "actual height" in a table with the other tire specs.

coopers website says:
315/75R16 = 34.47"
35x12.50R17 = 34.76

goodyear webitesite says:
315/75R16 = 34.8
35x12.50R17 = 34.8

Remember these are the heights of the tires before adding the weight off the vehicle.

I don't know how accurate you need to know actual tire height, but it is dependent on loading (bumpers, winch, spare size, etc) and more importantly air pressure. Rim width and sidewall construction (load rating) also factor in.

My D rated KM2s listed at 34.8" tall are just 33.3" at 30 psi and 34" at 35 psi.

And they typically over state the actual height... My 35/1250/17 MT/R Kevlars measure 34.25 mounted on a 8" wheel with 30 psi. That is without the weight of the vehicle. This is pretty close to the manufacturers stated size. The MTZ's I had previously were 3/4" smaller than stated size...

I have the MTR/K's and a buddy at work has the Coopers and the appear to be the same height. If there is a difference it is very small.
