I really like my new Cooper STT's. Haven't got a chance to get them off road or in rain. I may have 50 miles on them. What really surprised me about this tire is how quiet it is for a mud terrain. I looked at the Toyo's but it was a heavier tire and the availability wasn't there. Price was also much better. I ordered my wheels from 4WD and just got the tires local. I was going with the Goodyear Kevlar but there was going to be a 3-4 week wait. FYI - when you order call Bustabiz and he can tell you what he has in stock.

I went the cheap route and got a set of Maxxis Bighorns from a freind who ordered them direct at wholesale. the 315/75/16's cost me $163.99 a tire. If I hadn't done these tires and was going to drop a lot more coin, I would have gone with the Toyos or the BFG KM2's However the $600 I saved in total will be a nice chunk of cash to go towards my next mod (whatever that is).

The Duratracs are what I would call an agressive AT tire. Won't do what a MT will do-But civilized on the road in wet and snow. I guess if there was a category it would be a AP-all purpose tire. However remember the old saying-Jack of all trades-master of none holds true here.

I've been quoted anywhere between $20 to $25 a tire. Most of these came from local shops as the big tire delaers won't mount new tires that were purchased elsewhere.
