Comparatively speaking the Cooper STT really doesnt get that much in the way of adoration compared to the usual suspects you see here on the forum when talking about MT's: Its always KM2's, MTRK's, Nitto's & Toyo's.

Just curious why that is, since in my opinion the STT was a really good tire & its actually a little less expensive option.

 

Copper STT are great tires and made in the USA ifI remember correctly. Lots of brainwashing about the Falkens and BFGs for sure!

 

I have Cooper STT's and love them!

 

I've always liked them based on looks and reviews but from what I've seen recently they aren't any cheaper km2s and mtr.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

 

Toyo opened an American factory. I've never been a fan of the STT's, softer compounds, thinner sidewalls. But i have to agree with the dirtman... why do you care what people think about your tires?

 

They were on the top 2 of my list next to Toyo and the price was a big determining factor. They were far more expensive than the Toyos in a 37". So guess which one I bought?

 

I love me some STT's - I've never been one to jump on board because everyone else does.

You won't find much negative on them and a lot of jeepers love their tires under the Mickey Thompson brand.

Some people complain that they chunk on rocks, living in Louisiana I don't expect to spend a lot of time on the rocks.

They also don't have a deal with a auto manufacturer so they don't have that captive audience to get the tire on the street.

If you like'm buy'em

 

I found 33s (285/75/16) at a discount at easy-tire.com for $188 per and had them shipped to a local installer. Not sure if the sale is still on but I got mineearlier this month.

Edit - Just checked they are up to 236 per, still a $20 discount from MSRP

 

treaddepot.com has a $75 rebate going on for Cooper tires. Usually can get STT's in the mid-to-high $200 range depending on size

 

A couple things....first to the two posters who are worried why I am worried about if people like my tires, I dont run the STTs currently, I have KM2's.

I had the STT's a while back, this was just a matter of curiosity as I did really like the STT's & wondered why they werent often brought into the conversation w/ the KM2's MTRK's etc.

And yes can find the STT cheaper then the KM's, Nitto's & MTRKs...I believe tread depot has some 37's for 315 a tire.
