Default 35 cooper stt

I am about to install 35x12.5x17 cooper stts. What is your opinion/experience with this tire. The jk is a daily driver, with a lot of offroad use, basically in deep or thick mud and some snow. No rocks at all here in Greece.

My friend had them on a wj GC. He said they ran really good off road. They were pretty good at flinging mud. He also said the only down fall was the on road rain performance. So if its wet go a little slower and start braking earlier.

They are a strong aggressive looking tire with excellent offroad traction. Have you looked at the Hankook Dynapro MT yet ? I have not had the opportunity to try them in the mud yet, but they easily out perform the STT's in the snow and clear out very quickly. Either way, you will be getting a good tire.

I have the cooper STT 37/12.50/17 they are good around tires. I have never had a problem in the rain either, They are good on the rocks, They look like they would be good in mud but i hate mud so they don't see mud often. And not real loud on the road like some mud tires.

went from a set of 33" Duratracs to these and the difference was definitely noticable on the trail. Very impressed so far with mud and snow. I've read and heard that they do chunk a bit on the rocks, but what tire wont. Havent seen it first hand on mine yet, but I've only been out with them a handful of times since they've been on the Jeep.

I have 33x12.50x15 STTs and love them so far. Only have about 1,000 miles on them. Fairly quiet on the street for an aggressive mud tire. Only had them in the mud once, and they did great! Good traction and clean well. No snow or rock experience with them yet.

I also give the STT a positive recommendation. It may not be important to someone in Greece, but another good thing is they are made in USA!
