Beautiful truck.

It's a 50/50 truck
Looks good at fifty feet or fifty miles an hour

 

[farmer steve]

dis tread is tireing

It has gone a little flat.

Maybe we should talk about oil to "balance" it out.

Mabe i got lucky?

I'm running my spare already. It was the same crappy Goodyear. Busted one so bad it couldn't be plugged at 3500 miles on the truck back in December or January. Last 4 sets I've run were 3 Cooper and 1 firestone transforce AT. 42-49k on each set. I bought a new set of STT right before I ended up trading the truck. 5k miles and they were great off road.

Once this thread gains some traction, I'm sure others will follow suit

The ol leaky tire.... lol

 

[tree monkey]

don't blow up your tires when you have the hiccups, you'll get bumps in your tires.

Pfft. At 20% tread depth they're better on road snow than brand new Cooper AT3's. Btdt

Yuck.

Pickup tires, I’m currently really liking Cooper. Their 10 ply AT/S is a decent all-round tire, and the ST-max is hard to beat for a on/off road tire. I’ve worn out a couple sets of each.

Car tires, I hardly know anymore. We have been running Bridgestone Driveguards on the minivan, and they perform well, but don’t last as long as i would like.

Cooper STTs.

I run Nitto Terra Graplers on my Toyota Land Cruiser. On my third set now, and they average 60,000 miles of usable tread for me. They work very good overall for mild off-roading, snow, ice, and are very quiet on the highway for a medium-level off-road tire. They track well and stay balanced. This thing weighs 5,500+, so it’s no flyweight.

By the way, I love these Land cruisers, as I have 185,000 on this one and it still feels perfect; best quality vehicles I have ever owned. Knock on wood, never a single thing gone bad in 185,000 miles......

I’m gonna need pictures.

2006 F150 Reg cab Fx4 with 2” level.295/70-18 Cooper stt pro.
Less than 2,000 miles since put on.

I like them so far. Bit noisy from 25-40,but not terrible. Not much snow down here, it is Georgia after all.

Thank You.

When I was still running 1/2ton Chevys, I’d got 65-70k mi out of a set.

BFGs can GTFO.

Yous drive a lot and stuff.



I would never have imagined you rolling in something like that.

Before cooper sold out and went to China or Japan, they were really good tires

I didn’t realize they sold out.

The sets I ran were U.S. tires.

Cooper did not sell out , they tried to sell to a company out of India in 2013 but the deal fell through they did buy 51% of a Chinese tire company in 2005 ( the Indian company backed out of the deal because of Coopers lack of control of this Chinese tire company ) . If they’ve been sold since then I haven’t heard about it

When I looked this up the other day there was no word on the selling out.

I have a friend that works for Cooper If they had been bought he would have surely whined about it to me by now
