NEW Tires!!!

Had these installed on Saturday morning, Cooper Discoverer S/T 35x12.50-17 Very pleased thus far. Much quieter than the ProComp Mud Terrains that I had. A bit narrower than those were, but doesn't hinder the handling much.

good lookin tires, now go get em dirty!

i had a set of coopers on my mazda, they were street, but still a great tire.. always hard to find the replacement i needed though.

That quarter is all I have left!!!

It ended up being around $900 when all was said and done- a shame for sure, that money could have bought me a nice set of coilovers!!

yeah, i blew out a sidewall on my coopers on my mazda, i had to ride around on the donut for 3 days while they shipped in my tire... i think it was only 90 bucks though....

i keep sticking ab in my tires to check my tread... i'm hoping they'll pass this year again so i postpone wheel/tire upgrade, which may sound weird, but i do have to buy a house this year.... eventually

I had two sets on an S-10 ZR2. I got 45K+ out of the first set. The second set had probably 30K on them when I traded it in on the Titan. I kept that set of wheels/tires though, and the tires are now on my Dad's YJ Wrangler. He has put another 10K on them and they still have about 30% of the treadlife left. Granted, the S-10 and Wrangler are much lighter vehicles and I'm sure that the weight of our Titans will have some effect on treadwear. The place I bought them said I should expect at least 40K out of them.

They also told me that the Discoverer STT's have been getting less than half the miles that these ones are.

Nice tires. Those are real truck tires. 10 ply LT's.

I'm running Cooper Discovery ATR's in stock size -- 285-70-17's. The ATR's have a slightly less aggressive tread pattern but are otherwise pretty much identical -- maybe a bit more load capacity than yours (I tow a heavy trailer).

I think you will like those tires. Cooper does not get that much press, but is very serious about truck tires. You see then in a lot of commercial HD situation where durability and long tread life are as important as traction.
