ok so i been set on the nitto mud grapplers in a 35x12.50-18 but after much thought im on the road way too much for those tires. next in line are the Hankook dynapro M/T or the Cooper STT. im tired of reading reviews on the manufacturers sites and want some real thoughts. how are they on road, off road, in rain?

I just got into a set of the Hankooks...they are awfully quite for an MT...only been in the mud once and they did well (lugs cleared themselves well, just dont let the mud dry in between the sidewall lugs...I scrubbed those b!tches for ever)....and the best part...they have been champs in the rain, which was my biggest concern (we get tons in Houston). Obviously I cant give you any input on longevity yet, but so far I dig em.

no complaints here about my hankook m/t. ride extremely well for how aggressive they are. ive only had them for a couple months now, so still not certain about the wear. ive heard with a steady rotation youll get very good mileage out of them as well.

I think either way Cooper or Hankook you won't be disappointed!!! I have a set of the Cooper S/T's and love em, if it weren't for the deal I got on them I was probably on my way to purchasing the Hankooks.......

I can't vouch for the Hankoooks, but I can about the Cooper STTs. So far, it's the best tire I've ever purchased. Like you I had concerns in the rain/snow/ice and running a M/T tire. With the Coopers, those aren't a problem. The siping on the tires help tremendously in fowl weather. Also, road noise is almost equal to the BFG A/Ts I had on mine previously. Wear wise, I've run close to 5,500 miles on mine so far with no signs of wear. I hope to get close to 40k out of these tires because they're not that cheap.

If I had to buy another set of M/T tires tomorrow, I would, without a doubt, go buy the STTs again.

Hope that helps some. :cheers:
