"Cooper is one of only two american-owned tire companies"

Thanks, they're 7. 50-16LT about 33" tall and super skinny, was going for a 1950's ish power waggon look but with higway rib, super smooth. Truck pics in readers rigs.

Cool! I use to always run 7. 50 16s on my 65 F250 and 7. 00 15s on my Willyswagon and LandRover. Michelins or Bridgestone flavors. I like the tall skinny tires especially for snow. In fact I was thinking about seeing if they were still available for my 97 dually -- until I came across the Ricksons.

I have been running 35" Pro comps on my truck since new. I have 50,000 + miles on the truck and I am on my 3rd set of tires. I thought most of the wear I was experiencing was from aggressive burnouts and just general goofing around. Then I put on a new set, towed a trailer on a 5000 mile trip and used up 50 % of the rear tread. I like the tire but it really isn't designed for a Heavy Duty use. If I didn't tow or abuse the tires I think they would last an acceptable milage for me. Plus I think for the size they are the best balancing tire I have purchased.

I haul trailers for a living and put nothing but Pro Comps on my trucks. They have always surpased thier 50,000 mile warranty. They are an awsome tire.

I have tried both the all terrains and the mud terrains. The mud terrains were 35"x12. 50s and lasted 54,000 miles while my all terrains that are currently on one of my trucks have over 56,000 miles on them and look to last another 5,000.

Just put on the Cooper 35-12. 50/17 ST's. Time will tell how they wear. Had some shakes until they were balanced on the Hunter Road Force balancer. All smooth now.



I wanted an American tire too, and I'm PO'd at Goodyear due to 50% failure rate on trailer tires, so Cooper got my business.

Trail dog, I agree the ricksons are bad to the bone, i couldn't have my wallet take the dirt nap for that long though plus i was worried about ride quality, these old W's allready ride like they have NO springs or shocks at all.

I have cooper discoverer S/T 305/70R16 on my truck, love 'em so far, 20k and counting, I do 700 miles/week
