2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Cooper Tires you thought?

[WestTN]

I drove the original Michelins 97,000 miles and they still didn't have any treadwear bars showing. I don't like hydroplaning, so I replaced them. o cupping or uneven wear. rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles and NEVER run under 60 psi.

I bought a set of DOMINATOR M/S (I think) 3 years ago. They are load range E and are made by Cooper. I got them from Discount Tire. I like them. They are holding up very well. -Jason

I have had good luck with the dicoverer at/r. before those I ran the discoverer at's. lasted about 40k. I do occasionally haul heavy and never had any problems.

just my 2 cents. back in 2000 i purchased 4 new cooper mud terrains and in the next 3 months had gone through 6 warranty tires due to seperation(sidewall bubbles). I will never own a cooper again.

I have had the Michelins, changed at 55K. I have had BF Goodrich, lasted 15K (wore out) and have had Cooper tires the rest of all my trucks. Cooper Discovers here, always had good luck with them. Just bought a set of Starfires.

sorry to get off track, but how would shocks cause cupping on a solid axle vehicle?

well I have the two wheel drive so my suspension up front is independent

it will still allow axle to "bounce" too much. causing high and low spots.

I have the ST/c and so far I have 35,000 miles on them. I haven't had any tire last this long on any truck I have had. The road to my place is pretty bad. The rocks are sharp and like to take chunks out of the rubber. The cut resistant rubber works in my experience.



My family has many vehicles that have coopers on them. We have always had good luck with them, that is why we keep getting them. This set should last me till fall. I will get another set of stc to replace them.

I had a set of the ST -C's on mine when I first bought it used. They were 285-D's and they were really good off road, wore like iron, but weren't much fun on icy roads. In deep snow they were excellent. I am currently running the equivalent of the AT's in the Dean brand, which is a store brand made by Cooper. These are 265 E's and they are wearing very well so far, and have been excellent both on and off road. Being narrower, the fuel mileage is better with them too.

Had the original michelins, 65k

Got some lovely Pro Comp Mud Terrains, on spare rims D rated, bald at 22k.

Pirelli scorpians, E rated, about 25k so far, they were fine, when I bought the 35 ft travel trailer in florida, I pulled it all the way back on them. I don't thing they will last as long as the Michelins did, they are between 50-60% tread gone. I put them on to haul long or heavy. Although I have two 1500 mile trips on the H2/BFG combo with my 18ft car hauler and a power wagon on top.

315 70 R17 BFG all terrains on alcoha H2 rims, 5k.
