Pro Comp Extreme All Terrains VS.......

[THorn]

Hey guys, I am sure that i am not the only one who has spent hours (hopefully while working) searching threads trying to determine what tire to buy next. I have gone around and around and changed my mind more then a few times.



Currently i have Cooper STTs. I have NO complaint what so ever, other then road noise. With rotation at 5K i have squeezed almost 50K out of them.



I am looking to go up to a 35" tire, with less road noise. I pull gravity wagons all year long in and out of fields, as well as field hunting in the fall. So an all terrain tire is probably my best bet.



I have narrowed my search down to a few tires.



35X12. 50R17 Master Craft Courser C/T (seen pics on TDR and like what i see)

and

35X12. 50R17 Pro-Comp Extreme All Terrain (have not seen pics)



I know neither tire is E rated, which my Coopers arent either, and the heavy towing i do is only for short distances.



Does anyone have pics of the 35" Pro-comp extreme A/T on a 3rd gen, preferably new style aluminum 17" wheels?



Second, does anyone know often 4-wheel parts offers their buy 3 get one free deal? As of yesterday, Mastercraft's were $238 each mounted and balanced. As always, it'd be nice to save a few bucks!



Input and opinions welcome! Thanks!

I"m alittle leery of the Pro Comps. I resently had a blow out on my front driver side w/ a ProComp Mud Terrain 33/12. 50/17D that caused $2300. 00 damage. I don't think these tires have a heavy enough rating for our trucks.

That's a similiar experience I had with "D" rated Bridgestones on my '99. They were rated to 3305#/tire and mine were carrying a constant load of just 2075# when the right front blew causing a near fatal accident and damage of $3300 in 15 seconds. I also had lots of flats with those tires. Until it happens to you.....

The Pro Comps that I had were only rated to 2600 lbs..... learned my lesson with this one. I end up trying Hankook Dynapro MT's 35/12. 50/17E 10 ply with a 3525 lbs load rating. Hopefully these will hold up.
