Discoveror ATR's... Yes warranteed... first one only cost me $10... but when 2 inch chuncks come out (dealer says its the rocks on my road) and I live more than half the year in Abreojos I don't want the hastle. I think that Cooper uses real hard rubber to get the mileage on their tires... thus the problem on dirt roads.

Hey to each his own.... I am probably going back to the Bridgestone Revos

and hey its a jeep tire thread... not big trucks. Still got a set of True Tracs in the garage somewhere for one of my two jeeps (real jeeps 43MB and 52 CJ2a) no offense intended Wranglers

My Chief was the bigger body original 1975-1/2 model (when it was introduced to the Jeep line). The original Cherokee Chief had Jeep truck axels instead of the standard Wagoneer/Cherokee axels. The 401 V-8 was thirsty with the Quadra Trac full time four wheel drive... The quality was very poor with so many things breaking. When it was working, it was unstoppable off road, however. I sold it after two years and bought my first 4WD Subaru wagon (a 1977-1/2 model).

Nov. 1975 ...

Regarding the Coopers (STT), I have really enjoyed mine and have a report on my website (link below) but mine seem to be wearing rather quickly. No issues with chunking treads or hard rubber on mine. The durometer measures about the same as the Goodyear MTR.

To the original poster, I'd recommend the BFG All-terrain (T/A KO) for your friend's particular application, a great cross between off-road performance and pavement manners.
