Mood: Pole Line Road postponed due to injury

I ran them for about 2 months, but I could not handle the rough ride and noise level. After blowing a sidewall, I went back to the Interco TrXus MT. These tires ride like an All-Terrain, but grip the rocks and dirt like a Mud-Terrain. The sidewalls are sturdier than the BFGoodrich sidewall, and they cost less $$.

I put Cooper ATR's (different tire) on my truck and have been very disappointed. Chunking very bad on the dirt roads.. had to have one replaced after only 10K. Do the STT's show any sign of cuts or chunking.


No, I would never suggest a tire that had such a failure to you guys.

The Cooper Discoverer STT are very strong with a superior sidewall to BFG (from what they say)... I have had no flats or strange wear.

As I reported hear last June, they do require more air out to float on sand, 10 psi... compared to 15-20 psi on BFG Rugged Trail TAs... Perhaps due to the strong sidewall.

They do have a high noise level, not terrible as I have heard on some trucks, but louder than I like... They work awesome in the mud, however! Laguna Salada wet center and through the swamp to Shell Island (New Moon) without a problem!
