New Cooper ST Maxx

Could it be that you were a little heavy on the throttle with that first tank, since you were focused on your new tires and testing them out?

Has the weather been particularly bad the past 2 months? It is the middle of winter, and you said you had 8 inches of snow

 

The tires and the lift. Truck is a lot taller than I was expecting. Picture doesn't do it justice. Looks bad ass in person.

 

just wondering what psi everyone is running these at? i have mine at 35 psi

 

I'm currently at 32psi but I'm gunna try and find the time to do the chalk test this weekend.

 

ya i dont have a place to do it so please post it up once you find what it is

 

Will do.

 

Looks awesome! I like the 265/75, it's a good looking, realistic tire size. I only have 1.5-2" lift, but I can see how well it fills out your 3" lift.

The tire itself looks like it will shed small rocks and mud from its lugs well. The sipping isn't as abundant as the Duratrac, but any sipping is better than no sipping. I wonder how it will be on wet pavement.

 

it handles great on wet roads, the 2nd week i got the tires we got 12 inchs in 4 days and it handled very well

 

Wow dude. They look really good. Makes your truck will more mean looking.

 

If you guys hit any mud or snow and get any pics or vids, do share. The only videos I can find of this tire are the cooper propaganda *cough* ....er.... I mean... marketing.... videos, on youtube.

 

Are you planning on going to the Ocala meet? If that's even still happening? Depending on when it is I'm going to try to make it so you would be able to see them in person

 

I have duratracs and these might be my next tire. I like them better on paper because of the tougher sidewall. The down side would be the heavier weight. Seems like a great all around tire like the duratrac that might be a bit tougher. Please let us know how they perform in the sand, most of my ofr roading is done on PINS where there's a a lot of soft sand and debris from the gulf. The duratracs do great on the sand only aired down to 20psi, but the sidewall concerns me.

 

Ya, I actually had those tires put on a few days before I put the lift on. And they seemed to fit just fine.

 

I hit some mud yesturday going fishing. I'm planning on going again this afternoon. I'll try and get some video

 

I didn't see the thread yet. Thanks for bringing it to my attention ill check it out!

 

went up to tahoe on friday and they handled great in the snow and my mpg was about 18 at the higher elevation.

 

Just another update, I took my truck with the new Coopers on the freeway to go home for the weekend. My gas mileage went back up (17) to what I was running before I switched tires. Just seems like the stop and go around town is what really drops the MPG. Also while I was home I did a little 4 wheeling in the sand,(beautiful thing about SO. Utah is your an hour drive from sand and snow wherever you live) did really well and I didnt have to drop psi (I run 35 psi to keep that psi light off). Just note that again because these are heavier tires your MPG basically drops and you lose a little power as well. I drive a manual so a slight loss in power actually has provided a little smoother drive, allows a little more forgiveness when releasing the clutch. Im still absolutely loving these tires and highly recommend.

 

Ya I believe larger tires have a larger flywheel effect.

 

Whats your wheel specs on those shoes....?!!!
