Show off your Cooper ST Maxx

Yep. Also taking into account the addition of a camper shell.

 

Couple of questions...if I get the 255/85/16, will they fit on a 16x8 rim with 4.5 backspacing and 0 offset? And does this tire do well in snowy/icy conditions? Thanks

 

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

 

In my opinion they look best when they are kicked out a little farther because they are skinny. Not sure how much a 4.5bs rim will push it out on a second gen though. It will probably look good.

 

Gonna throw my hat in the ring. Just ordered mine in 265/75/16. 1038 - 75 rebate - 60 CC rebate. Changing from Cooper ATP in the same size.

 

what would you recommend? do I need some offset and less backspacing?

 

Its just depends what you want it to look like. What rims where you looking at?

 

I was looking at the FN wheels, but originally the plan was the 16x8 wheel...with the lack of 255-85-16 tires, i ended up with 255 80 17 . I don't really care what it looks like, I want max performance....although if it looked cool thats an added bonus!

 

Well you can look at this thread. If you don't care what it looks like then 4.5bs would be fine.

I guess what I'm asking is there a benefit to having the tires stick out a little further? and would that be achieved with less backspacing / more offset?

 

Less backspacing has the tires out more. It helps clear wider tires but I don't think it adds any advantage or benefits.

 

Possibly a slight balance improvement in terms of stance? Especially on lifted trucks.

 

fyi... Discount Tire Direct on Ebay has their every so often sale going on right now- $100 off $400. just pulled the trigger on 4 Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx 255/80/17's for $688 out the door. Broke it up into 2 separate orders to get $100 off each pair. Hope some of you can jump on this!

 

Bump. Great deal!

 

Dammit!! I'm gonna see if they'll give me some credit back to match that deal.
How much are you looking at fully installed?

 

Well maybe not as bad as I thought for just tires, eBay DTD $692, labor day Sale DT $748

 

I've got a set in 255/85r16 coming the end of the week or next week. I didn't get them through DT, but I am getting mine out the door, tax, with lifetime rotation and balance for $790. I've been waiting 4 months for them to come in, so I felt like that was a pretty good deal.

 

Good stuff boys, glad to see others getting good prices on these great tires!!

 

My first impressions from my short drive home. OMFG I love em! What pressure are y'all running specifically 265/75/16 with bumper and armor?

 

37front 35 rear is what I've been running with stock bumpers and 4 cylinder..
