    It's not horrible but still shitty with only around 5k miles on the tires and considering I paid 1800 for them

    Oh I know the feeling, seems a lot of people that have/had the Cooper MTPs aren't happy with them. You and I among them.

    I've had only a few chunks, only one big (size of a quarter) chunk out of 2 sets of my MTR's... Which included the rubicon, moab, and a lot of wheeling around the PNW :notsure:

    IMG_1715.jpg Asked the Wife to go take pic so here you go. Can't really tell since it's dark outside though but it's enough to make me upset

    Awww quarter sized? That's cute...:D

    Here's my MTPs

    This is a small sample of the tires back in April, and not even close to how bad they were when I pulled them off last week.

    And the puncture

    I've got a video of the sidewall leaking for no apparent reason but youtube isn't uploading videos quick enough right now. :annoyed:

    That's what mine was getting like. I'm afraid these will look the same way.

    Shit yeah mine weren't near that bad.

    Looks like too much skinny pedal. All of the chunks look to be in roughly the same spot on each tread block.

    My MTR's look like that too, but I still love them. They hook up great, I've pulled 5 or 6 nails out of them and have only needed a plug once. If they weren't 6 trillion dollars I'd buy another set

    None.

    Hey man I love your setup! Also love that you spent some time in Colorado. I live close to Sleep Off Road and he did my suspension on my Tacoma. I have a question, do you still enjoy this setup with the rooftop tent under the Softopper? I'm about to do the same thing but does it get annoying that the zippers don't close? Also, where do I get those bed rails? I can't find them on your link. Thanks man!
