Dick Cepek EXP, made by Cooper.

Are these e rated? I went with SL rated wildpeaks Only 500 miles on them but i like them so far

 

They are an E load tire, but not that heavy.

 

I’ve taken a big interest in these because I want to jump to 35s. they’re a 2ply but I think it’ll be fine and they aren’t that expensive either.

 

I really like your bedrack with the angled cover. Sweet set up

 

50lbs isn’t bad for an E.

KO2 is 54 and AT3W is 55.

 

I put mine to the test a while ago, only aired down to 18psi and they did very well. About 3k miles on them and I love em. I also have a review thread for those interested

 

Link to the review?

Initial impression;
Noise - Very quiet tire, equivalent to the St Maxx.

Ride - Very compliant and controlled, big improvement over the St Maxx and KO2'S.
The reduction in weight is noticable.

I will update when I get more miles on them and get them off road. Very impressed so far!

 

No action shots, but there on the truck.

 

What kinda rack is that? It looks pretty badass, like nothing Ive seen before. Also, did it come with that tarp? Looks like you could probably sleep in it just like that.

 

How much do they weigh?

50lbs, E Load.

 

Update mike?

 

I have about 10,000 miles on them and they are holding up great.
I've had them in some light snow conditions and they did fine, definitely on par with my old ST Maxx.
I had them in deep sloppy mud and they cleaned out easily and had better traction than the ST Maxx.
I would rate them just below the ST Maxx in wet traction. Hydroplaning resistance is the same.
Overall I am totally impressed with them and highly recommend them.

 

Same. Can’t compare to st maxx as I’ve never ran them, but they’re excellent in mud. No deep snow experience here just some light stuff, about an inch worth. They performed as expected, would only spin if I wanted them too. very happy with them and have roughly 9-10k miles on them. They’re wearing great thus far.

 

Wanted to add my experiences with this tire in 265/75r16. At about 15k on these tires. I live in the mtns of CO so lots of snow in the winter. I made it to late January with these before ever feeling like I needed my snow tires, and it was only for more confidence on icy roads. Deep snow, wet, sand, dry hardpack, everything has been good with these tires. Wear is even all around

Only complains and reasons why I will try something else next time...

They are getting a bit loud and I can feel the lugs at lower speeds, more of a personal issue...

They do seem to pull to the right... once I put the winters on this went away so I have no other thing to blame it on than tires. Not a huge deal and I have not done a crapton of mitigation like changing alingment, tire pressure, etc.

As noted above they are suprisingly lightweight for the aggressive tread and are stellar off-road, which is the only reason to by an aggressive tread like this.

 

About 10k on mine now, great tire. I went with them because they were a better price point and lighter than the Maxx.

 

Thanks for the feedback in snow and such. We didn’t get hardly any snow here in Ky this year. But we’re getting plenty of rain and they’re doing great! Also have noticed they seem to be just a touch louder now that they have about 15k on them. Like you they are wearing even and there is still a lot of tread left.
