Colorado B.S. Thread

What type of tire are you wanting,or what are you going to be doing and why these two brands are the questions.

 

I've always ran BFG All terrain but I'm thinking about Dick cepek fun country for the next round. Truck sees a lot of dirt roads due to work. But the all terrain doesn't clean out as well as I would like it to.

 

Have you looked at the cooper st maxx, or the more aggressive stt.


Edit: the st maxx is along the Same line as the dick cepek and BFG at. The stt is more like a duratrac.

 

Nope I'm open to others.... I'll check them out.

 

I'm a tire whore I like to try different ones out. It was between the cooper stt and duratrac last time. I went duratrac..

 

I have the AT's... never had a complaint other than on ice and thick mud... but I've heard GREAT things about the Goodyear Duratrack. the only negative I've heard is weak sidewalls when running low pressure... which I never do. probably going to be my next tire.

 

The diesel Tundra aren't going to break. So why train the techs for something they will never see?

STT is a mud terrain tire. Duratrac's are All Terrain's.

 

If you get Duratracs get the E rated ones. Side wall issues solved. The C rating ones blow.
I've got E's and they worked fine on the Gulches the other day. Aired them down to 20lbs and had no issues at all. Plenty of grip on the rocks, cleaned out nicely in the mud and snow on the trails, and in general are well behaved on pavement. Slightly louder than the original BFGs that were stock, but nothing that any level of noise in the cab can't drown out.

 

good to know! thanks... think I'm gonna get a set before Moab

 

Ill second this, read all the complaints about the sidewalls before I got mine (285 E's), and beat the shit out of them last year and never had an issue.

Edit: ^^^ Including Moab.

 

This, I've seen them aired down much lower.

Yes but the duratrac is an overly aggressie at and the STT is a not so aggressive MT. there are many different MT's that would make the stt look like an at tire. I was just giving him an idea of what it is like. The stt and the duratrac are both more aggressive than what he was wanting was the purpose for me saying that. Pushing him to look more at the st maxx.

 

Gramps, whats that i see on your profile

 

Depends and stuck together hard candy.

 

Yes. ..yes it would be

 

I check out both and I think the Coopers are more what I'm looking for. Thanks for you help.

 

this ^



from what i was told.... toyota is not focusing on diesel here in the states. the 4runner/tacoma will be a unibody before a tundy gets a diesel power plant

 

Got the E rated duratracs on mine as well. Felt they did really well last sunday.

 

x2 on the E rated tires. We run them at work on 1 ton truck through sagebrush and shale. Never had a problem.

The difference between the C and E is the number of plys in the tire. C has 4 and E has 11, big difference in protection.

 

I just installed cooper st/maxx last week. So far so good. Look great.

I will not ever run a mud tire on a daily driven rig again..( i had 35"km2 & 37" MT/R previously) I like that tire co. are offering an agressive A/T tire now. Its perfect for Colorado/Moab and unless your hardcore running INDY BV or something like that i dont think mud tires are really needed so these fill the bill.

 

Nooooooooooooooooooo . . . I don't like any of these words, especially "unibody"
