    Anybody run these tires? Do you like them for off road? I saw a really positive review for them here
    http://expeditionportal.com/where-the-rubber-meets-the-road/

    This is my daily driver, but I do plan on doing some Uwharrie trails this summer. So basically, I know they are a great road tire, but are they a legit off road tire?

    I feel like @Sandman614 is the local Cooper rep. He is the reason why I got my Coops.

    I just bought a set for my Tacoma but haven't put them on yet but I had them on my previous truck which was a 2002 f150 and I would say they were great in my experience. I don't do any crazy trails or flexing stuff but for dirtroads in the mountains, I would say they do really good for being an all terrain tire

    Lol search much. Tons of treads on them. I love em, recommend them or any of the more aggressive Cooper's. I ran URE in the turtle shit clay mud on em, open-open diffs, not recommended but they'll do it. I run Cooper ST Maxx now and they are quieter and great!

    It was a tossup between these and Toyo AT-II extremes...I went Toyo and glad I did. The Toyo is heavy, but excellent on and off road!

    I have had 2 sets of Coopers. The AT3's on my 1st gen and the ATP's on my 2nd Gen. Nothing but vibes from both. I am fixen to return the ATP's and get something else. I had Hankook Dyna pros also and they were smooth as glass. Noisey but smooth.

    I have them. I'd recommend and get them again in the future. Great traction on wet roads, wet grass, dirt and mud.

    I got Load C 265/75R16, they're great in snow and the few times ive had them in mud they self clean pretty well. They do pick up gravel/ rocks quite a bit and fling them off around 50mph when getting on the highway I've noticed.
