Show off your Cooper ST Maxx

I had KO2s before and now have the ST Maxx. To me the Maxx ride a lot softer, I much prefer them over the KO2s.

 

I 2nd that

 

How's your MPG looking along with handling? Thinking about pulling the trigger on these. Also rub? We've got like the same set up minus I've got a Pelfrey Bumper on

 

Ordered my 255/80/17, should be here Friday

 

I lost about 1mpg from the 265/75 I had on before. Not a big difference in feel except they are way quieter. So far they clear everything, the geometry of the lca has the wheel as far forward as possible. I'll find out about any clearance issues after next week. Nothing but work till then no chance to get out.

 

Cause I like to hoe out my truck when I get the chance.

 

Approaching 9,000 miles on my set of 255/80R17s. So far holding up great lots of on road driving and towing and they've shrugged it all off. Probably only lost 1-2/32 of an inch so they are wearing great. Noise has picked up but not to bad, I have noticed with really hard turning (like aggressive pulling onto a road a head of traffic) is the only time I notice the tall sidewall having an issue and the truck kind of still going in a straight line. Probably next set i'll go with is the 255/75R17s just to go slightly lower and get a little more umph back for towing

 

how are these tires with balancing and wearing?
anyone having issues in these areas?
i've read of other brands that just dont balance right

 

I had to get two re-balanced. Not sure if I lost a weight but when I did my first rotation got a shimmy in the wheel. Re-balanced them and all has been well.

mine are wearing nice and even it looks like, when I do a depth gage check its for the most parts all the same across the width. outside edge is getting a little chewed up from sharp cornering and curbs but nothing to be concerned.

overall I'm very happy with them. Some tire places will give you grief on them depending on the size. When I got them re-balanced guy tried to say its a nature for a taller more aggressive tire to sometimes have an issue. Had to force them to re-balance them just about and found out it was massively off

 

Tire held up great. Cleaned it up and remounted it good as new

 

Just got my 255/80/17 mounted today

 

285/75R17 mounted and installed yesterday. Love them so far.

 

Can I get a pic from straight head on?

What are specs on your wheels and/or spacers?

 

255/85/R16

 

I will take a few pictures head on tomorrow and post them. Just got back from NH and it's getting dark and it's pretty nasty out with wind and rain. The wheels are Pro Comp Series 7031 17" with Spidertrax 1.25" spacers in the front.

 

did this happen when airing down?

 

I aired down that morning then there was a tree root under the mud I didn't see and a bunch of skinny pedal

Unfortunate to see a hidden tree stump push out the bead but amazing to see the tire rag dolled trying to complete the water crossing and hearing once home @Wheelspinner washed out the tire, reset the bead and was good to go.
