Show off your Cooper ST Maxx

Man I think I need to do the chalk test or something, I think my tires are all at like 40 psi or something... my be a little much for my little 1st gen.

 

I can't run mine any higher than like 35, the ride is way too stiff any higher. 32-33 is perfect for me.

 

Maybe it’ll help my ride out some ha

 

here are my ST-Maxx..... 255-80R17. I got them two months ago. I love them. Probably a bit thin for most tastes but this is the look I love. I have no problem with pull left/right... they drive awesome.

 

I'm REALLY tempted to get these. Unlike most 255's, these don't look like pizza cutters. I have these in 285's on an older set of rims, and they performed very well.

 

Do it, I'll buy these as long as Cooper makes them!

 

What kind wheels are those?

 

I was curious also. Seems they are 17x7 +15. Not sure what model they normally come with.

Edit: I think they are 4Runner wheels

 

Dooiett. I went from 255/80/17 to 255/80/17 to 285/75/17. Really don’t ever plan on getting a different tire tho.. Ask @Nimble9 how it is going from 285 to 255s, he’s got first hand experience

 

I went from 305/60R18 Terra Grapplers to 285/75R16 Maxx's. I just put on a set of 285/70R17 Grappler G2's. They don't really feel much different than the old 305s. The only thing I like about the G2's is that they offer a slightly softer ride over the Maxx.

I haven't experienced the pulling or squishy feeling with my 285 Maxx's. Is the more likely to happen with 255's?

 

I went from 33x12.5x17 Cooper STT MT's to the 255/80/17. What a difference! Better MPG, better Street-ability, much more quiet as well.

 

They are 4 Runner wheels. I think around 2011ish. I got them off Craigslist for $325. I really like the brushed look although they would be awesome if the were smokers.

I agree. I went from 285/70R17 to 255/80R17 and immediately noticed a huge difference for the positive.... the truck felt more responsive and steered easier.

 

Thanks! Any rub with those tires?

 

My next set is probably pizza cutters. Currently on 275/70/17s

I took care of rub when I went from stock to 285. I had to remove the mud flaps and cut away a small amount of the inner wheel well plastic (area near the fog lights). Going to the 255 did not make things worse.... I would bet I could put the mud flaps back on. (Note I have a 2.5 lift).

 

I'm about to purchase a set of 255/85/16 ST Maxx's for my 2017 DCLB off road- stock suspension and rims. I've been searching and reading loads of posts/threads, and it sounds like there are some folks that have also tossed 255/85/16 ST Maxx's on their 3rd gen off roads and have had little to no rubbing. I'm not afraid to do some massaging or even a CMC, if necessary, but I'd like to know as much up front before I purchase the tires.

Sooooo, who's running the 255/85/16 ST maxx's on their 3rd gen? Any rubbing? Have you done any mods to make them fit? Pics are also great.

 

There is a thread in the 3rd gen forum for this topic. The consensus is that they won’t rub at all if you are on stock suspension.
