Show off your Cooper ST Maxx

Looks great do you have a lift or leveling kit?

 

^^^^^^^

mine.....?

shown there with only 5100's on 3rd notch

recently added ARB bumper/winch......changed coils to

OME 886's & put 5100's on lowest setting

this pic is prior to 886's..rear is stock

 

So how's the ride with 886's on 5100's? I'm familiar with 885's and 887's. (Same spring rate, just a 5mm difference in length) 886's are a much stiffer rate spring. I'm told their higher rate will overwhelm the rebound dampening in 5100's, resulting in a bit of a jackhammer effect on rough roads.

 

I had these tires on my 80 series LC and constantly aired down to 10 psi on Toyota 80 series wheels and ran them like crazy on level 4 rock crawler trails in Arkansas and Mississippi. These tires wayyyy out performed my expectations and also went where a lot of KO2s couldnt. I daily drove the 80 and thrashed it pretty good in the rocks, and they hardly chunked until I had a ton of miles on them. I am tempted to go pro on my new tacoma, but will more than likely go back to the Maxx.

 

Oh yeah forgot to "show them off"

 

Badd Azz !

 

actually..........haven't had 'Gilbert' off the pavement with this set up yet

but....IIRC....my wheel well measurement is 37.75" now after bumper/winch/886's

bumper/winch sagged OE springs 1/2"

make sense ?

 

What size did you get? Remember these are E load so very stiff, make sure you chalk tests for proper tire pressure. Sometimes stiff in am when colder.

 

Just had mine mounted Friday. 255/75/17 C rated. I'm enjoying them so far and have put just over 150 miles of around town and interstate miles on them in rain and dry conditions including some mild mud. They are surprisingly quiet and smooth. The difference in handling between these and the lame tires they replaced is noticeable but not in a negative way. Picked em up from Discount Tire with both the Cooper Rebate as well as a 10% rebate from Discount Tire.

 

considering this size next time.... true 32s lol

 

285/75/16 finally mounted and broke in. Very nice tires.

 

And just think, the truck is still dirty af.

 

Just casted my vote. 285/75R16
They pull to the right so bad that I constantly have to pull the wheel to 11 o’clock. Okay maybe 11:30 depending on road crown but if I let go I’m going to hit the ditch in no time.
Swapping tires back to front doesn’t help. I’ve got probably 60k on them now with 5k rotations and I think it’s getting worse. No, alignment is not the problem. Tire wear is great also.

Edit: mandatory show off picture

 

Never thought I'd like the look of Fuel Vectors but damn those look sharp. The whole truck looks great.

 

How/where did you snag an extra 10% off at Discount?



I've been eyeing ST MAXX in 255/80/17 for more than a year now. Last year I would see them on Amazon for 160-185 per tire. Now everywhere I look this year is a flat $225. Did Cooper implement a new MAP policy?

I had a discount tire quote last year to match an amazon price of $173 a tire, was $12xx out the door after tax, mount, balance, certificates, etc. Now I'm looking at $1555 OTD and it's hard to swallow.

 

Promo from Discount Tire. I wasn't expecting it and when I checked out, the guy helping me told me about it. Started that day, not sure when it ends. I already got my card in the mail though.

 

The best price I was able to get on (4) 255/80r17 Maxx was $996 OTD. This included swapping TPMS from OR rims.

 

did that include certificates (if from DT?). My old 12xx was 5 tires with certificates. le sigh.

Hah! I wouldn't doubt it. only problem is, its still 200 more per 4 even after the rebate compared to last years prices. ughhhh

 

No certificates. So mine would be $926 with current rebate. Still not sure if I should wait for another deal. Been looking at the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/70r17.
