Show Off Your Cooper STT Pros

This set in 285/70r17 has 35K miles on in. They've done really well in every condition I've had a chance to try them.

 

Hellava rig there bro!

 

Great looking truck you got there sir. Very Very Clean

 

After 2 years on 265/75r16 load range C Goodyear Duratracs, I recently switched to 285/75r16 load range E Cooper STT Pro's. My initial reactions were how quiet the STT Pro's are compared to the Duratrac. Those Duratracs are what is considered a "hybrid" tread....in between an A/T and a M/T. The STT Pro is a full blown mud tire. By all theories, the Coopers SHOULD have been louder. Not so. Also, going from a "C" to and "E" rated tire, I was prepared for a rougher ride. Not the case. I had to run 35psi in the Goodyears for decent road handling. I run 29psi in the Coopers. The end result is a better, smoother ride. I now have close to 3000 miles on them. (Took a couple long road trips shortly after making the change) The good things I had to say about the STT Pro's are now GREAT comments. The more I get to know them, the more I like them. I've convinced 3 friends to go with 'em! Nothing too drastic yet, but they have been off road a couple times. 100% impressed!

 

Nice! Glad to hear this review. I have about 20,000 on mine and they are still going strong

2-1/2" of front lift, a CMC, and some minor trimming and they clear by a mile! I lost about 1-1/4mpg on the highway (from 265's, adjusted mileage for increased tire size) All my skepticism went right out the window! I'm very pleased!

 

Wow what a difference some new tires make. The stock highway tires were almost usless when I left the pavement. Today some 255/75r17 Cooper STT Pros were installed on some grey SEMA 4runner rims. I had to take them off road to pop their cherry and I have no complaints. They give the truck a completely different looks and dang, these SEMA rims look good! Right now ive only used about a third of a tank of gas since installing them and cant really tell what ive done to the mpg's. Here's a pic of beautiful central Texas.

 

Just hope on the band Wagon of stt pro. Test fit 1 Tire 295 70 17 it is touching the cab mount therefore ordered the relentless cmc plate some Cutting and welding will go next month

 

Considering getting these for my Taco. How are they in snow? My ST Maxx's are amazing in snow

 

They're alright for a mud terrain. ST Maxx's are certainly better in snow from what I've experienced.

 

sub
in a tossup between this tire in 285/75/16 and cooper stt pro 285/75/16. i was sold on the generals untill i found out the size i want doesnt come with the red lettering and is 5.6 lb heavier. also
cooper stt pro (285/75/16) general gabber x3 (285/75/16)
WEIGHT 66.6 61
DEPTH 1/32 19/32 18/32
LOAD RANGE E E
OVERALL TIRE DIAMETER 32.99 32.8
OVERALL SECTION WIDTH 11.2 11.3
MAX LOAD 3750 3750

Looks like i may be leaning towards the cooper...... any input???

 

I went with the Coopers over the General's because of weight and because they have more sipping for wet/snowy weather.

 

just got quotes
880 mounted and balanced for generals grabber x3 285/75/16
1156 mounted and balanced for cooper stt pro 285/75/16
THOUGHTS?

 

With almost $200 different. One should ask do u do a lot of offroad to justify $200.

 

I paid 806$ delivered to my door for some 255/75r17's. I dont recommend either option there but I dont know squat about General tires, so I wouldnt use em.

 

And they work like a charm! First real off road test. We went to Slade Kentucky (Near Natural Bridge State Park) on April 1st. Monsoon rains just before we hit the trails. VERY wet, slick, and a lot of standing water on a trail that isn't ordinarily that wet. We kept moving and didn't take a lot of pictures, but here is what I have. Ran 'em side by side with another Tacoma with KM2's and another with KO2's. None of us had any problems, but I did less spinning on the slick spots. They performed better than expected. 10 out of a possible 10!
