Cooper S/T -VS- Dick Cepek FC-II

I have narrowed the list of new tires down to two, what I am looking for is the most agressive A/T tire or the most road, daily driver, friendly M/T i can find. I have narrowed the list to either the

Cooper Discoverer S/T Cooper Tires - Discoverer S/T - On/Off-Road Tires

or

Dick Cepek Fun Country II Dick Cepek Radial F-C II

anyone want to argue strongly for or against either of these?

No personal experience, but the DC's look pretty cool.

Re: Cooper S/T -VS- Dick Cepek FC-II

we use the Cooper ST and TTs at work and the guys love 'em. They are on trucks that spend the majority of their time off road on fire roads, and carrying relatively heavy loads such as fire pumpers and such. They are relatively quiet on pavement and seem to wear quite well. The Cooper TTs will be the ones I will go with as soon as I wear out the stock tires.
Unfortunately I do not have any experience with the DC, but they do have a great reputation.
I think it will come down to cost. Pick the one that looks best to you and won't tear the heart out of our wallet. You can't go wrong with either tire.
Good luck and post some pics once you get 'em mounted.

Re: Cooper S/T -VS- Dick Cepek FC-II

I'm runnning the Dick Cepeks 33x11.5 on 16 inch rims and love them. I recomend them to anyone who's looking for an aggresive AT tire . They have a low hum to them run great on the road and self clean very well . Plus they look great.
