Hey guys, one of my clients owns a Tire Shop
and looked at my rig today and suggested a Cooper tire. I don't really go off road but have a 3" OME lift and like the ride. He said it is an AT tire and I am going Monday to take a look. He suggests something that will take my stock 17" rims and the stock tires to a higher level. Something about 2 to 3" beefier! Is that a word??????? Anyway, what do you guys think about Cooper???

Go for it! 33" will look good on factory wheels. I put the cepek's on mine.

Just Got Some New Shoes Today!
That's what I decided to go with. Here are some pictures to help with your decision.

Re: Hey guys, one of my clients owns a Tire Shop
I'm running the Cooper STT Mud Terrain tires. I like them. They look great and work well on and off road. If you live where you'll be driving on snow covered roads you will want to switch to a different tire in winter. They may be good in deep snow - I haven't tried - but they have poor traction compared to the stock Dunlops on slick roads.

I really don't think Kim is going to have to worry about snow covered roads anytime soon.
It's barely mid-April and hotter than hell already...right Kim?

Cooper is a respected brand. I would think you would be pleased!

Have not had any problems yet. Is there something I need to know?
