Cooper Discovery SST
 

I found what a believe to be a pretty good deal on these tires in my area through a buddy's shop. $750 for 4 315's, mounted and balanced. Obviously I will be getting a fifth tire ($850 m&b, out the door), but I wanted to find out if anybody is familiar or had experience using them on any rig. They look a lot like the Toyos as far as tread pattern. I dont know if they are a cheap version of the Toyos? Softer rubber maybe? Not as durable? I haven't seen them really until this weekend. Thanks for any input all! :beerchug:

I would do the Nitto for a few dollars more. make sure they are tripple ply and speed rated. I looked and can't find anything wrong with them. White letters suck

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

haha white letters. You can flip them around so you see the black letters only. My brother has the Nitto AT and those are nice, but I want a MT and I am not particular to the way the Nittos MT look as far as the tread pattern. Not to take away from performance at all. I know thats shallow, but hey Im crazy. I like more of a standard tread pattern, BFGs, Toyos, and the Yoko Geolander MTs. I would even go out on a limb and say I love the looks of Super Swampers, but they are too outrageous for a daily driven vehicle. :beerchug:

I cant find anything negative either, thats why I was looking for personal experience.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I don't have personal experience with the discoverys, yet. They are my choice when I get 35's. They have siping which is a must in Oregon, and have tough sidewalls.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

when i was purchasing 315s the discovery were one of the choices i was going with. the only reason i went with the toyos because i like the outer sidewall pattern, looked a bit more agressive. i could not find anything wrong with them as i looked around. I do not know if they are sipped as the toyos are, but thats not a deal breaker for me.

in my opinion if you get a good deal, i dont know what a good deal would be, it will not be a bad choice at all.

hopefully someone with first hand experience will let you know. do a search of teh forum. i beleive some on here have them and i beleive they have said something about them in teh past.

good luck.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

The Nittos suck for an all-around tire. :twak:

Toyos > all :D ;) But the Coopers are a good alternative for a mix of off-road performance and on-road manners.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

all in the mind of the purchaser.....do you like the look, the ride, the service, was the expierence a good one....sounds like you got a good deal..

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I have the Cooper STT and love them. Aggresive sidewall, Armortek, GREAT off road.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

Ditto. Best tire I have ever owned. And, yes, they have 3-ply sidewalls:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

Thats what I am looking for. Thanks guys! :beerchug:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I have the coopers too, I love them....Do not hesitate to get them. Quiet for an MT on the highway, ok in the rain. Great in the mud and snow. They make the truck look as it should...mean. They are great in the mud and snow and I have thanked god I got them in many situations. The price you got sounds very good. Mine for the five M&B were just over $1000 here in Philly.

Awesome! Thanks!:beerchug:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

Thanks
Nothing is too aggresive! it's a HUMMER!

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

yeah you know I almost bought a set of super swamper just for the fact that they are soo outrageous, and no one on here is running them, but then I would have to buy new tires every 10k miles. :giggling:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

and your point?

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

Im on the fence, dick. :giggling: :beerchug:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I love that sound man. Everybody turns to see what the hell that noise is. I had them on my scout, so I am very familiar with it.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I have the coopers as well. Great tire. Excellent in mud and on rocks, and not too loud on the road. Nittos are all show and no go IMO.

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

These tires rock!!! I've had them on for a couple of months and I love them.
DO IT, DO IT!!!:beerchug:

Re: Cooper Discovery SST
 

I would love to pick up a an extra set of rims w/ TPS', but Im in California. Freight would be ridiculous. :beerchug:
