Cooper Discovery SST

[stagger_lee]

Thats a good idea. Keep my mpg up with the stockers and save rubber on the swampers. Are dealers pretty reasonable when it comes to resale of takeoffs?

[stagger_lee]

Nice.

When all 5 of my tires got vandalized (stabbed) the dealer sold me 5 brand new tires on brand new crome rims m & b for $1200!

Gotta say I luv my SST's, had them on since late March 07 and have about 18k miles on them. Seem to be wearing as expected, I'd guess I'll get around 35-40K on them by end of next year and be ready for a new set of shoes. Price was right around $900 for 5 M&B with free rotations for life of tires. I get them rotated about every 8000 miles. BTW they total change the attitude of the truck... BADAZZZZ....

[stagger_lee]

nice. No doubt in my mind now these are a quality tires.

Where can I find a good price for these online? All I seem to find are the STT's, is that an old tread pattern or something?

[stagger_lee]

No those are the ones. I f-ed up when I named the thread (sausage fingers). I see them on ebay every now and then for decent prices on 4, roughly $700-$750 but then you figure shipping and then mounting and balancing. Not soo great. I have a couple mom and pop tire stores in my area that usually have pretty good prices, if have any of those, hit them up. Otherwise price check everywhere and see who gives you the best service. Ease of sale and installment has a lot to do with it for me. I pay more for good customer service.

dude stagger, can your friend drop ship? cuz i want that hookup too

[stagger_lee]

Basically he is not charging me the mounting and balancing. What do you think that would cost to ship? Figure, what, maybe 150$? Cost of tires, Palletize it, shrink wrap and shipping all together, would probably end up costing you about the same as it would if you bought locally. Sometimes these ebay tire stores will offer free shipping. I have seen a few that are decent deals. Although I'll hit him up and see what he thinks and let you know.

[wannabeH3]

hell yeah! woodinville washington 98072 i got my own hookup for mount and balance out here! maybe you can put together a group buy!

[stagger_lee]

We'll really just have to make sure it will be worth it to you. I'll see him this weekend, camping in San Jacinto Mountains, and I'll let you know.

Pro: Coopers are made in USA

Con: Coopers were part of large recall in 2002 because of poor quality (read-people getting killed on 'em!)

[stagger_lee]

Wow. Thats scary. Did you have a link to more info on that?

On the other hand, recent recall apparently did not involve known fatalities but did involve Discovery S/T: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11328815/

there is an article in the Sept07 Four Wheeler about Cooper STT's; they give them good rating, the subtitle reads " A grippy tread that works well in mud, rocks and snow".

..I'm myself out for set of tires too, so I bought the magazine because this issue has large TireTest section. I'm undecided so far what to get. I've been out of town (and away from my H3) for 3+ weeks, just got back home and so I'll start looking for tires again.
