I recommend just going to a dealer where you can look at several tires side by side in person and make your decision from that. Thats what I did, I put the Nitto, Toyo, and Cooper side by side at discount tire and made my decision. Most tires look better in person as opposed to looking at them on the net.
raptor-i forgot where you said how much you paid and who to talk to and which discount tire it was. you think they will honor that price if they have to ship? thanks man

I bought them at discount tire in Charlotte NC, the store is on Dave Lyle Blvd. The guy I talked to is named Joe. As to your question about the price and shipping, I dont know, you will have to check with them on that. I told Joe that I was interested in the Cooper and the original price was higher. I started inquiring about Nitto's and Toyo's and he kept telling me I should go with the Coopers. I said I wasnt sure and thats when he started dealing. He lowered the price 2 times before I said I would go with the Coopers. Its all about wheelin and dealin, get everything that you can out of these guys. Good luck!

Another thing to consider is that Cooper actually manufacturers the Pro Comp, Mickey THompson and **** Cepek line of tires. So hopefully the quality is similar.

Thanx guys

I called a lot of tire places and dealt with a lot of jerks basically telling me "35's wont fit", "mud terrains will kill your gas mileage", "MT's will wear out fast on the road". They all were really just negative in general. Then I had one company quote me $1700 for a set of four 33" Toyo mud terrains. Does anyone know of any good tire prices online? Thanks for all the help!

Ohh and I only smoke the best! haha

**** Cepeks are great. Very low road noise, Great off road, Great looks, and are not rough riding at all.

I second the coopers. They are a great tire and price is OUTSTANDING. I've read up on them and they have rated out really well....
