Opinions being solicited.
I am torn between the Cooper STT in 275/70-18 and the new Goodyear Duratrac in 295/65-18. I do mostly road driving, but when off-road I want the extra grip provided over the ATs I have now. The Duratrac is a 10 ply, which is heavier than I want, but I like the tread pattern. The cooper is a little more aggressive, but is supposed to be a pretty good wearing tire.
Cooper is 33.34 tall and 11 wide. Duratrac is 33.1 tall and 11.8 wide. It's going on a 2004 FX4 with 2 inch AS leveling kit and on American Racing Mace wheels with 5 3/8 inch backspacing. (+18mm offset).

 

The DuraTrac is a lot more expensive tire.
I was quoted $357/tire from a local Goodyear store.
I think it looks better then the STT, but I like the Cooper Zeon LTZ better then the DuraTrac.
My 2 cents.

 

I think that size Cooper ST is a 10 ply as well. Both are a great looking tire though.

 

$357? Sam's sells it for $277. The local Goodyear dealer quoted me $284. If you want, I'll buy some here and sell them for $325.
The STT was quoted to me for $265, so the price difference isn't too much of a factor.

 

I wish they were that inexpensive here.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to decline.

 

I made my decision. It's now wearing Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ tires.
Can you not post pictures that are in the forum gallery? Or do they have to be posted using something like photobucket? All I get is the box with a red X. I used the "Insert Image" icon and it puts the IMG in brackets at the front and back of the link.

 

Posting Pictures, Hmmmmm--I guess it's called "READ THE DIRECTIONS" dummy.

 

Looks good from here.

 

x2. looks great. what size did the mickeys come in?

 

Cooper STT

 

I had the cooper STT's on my 98 ranger and 05 sport trac (both in 33x12.50R15's). They are a great tire. Good wear, great traction in all conditions. They get a little noisy as they wear down at the end, but they all do.
