Hey everyone. I think its getting close to that time again (I'm urging it on as quickly as possible) for new tires. I'm sitting at 65,000 miles on my Nitto Trail Grapplers. Great mileage and here are some pics of where I am.

So obviously these Trail Grapplers have been great to me. Have enjoyed them. Just always get antsy at the end of the life and look to try something new.

So I've been reading about the new Coopers. Seen the video review as well. Anyone running them on here? Haven't seen much on our forum. Let me know what you think. Thanks!










My 4th tire has 10k less on it because I damaged it beyond repair early on. So that one would get replaced regardless.

 

I can't speak for the STT Pro, but I have the S/T Maxx.

255-80/17 with 33,000 and they are holding up and performing great. I figure I'll get about 60,000 on them by next fall and replace for next winter.

I would imagine the STT Pro should be a good hook up tire for you.

 

Thanks for the response. I'm intrigued. I know there's no real reason to go away from something that I've had such great results from, but I can't help myself. Haha. My next question is about the sizing. So when I purchased my 295/60/20's I was using the AutoSpring 1.5" leveling kit (at the time that was actually giving 2" of lift) and I did some trimming and am pretty sure I was rub-free after that. It's been a while. When I changed the level out for the Bilstein 5100's, there was no rub at all. So here are measurements of the two tires:

Nitto Trail Grappler 295/60/20 - Height 34.45", Width 12.13"
Cooper STT Pro 295/60/20 - Height 34.29", Width 11.5"
Cooper STT Pro 35/12.5/20 - Height 34.69", Width 12.4"

Will I notice the difference in the Cooper being a bit smaller in the same size? Or do you think I should go for the 35/12.5/20? Is it close enough that I can make it work?

Thanks!
