Looking for opinions from anyone on Cooper Tires but mostly interested in the Discoverer STT if anyone is running them. Thinking of getting some 265 or 285's for on my 03.

i have 285 cooper st's. they have to be bigger than what they say cuz i had 305 xterrain's(loved those) anyway i have about 25k miles on my coopers and they dont even look like they have worn. i have been in the mud a few times and they did ok, not as good as the xterrains but good enough. they did pretty good in dune sand as well. they are alittle loud, but every mud tire i have has been, plus gm did you a favor and added this thing called a radio to combat this. they arent too bad but cheap, pretty good in mud, good in sand, and wear like iron. ive hope this helps even though they arent the stt's, but im satisfied.

Well, I had the regular ST's also and they were okay. They started to scallop pretty badly and hammered pretty loud going down the road so I ended up getting rid of them. Bear in mind that I ran 100 miles plus on them every weekday and a good chunk of that is interstate. I can't see how the STT's would be much different, but it is all what you are willing to put up with for some decent looks and offroad capability. I got to the point where the drone of those things gave me a headache. I must just be getting old.....lol

I have cooper discover a/t. Got over 50,000 miles on them, but it is time for new ones. The tire noise isn't too bad and they still have some tread left on them, but I want to replace them before the first snowfall. Looking with going with the discover atr this time around.

I have the Cooper A/T as well. 30,000 on them, rotated every 5-7K. I will be lucky to get another 7k out of them. I don't "abuse" them either. They were great in the snow the first year, last year needed the 4wd a lot more. I only paid $435 out the door, also wanted them because the are made in USA. I think next tires will be TOYO.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
