Cooper Discoverer STT

20% - Road & Sand
80% - Dirt & Mud

LONG MILEAGE
Large shoulder lugs and larger centre tread blocks reduce squirming so they don't chew out so quickly.

EXTRA STRENGTH TO REDUCE OFF ROAD DAMAGE
Cooper has a multi-layered steel cord belt and an extra rubber layer fitted between the belts to absorb more impact and reduce damage. Straight Sidewall design also deflects objects and reduces damage.

INCREDIBLE OFF ROAD GRIP
Alternatively scalloped shoulder lugs so that one section always has a clear shot at fresh ground for maximum traction.



QUIET ON THE ROAD
Centre tread blocks are larger than normal and have a 52-degree angle to reduce the noise level on bitumen.



SELF CLEANING
Tapered tread blocks and a unique 52-degree angle throw the mud out with every revolution.

Price: $320.00
Pros: deep tread, good looks, quite ride
Cons: skinny for a 12.50, took alot to balance,
Recommended? No

Comments: 37x12.50r17
tire runs very quite for a mud grip on the road, almost street tire like handling, the lugs on the 37" models are a full 3/4" deep, 20-21/32 on the others, the looks are great. the tires are skinnier than other brands same size, about an inch skinnier than KM2's on same rims, and close to 2" from MT/R's. Mounted on a set of 17x8.5 MB Chaos' they are only a little over 11 wide at the max, and tread is just bigger than the rims (guessing about 9 1/2"). On a set of 5, the lease balance weight was 2 3/4 oz the most was a full 9 oz! so they aren't as good the the BFG or Goodyears in that regaurds. I definately would recommend these tires to others, however, if you like that real wide look, these tires are not for you

Went home did my lift and was off the the shop to mount and blanace the tiers. went on with no problems and i love them so far. They are not loud at any speed (not as loud as i thought).

Pros: Good look, very grippy!
Cons: A little noisy due to tread.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I love these tires! They have never let me down. I have yet to get stuck. They have a definate "hum" to them on the highway, but personally I like it. They ride a little rough but that's to be expected. Like I said before, I love these tires, I swear by them and would recommend these to anyone!

Price: $250.00
Pros: Decent all around tires with good offroad performance in mud
Cons: Weak side walls
Recommended? No

Comments: Tires were purchased in Europe.
They are used almost exclusively for driving offroad on varied terrains, including in offroad competitions on a truck that has previously used BF Goodrich MTs and Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs.

On road they seem to be a little noisier than the Goodyear MT/Rs.

In mud for now (almost new) the STTs have decent performance which is comparable to that of the Wrangler MT/Rs and better than the BFGs.

They are however one big disappointment as far as side wall strength is concerned.

For the past 4.5 years I've had only one tire (BFG MT) with a damaged side wall. Now, for the 2 months I've been using the Cooper STTs I've had 2 tires that got 3-4 cm cuts in the side wall as a result of contact with small stones.

Pros: Great looking, aggressive, confident feeling
Cons: None yet
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought a set of 35x12.50x15 for my TJ in December. Since then, we've had a bit of ice and snow in my area. In the time we've had the nasty roads, I've only engaged 4wd once. They seemed to handle the ice as well as you could expect any tire to. I had no problems with the now either, as long as you were not stupid with the skinny pedal, you could go anywhere. The only time I had an issue was when we had snow on top of ice, that was when I had to engage 4wd to get a better "feel".

I've had absolutely no problems with rain or dry roads. They seem to be at home at 70mph on the interstate. The tread makes very little noise considering how aggressive it is. I can feel a bit of the lugs bouncing the jeep when i'm barely creeping. That bounce disappears when you speed up to 5mph or so.

I haven't had the opportunity to take them into the rocks yet, but will be in a week or two. I'll update on their performance after I get back.

UPDATE:
I just got back from a short wheeling trip in some rocks and a little mud thrown in for good measure. These shoes hooked up like crazy. They just gripped onto any type of surface I found and walked up ledges like a mountain goat. With the right gear and good tire placement, hardly a slip or spin. This was only aired down to 15psi too.

Pros: Great looking... excellent street ride... low price!
Cons: none so far
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I put a set of STTs on my 2005 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited on Friday, but so far they are noticeably better than the stock MTRs on the street. Heck of a better ride and a lot quieter too. I've got to make a road trip tomorrow, so I'll see how they handle on the Interstate.

My stock tires needed replacing before the snow started flying this winter. One local dealer didn't have any KM2s in stock, so I went with the STTs at another dealer instead (stayed with stock size... 245/75R/16).

They were about $200 cheaper than the KM2s. I'll update over the winter when I find how they handle snow/ice.

UPDATE: I've put about 500 miles on the tires and still think they are great. They are excellent on the highway and feel stickier on snow pack/icy conditions at highway speeds than stock MTRs. Again, they are quieter... I can actually hear the radio at lower volume levels now.

We had a long week of snow and ice and I was surprised that the STTs handled it very well. The conditions ranged from hard packed snow, deep plowed snow drifts (from where the plows pushed snow up) and sheer ice... They handled it all as good or better than the stock MTRs did last year. No squirreliness on the ice and it pulled right through the plowed drifts.

All in all, they are an excellent buy!

Price: $180.00
Pros: Mud, snow, rain, pavement.
Cons: None
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought these tires (32x11.5) about two years ago and finally decided to post a detailed review after I had enough time to really experience them. I use my jeep as a DD and spend most of my time on the paved roads but I also do some pretty aggressive offroading on weekends. After 2 years and about 28k miles I still have about 40% tread life left on all 4 tires and they have worn completely even. I'm still able to get through some of the deepest mud and trails around my area and plan on buying the same tire when I move up to 33s.

Snow / Ice: These tires handle good on snowy roads. I live in IL where we see our fair share of snow and ice and these tires do better then I would expect in the worst conditions. No brand of tire performs "excellent" on ice (especially mud terrains) however, the STTs exceed my expectations and plow through deep snow with no problems!

Rain: As with snow, these tires also grip really good in wet conditions and have very minimal slipping. The siping in the tread patterns help tremendously to keep all 4 tires under control and keep you heading in the right direction. I truly believe that driving in dangerous conditions is dependent on 80% driver / 20% tires but it helps to have a tire that really grips and performs well

Mud: I have not been stuck once... that should say it all right there! STTs have very deep lugs that extend all the way down the sidewall and you can really feel these tires pull you through ruts as well as self clean the treads while paddling through thick mud. I've been very happy with how these tires perform offroad and like I said earlier, they still perform good after 2 years.

Road: These tires are built from a harder compound rubber which helps with longevity as well as even wear. I would estimate at least three years or 40k before these tires are done. They are pretty loud and only get louder with more wear but that doesn't bother me. Don't buy a mud terrain if you want a quiet tire

Cooper tires own and make mickey thompson and if you look at the STTs compared to the MTZs, they have very similar tread design and the MTZs are rated as one of the best. I spent a lot of time researching different brands and tread designs before I bought these tires and they have performed better then I ever expected!

Spare tire with 100% tread life:


Tire about 28k miles and 40% tread life:
