The time is fast approaching for me to acquire new meats for the Jeep...
Currently, I am running the 34.57" Cooper STT Pro. I love the tire, its has performed great in just about every condition I have thrown at it, and it's definintely on my list of possible re-buys. Only downfall to them that I have had is I sliced one of my sidewalls with just over 1,000 miles on the tire, and they have been wearing a bit on the faster side than I'd like with a four tire rotation instead of the five I had originally planned.
My options that I am looking at are the:
I have read a lot of good about the Patagonia, but everything seems to be from people out West. Located in Ohio, I run a lot of trails with slimey, moss covered rocks and muddy hills. I am skeptical of how they will perform in these conditions. I have heard they do well in snow, so I am not too worried about that aspect. They are also the cheapest of the three options I am looking at, so that is also a positive.
I have mutilple friends running the MT/R Kevlar in 35"s to 42"s, so I know how they perform here in Ohio, they're just the most expensive tire of the group.
Lastly the Coopers, I'm willing to buy them again, but kinda wanted that 38" tire...even though none of them are a true 38"...and the STT Pro isn't a true 37".
So, does anyone have any experience with the Patagonia M/T in the NE/Midwest?
