These are cooper s/t's 265/70/17E.Excellent offroad traction and good road manners.Only using a 1/4" spacer.

Anything over a 265 really needs a bolt on spacer.My friend has 285's and you can't get fit a #2 pencil in the gap.Wouldn't recommend this for towing.I tow heavy and have had no problems with the 265's.Theres really not alot of sizes to pick from.Someone needs to make a 265/80/17.That would be the perfect tire,nice width and a little taller than stock,but until then the 265/70's will have to work.

Thanks. Yes, there is a 3" spacer, but could have lived with a 2" probably. The sidewall tread is really aggressive on the Nitto Mud Grapplers. Anything less than a 2" spacer and they are going to touch.

I run the cooper discoverer ST,s looked every where and found these at my dodge dealership, they were the cheapest i could find anywhere, at 120 bucks a peice, they are a mild all terain, but i drive highway also, they ride smooth, hardly any roar, and grab great on the oilfield locations where every one else is stuck, also at about 40,000 miles on them and getting close to replace time, the best tire for the buck for on and off road, handle well in the rain also

Where is your dealer....Cooper S/T 265's load range E's cost me $225 plus install and taxes.... at 120....I'd buy a dozen in a minute. They are a great tire....good traction, good mileage, pretty quite. They are my tire forever....have them balanced on the truck dynamically for best results. KS

I agree.Show me where they are $120 and I'll get my next 2 sets and put them in the building for the future.I payed $170 a tire at the local Cooper tire dealer installed.
