It looks like Cooper is offering two 17in load range E tires in their 'Discoverer S/T' series; an LT245/70R17, and an LT265/70R17. It looks like a studdable 'light' mud tire or 'heavy' all terrain, and is the first studdable 17in load range E that I've seen. Anyone have experience these tires ?

 

We sell them but we sell more Discoverer A/Ts and M/S which are also studdable but soft with alot of sipes so their life is shorter.I like the A/T which are alittle less aggressive and quiet.But if a aggressive good traction Highway and mud tire is what you want the the S/T will make you happy.The Cooper line has the best tire warranty out there also.

 

I have been wating on the S/T from Cooper so I could get a good all-around tire. This may prompt me to get rid of my BFG mt's. I have ran several diffirent sets of Cooper tires mostly the STT radial which is the MT, always had good luck with them

 

I ran cooper tires on my last truck with great success. I was happy with performance as well as wear. I have been waiting to hear that they were making 17" tires. Now all I need to wait for is a 285/70/17. I just think those 265's look so small on these trucks. I might still go with them if they don't go any bigger by the time I need new tires.

On the S/T vs the A/t or M/S I don't see the A/T or M/S offered in a 17in load range E. The M/S appears that it would probably be a better winter tire as I think it has a severe snow rating.

 

I called around to find the ST today and none of the local dealers can get them for me. If any one finds out how much they are and who can get them let me know.

 

I've been running the S/T Coopers for years. I've had and worn out many sets. These have been, over and over, the best all-terrain aggressive tires I have ever owned. I will continue to purchase the S/T tires to replace the ones I have now. They wear well, and give me just enough tire noise to tell me that I have real meats on the truck. I like that.
