Cooper makes a good tire,..
I read about a year ago that Cooper
had re-tooled it's entire factory.
Much improved & state-of-the-art
mold and press machines to vastly
up-scale the quality of their products.
The review, (10 different makers of tires),
gave Cooper a 5-star-rating,.. 1 to 5,
1 being pure crap and, 5 being top rated.

did you get the Definity's? if so, what size. I was just looking at those as well... but wanted to know what size i could get them in.

I'm looking for a 275 65 20 - i know not all manufacturers make that size though. Been looking at the Nitto Terra Grapplers and Goodyear ATS, but the Definity's look more like my old Goodyear MT/Rs I used to run. I'd rather get them.

I have them tires. So far I really like them. I haven't done any muddin with them yet so I can't tell ya how well they do with that. I will say though make sure you keep good air pressure with them. I left the one get low and it wore the thread down on the edge. It was my fault no fault of the tire so I can only say good things

Solid! Gonna call pepboys today to see if they have the size I want.

I did some research and found that Maxxis Bighorn also makes the size I want, but I cannot seam to find anyone who carries that size.

I had those tires on my truck when I bought it. They were superb, even though they were worn down, due to the cost of the truck I was not able to get tires as soon as I would have ideally. But anyways, they didn't have to much road noise, yet still had good grip in some mud. If tirerack.com had sold then I would have bought them but they don't so I had to settle with something else. Good luck with them!
