Question New tire questions!

Hey guys, this is too early to being talking about getting new tires but i want to get some probably summer of next year and just wanted to get some info on them now. I'm debating between the Cooper ST's and the Goodyear Wrangler DuraTracs and probably a 32", i believe that's a 265/75/16 (not totally sure). Does anyone have these tires or used to? and what are you opinions on them. I trust you guys more than the bullsh&t reviews on the net. Thanks guys!

both good tires id say...as a former installer of cooper tires,never had many complaints on the st's.

though the stt's look more like a match to those goodyears,i would think the odd tread of the goodyears may be a bit strange compared to the st tire.

honestly i would for something that has a tread pattern like mine or lootowpunx...make it have a bolder stance and make people look twice! just my opinion! but from the time i've been here people have never complained bout either tire...but i'm stayin with BFG ALLTERRAINS they've done me well and my dad had a set on his Chevy for 60K and still had plenty of tread! so yeah i'm stayin loyal!

oh yea ta's all the way thats why they sell for what they do.

a shop i used to work at had 2 sets of ta's stolen from the back and were recoverd about 2 months after and insurance said they couldnt sell em used!
235/75/15's and 265/75/16's

i offerd 200 for the set of 235s for my old nissan hardbody kingcab...nope HAD TO BE DESTROYED!

had to drill a hole with a holesaw in each tire!
i felt sick!


check this site for tires you may like,where i got mine and love em...i got a diff tread design but this link is like the BF ta's

guy at work has this tire for his chev 1500 and loves em!

I have the Goodyear Authority's,which are basically the Dura-tracs with out the option for snow studs. They are awesome!!

BFG's are great tires as well. I don't know much about Cooper.

I went with Hancooks, a little over sized. Love them! The Wranglers are what it came with and lasted barely 20,000 miles.

Hankook 265 R70/16's on the stock rims. Looks nice with the white letters out. Handle amazing in any weather!

Yea i no both tires i hear are good, a buddy of mine has the ST's on his ram and he loves them and ive seen the DuraTracs and i love the tread on them (going for an aggressive look) but the Goodyear Authority's are really nice, i like those alot. How are those handling you donkeypunch?
