Default Ok well i'll make another tire thread

Ok so i've been doing my research. I've decided i really like the cooper discoverer STT's. I can get them for $182 a piece installed/balanced. I'm going to go with the 30x9.5x15 flavor. Anyone have any experience with these tires good or bad?

Here's a pic for reference.

I had the older style STT's a few years back without the siping. GREAT in the mud, no so much in the snow. I put wear at great for an M/T. On road noise wasn't bad at all, unless you sat in the back seat. They crawled on rock pretty good, though I did lose a few chunks of rubber here and there. I think that goes for just about any tires on sharp rocks.

Overall, I'd say they are a great choice for tires. And I've heard the newer style are so much better in the snow than the ones I had.

$137ea DISCOVERER STT LT

Most tire franchises (ntb, discount) will match prices for online stores. Some will only match the shipped-price though so you may have to add the cost of shipping on top of that price and then mount/balance. If your $182 price includes road hazard, then the online price may not be much of a deal.

yeah, i been doing some searching and it seems most of the prices i'm seeing ordering online are from 175 all the way to 220 per tire. Plus road hazard, and that doesn't include mounting and balancing.

The price of $182 per tire does include mounting and balancing, not sure about road hazard though i'll have to ask.
