New Discover STT tires ordered

http://www.coopertire.com/html/produ...discoverer_stt

I wanted the Toyo MT but they are back ordered in a 285. I think these will do a good job.

Those are awesome tires. I had the privilage to run them for a weekend. They were much better than the BFG mud terrains and Buckshot mudders I have ran in the past. Have fun, and I want to see some pics

what size did you say you're getting? i got the 33s i almost purchased the 35s but thought my fuel mileage would be affected to much. it already is from going to the 33s from the 265s by about 4mpg. don't forget about your speedometer too when i'm going around 65 i'm really doing 70. watch your speed...i drive about 70 mile round trip to and from work i just set the old cruise, that is until i see a powerjoke. hee hee...........

I've been drooling over them for my Toyota - even took a picture of them in the shop...but I'm planning on selling the Toyota to buy a 4-wheeler so I'm not gonna do it now.

Anybody got a picture of them on their Dodge?

A guy at work has them on his new Chevy Colorado, and they don't look that great on that truck....and I'm starting to think twice about them.

That's good to know. My second choice so far has been the BFG mud terrains - I wondered how they compared. Thanks

My local tire dealer is trying to get me to buy a set (6) of these for my dually. Not real sure how they will stand up in the rear for weight carrying capacity and use on gravel roads as I travel quite a few miles in the summer to and from the farm.

I don't have a dually, but when I had them on my truck, the sidewalls did not flex as much as I thought they would. They must have a pretty stiff sidewall, but your best bet is to find out from someone with a dually. The set of tires I used had about 20k miles on them and well over half tread left. They gripped really well on gravel roads, but were kinda noisy on the highway. Not as noisy as a super swamper, but you could tell that you had a set of off-road tires on. If you have any more questions, let me know.

Whats the expected mileage of these on the highway? I put about 30k/year on the truck and 90% of these are highway/interstate miles. I also expect that these miles will be much higher next year (appr. 50K miles).

I think every truck must be different on clearance in the stock form. I have had 33's Truxxus Radials on my truck that actually measured closer to 34" when new, with no lift at all. I just put the leveling kit on and I don't know why I wouldn't have plenty of clearance for 35's with it. I also think it has alot to do with the width.
