Cooper st's do great in the rain and every other surface I have thrown at them.

Read the reviews at Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels

I bought General Tire (Top Rated) HANDLERS for my 2WD Highway Rig............

Toyo ATs. Best tire I have ever had. Great traction in every condidtion and wear pretty well. The only downside is they dont look nearly as aggresive as most other ATs or MTs. But Ill take functionality over looks

It has been raining in Maine for 30 days straight.....
Great time to test my new Mickey Thompson ATZ
These are by far the best tire I have ever owned!

And trust me I have been through some tires...

You could squeak out 30,000 miles(load E). I've got 33x12.50's on mine and they have lasted a long time. Awesome in the ice and snow. Great in the rain also. They do pick up rocks like mad and are NOT very good in the mud. Worth it. Think I'll be trying Toyo M/T 35's next though.

Iceman makes a great point ....
These are sold as something like 70 % road tire
and 30 % offroad tire so if your looking for a mud tire this is not for you!!!

Atz-Mtz is going to be your mileage difference, I don't see the load range making a huge difference.
