Coopers or Pro comps

DodgeCummins98 · 08-12-2008, 01:44 AM

Alright I've found a great price on some 315/75 Cooper Discovery S/T Mud terrains, and some Pro Comp Xtreme All terrains. They are both priced the same at $525 for 4. The price is unbeatable from what I can see. They are "blems" though, uniformity blemished.

What exactly does "blem" mean? Is it a bad thing that would negate the price difference?

Which tire is better between those two, considering the price is the same. I don't really need a Mud terrain but I wouldn't care to have it.

Much cheaper than the Toyo open countrys I had been planning to get at $711 for 4.

Both are good tires....I'm partial to Cooper poopers. Been good to me over the years. But I had good luck the one time I ran Pro Comp brand tires. Just didn't like them in the snow

I belive that pro comps are made by cooper. I could be mistaken but I now a guy that works for pro comp and I belive he told me that.

Well I went with the Coopers. The Coopers seemed to have great reviews and people were happy with them. I mainly just want a good tire with a long tread life. Only off road my trucks see is around on the farm.

I bought the tires from nebraskatire.com. It was $525, free shipping, for a set of four tires in either one of the tires I mentioned. 315/75/16

DodgeCummins98,
To answer the question "What exactly does "blem" mean? Is it a bad thing that would negate the price difference? "

Blem means the tire is Blemished.

There is usually a visual imperfection in the tire. Like, The "B" in "BFG" is visibly distorted, or half there.

The tire is still OK, or they wouldn't sell it
