Anyone on here have experience with these? I was originally dead set on Cooper Discoverer STT Pro, but these tires look very similar, and are made by Cooper Tire Company in the US as well. I am looking to get 35x12.50R20 to go on my new 20x12 rims. The Coopers I can get for just under $1500 shipped, or the Mastercrafts for just under $1200 shipped. So about $300 less. I had 305/55R20 (33x12) Nitto Trail Grapplers and loved them, but dont want to spend that much on my 35s. What do yall think?

I went with the cooper because they have a 3 ply side wall whereas the mastercraft only has 2. I do a lot of driving in nasty rocky Mountain roads so I like the toughest tire I can get. The cooper's are awesome.

I am looking at those as well. Most of my off road activity is in mud or muck, so I think they should do fine. Just wondering about road noise...

No experience with those tires, but I saw fairly good reviews about them. Not to mention the price is good.

I was deciding between the same 2 tires. I went with the Coopers. I'd find them cheaper from discount tire. On their site there's a spot where it says "found them cheaper" click here. So I did. 2 days later I received an email from a guy from discount. I called him I and we worked out a deal. I decided to go 275/65/20 and he shipped them to me for $1,200 even. I know the 35x12.50 would be a little more but not $300. All in all I like the Coopers. I find them a little noisy but not as bad as some I have had in the past. They are wearing well. They look like I'm on pace to get 35-40K out of them and that's ALL pavement.

Around the same time a buddy of mine went with the MXT's on a 2010 F-250 and his do not seem to be wearing as good as mine. The MXT's are not as aggressive either. The only advantage I see with them are the price and they do seem to be a little quieter but I can't tell if it's really the tires are quieter or is the Diesel engine drowning out the tire noise. Good luck with your purchase.

That's because his truck is significantly heavier and has totally different front suspension design. I'd say both of these tires would last an equal amount of time on the same truck, since they are both made by Cooper. I think I'd go with the MXT for the weight savings unless I expected to be on rocky and rough trails all the time.
