Default Tires

I got a question for you guys. I am looking at new tires and my 4 choices are, Nitto Trail Grappler (305/55/20), Cooper stt (33x12.50x20), Cooper zeon ltz (305/55/20), wrangler duratracs (305/55/20)?? whats yalls opinions? I do mostly highway driving/in town and light offroad. I also pull a 17ft key west so i need something that will grip the boat landing good and Is also good in wet conditions. I want a true 33 and I have heard the cooper stts arent very true?? thanks for yalls help!!

How bout mileage? You rarely heard good things about them. There mileage compared to a lot of tires SUCKS! Had a set of umm last 28 thousand with maintains air and rotation every 5000 with good alignment.

I just don't recommend them . I personally love BFG and cooper. But if u want the look of the nitto u can look into toyo. There the same owner just higher quality.

My dad has the wrangler duratracs on his f250 and he really likes them. They are quite, decent looking, and will plow through some mud.

My Cooper LTZ's got 20k miles and my Terra Grappler's got 33k miles. I'm a Cooper Direct dealer and i still intend to keep running the Nitto's.
