Definitely have those in mind. I think 285/60/20 would be perfect size honestly. Just high priced

Do they do well in wet highway conditions? I know how capable they are off road and every day driving

They do really good on ice for a somewhat aggressive tire but I haven't done enough wet highway driving to give any advice on that. With that said I would assume they would be better for wet conditions because they have better siping than the Cooper.

I just picked up a set for my FX4 at NTB for 911.00 in the st maxx the size I got is 295 70 18 and they look bad *****. They are priced well and made in the USA. I plan to have them installed this weekend and will post picks. I am mounting them on 18x9 +18 off set XD addicts. I have Bilstein 5100 struts set at max height and after seeing the tires I hope they fit. I priced duratracs but they were considerably more expensive and a smaller diameter.

I should've gone with 18s. So many more choices and at less cost.
Definitely post some pics and give some thoughts!

They do good on wet roads. I have had mine for 13k miles and still look good. The ride is rough with them aired up beyond about 42 lbs.

Default Cooper ST Max ...

First off if .... If you do a search on these tires your going to find that many guys regularly get 50k from them . If you stay on the pavement 90% of the time I would look for something other than the ST Max , on the dirt and mud these are as good if not better than many Mud TA's on the market they really clean out good . I haven't had mine on the truck for more than 6k but have no complaints other than they are not as quite as I hoped . Any semi aggressive off road tire you buy is going to be more susceptible to cupping , and need to be rotated every 3500 miles if you want to keep that from happening .... As far as the Duratrac goes ..... it says right on the tire ...GOOD4AYEAR
Cooper makes a bunch of other tires under different names that dont cost near as much as Goodyear's and will last longer .. Just google search Cooper Tire Co ... Kelly Safari AT's are a great looking semi aggressive tire that you will get your moneys worth (they were my 2nd choice) .... Great reviews
If you go with 34's expect quite a bit of power loss and your mpgs to drop off a bunch ..I know from experience ...they look great but that's about the only good thing about them

ive gotten alil over 7k on mine. love them, they are fairly good on wet roads, you have to watch it like any other tires on wet roads. I really like the fact hydroplaning is no longer present. I cant seem to see any wear on them yet. They seem to have gotten alil more noisy than new but nothing like MT's

Mine are not good in snowy conditions and even on wet roads. The traction light flips off even on wet pavement or if there is sand. Disappointing considering all the reviews I read. Like I've said before, I question what people consider winter conditions. Even OEM tires an plow through snow with enough speed.


But they are quiet.
