Truck needs new tires soon... It's got BFG Long trail radials now... Think I want to see if the cooper shop down the road from me carries these :D We always get tires there, they hook us up nicely.

I have the Cooper ST MAXX's on my ranger and like them alot. I think they're load range E or whatever, the guy said they were made for 3/4 ton, but ive probably put about 20k on them and they still look new and barely look worn. They're pretty nice on the highway but are awesome in mud and really good in snow conditions. My old roommate had those same tires (A/T3) in 285's on his cummins and really liked them for driving across the US and as his road tires. His other tires were 37's with Pro comp xterrains though

I just purchased some Cooper Discoverer ST's and I have only but good things to say about them! I've only put about 1,000 miles on them but the traction in anything is great, especially in the rain. I looked into the AT3's first but turned them down to being a load range E. The ST's are a load range D.
If you go to the AT3's just watch tire pressure and play around with it until you can find a good medium between a good ride but not too soft that the tires are underflated.

No problem man. Load ranges used to be measured in plies. Like a D rated tire would have 8 plies of rubber. This can cause high heat thus tire companies changed how they made tires with new compounds stiffer rubber, nylon vs steel belts etc instead of using several plies of rubber.
Load range is the specific weight one tire can hold when properly inflated. A D or E are heavier tires due to heavier rubber and materials that make them. That's why most people run those load ranges on heavy trucks ie an F-250/350. Less ratings like a C load rating is better to use on a Ranger due to the "softer" rubber and compounds that it is made of. However all over this site people use D and E load rated tires and just play with the tire pressure to get a good ride. My Cooper's in a 285/75/16 are a load range D and they ride great now that I have found a good tire pressure to leave them at. Good luck on finding some tires! It's always a challenge for me lol.
