They are Cooper Discoverer (Not Discovery, lol) STT's and they are well documented on Cooper's site. The new STT is different. I presume these are radial STT's? If so there is some info here: http://www.coopertires.com/us/en/Pro...ht+Truck+Tires

There is a newer version of the STT, but I doubt the ones you're look at are them.

The STT's are a "true mud tire" -- large lugs and spacing and NO siping. They will be good in deep snow, mud and so on but not in rain. Not a preferred street tire but something you deal with in order to get the advantages offroad, lol.

John i had these tires for over 20000 miles. there crappy in damn near any snow. acully not bad at all in rain except when they wear down it gets scary other then that there fine just have to drive like your on mudders but its 100% managable. and they just KICK *** in mud and dirt they eat everything alive.

i looked at those last night those arnt the same pattern...ill get a pic of the tire today, thats why i was kinda confused it was dark last night when i looked at them and the only light that i had was my headlights and my hellas in my grill but i will get a pic today...but i was gunna say 50 a tire so 170 cuz he already owes me 30 for a tow truck to get him out of the mud...

Hmmm...are they ST's then and not STT's?

I have and have had ST's and they are pretty much the ideal "compromise" tire to my mind. They did well in everything, excelled in a few areas, and just generally made me very happy.

Well, let us know what you're looking at exactly when you can.

Ha ha! Yes, I distinguished that he probably had the older style in the first sentence you quoted, Christian.

I still don't have you address to send you the belt. Could you PM it to me, please?
