Tim shares his thoughts on the Cooper Discovery S/T Maxx that we had on Dusty our 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80 with a Maltec conversion. How did they handle terrain? How did they last? And how did they compare to other similar tires we've had? Well you'll have to watch and find out.

Always good to hear your down to earth opinion with the gear / kit that you guys are using.. especially as it based on your actual usage vs. what others may have been asked to share on their channels.

@JD-ef3yb 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Tim. Super helpful as I've been looking at these for several months and was set on getting them for my next tire. Still waffling between 265/75/16 and 285/75/16 but regardless will go with tire now that you've done such a thorough review.

Very good information . A person that runs the tire out ,has a much better perspective . Thanks and please do more real world reviews . Also on some vehicles the weight of the tire has a big impact on gas mileage.

Bought 5 of these for my Rado ZR2 last year, beat the hell out of them with zero issues and because they do great in the snow I dont need to swap from season to season.

Good review as I’ll be in the market soon to outfit a new Tacoma with a four wheel camper on the back. Always been a BFG guy and never really had any issues but weight will be an issue in the future along with moving up to an E rated tire. I’m primarily going to using the truck in the mountains fishing and heading back down into Baja next year.

@duncdunc76 2 жыл бұрын

Liked the Tire talk Tim👍Great useful info for future tire purchases. I actually am just now switching out of some 305/70/R16 Falken Wild Peak AT3s because their killing my mpgs on my Nissan Frontier lol. Going back to a tamer all terrain 285/75/R16 on the truck and putting the Falkens on the Diesel Suburban. I knew better but of course I got caught up with the size and look of the truck with the Falkens when I didn't need that big of a tire lol.

We all love our trucks and want them to look their best! It's a struggle between practical and cool looking! ;-)

I had good luck with Hankook A/T tires compared to the replaced Cooper A/T tires which wore out quickly. Mostly desert and asphalt driving with occasional snow on a Jeep cherokee XJ.

@Pengowirr 2 жыл бұрын

I find these to be the most underrated tires in the mainstream market. Everyone goes hard for the KO2s, the Toyota and Falkens but these are a gem waiting to be found.

@theroampatrol802 2 жыл бұрын

Had this tire in mind before the bf, sooner or later will end up changing them for AT. At the time of buying them, the offer was on MT and well, it was cheaper XD.

@APBT-Bandog Жыл бұрын

I imagine you will like the new Toyo R/T “trail” (make sure it is the “trail” version) as it seems to be lighter weight than many other features that seem desirable.

@brocklee1996 2 жыл бұрын

I wanna get these for my ram 3500 4x4. I primarily do highway driving with occasional driving in desert. Any thoughts?? I love the look and from reading 100's of reviews, the Cooper STT pro has the best reviews compared to other competitors.

I just moved somewhere with more mud on the trails than I'd like, but my Taco is also my daily, so I need something that can do well on the tarmac. Getting a set of Maxx's on May 1st.

So Tim love your channel as you make the most sense better than most We are in south Australia real desert 🌵 country…Reasonable dirt roads which can last for 300 Kay’s between stops ..Like you we are heavy especially when towing ..We use the Goodyear duratrac Have you tried these ..😅

I have Mickey Thompson (also made by Cooper) Baja ATZ P3 285/70/R17 on my LC200 they are awesome. I find them to be better than BF Godgride KO2 in wet consitions.

Thank you for all this information very helpful and good video job with the technical info . I run falken wildpeak at3w 265/75r16 now on Tacoma with load ( rtt awning and canopy Alu-Cab) and few other gear. I like this tire ( I m living in Canada) very good overall , and in the snow to. But I want to change for 255/85 r16 , so I try to find in this size all terrain tire . Most are mud terrain in this size... do you think the cooper S/T Maxx look like the falken wildpeak at3w. In this size 255 falken make only mud terrain... but I prefer All Terrain....

@DirtSunrise Жыл бұрын

I think the S/T Maxx is very close to an all terrain and would be a good over all tire.

Like to hear a review on the Toyo when you get through.

@ephipi 2 жыл бұрын

Great one. Love it. My wife and I love going remote. You can never learn to much when pushing it to the limit. Originally the Toyo, now the BFG. It was interesting to learn about the Coopers. We're on a Tacoma 2000 got it new. It's taken us to many glorious and gnarly places. Wheels! What's your take on Wheels?

@DirtSunrise 2 жыл бұрын

For most applications the factory wheel is stronger and lighter than most aftermarket choices. That being said, a set of wheels can make a truck look so different I understand why people do it. Our current truck has some aftermarket wheels that are actually skinnier and stronger than OEM so we can run the tall skinny tires properly. For the cost however, I would have just left the OEM wheels on the truck.

@ephipi 2 жыл бұрын

@@DirtSunrise Thanks. I agree. It's not the look, it's the functionality.

I have a 2020 Nissan Titan XD that is going to be used for mostly towing highway but will be in potential some sand etc while pushing a trailer or pulling a trailer would you recommend these tires it currently has the stock general grabbers that I really don't like. trying to find an all-terrain tire that will also provide good fuel mileage as much as possible awesome video

@DirtSunrise Жыл бұрын

I think they'd fit the bill. These tires were quieter than the more aggressive AT and of course any MT I've had in the past few years.

@ClintonHHuth 2 жыл бұрын

I have these exact tire series on my G wagon just in 235/85/16. Love the tire, it's very quiet tire for the aggressive tread pattern. It's a great all terrain tire

@ClintonHHuth 2 жыл бұрын

I chose the 235/85/16, for being readily available, 49lbs and 32 inches Wich is ideal for an overland vehicle where fuel economy is important

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Are these on 16x8 rims? I’m sold on the tire/size. Just considering 16x7 or 16x8 (93 Isuzu Trooper).

@DirtSunrise Жыл бұрын

Yes, these are on 16x8's, but if I could have gotten 16x7 I would have preferred it slightly with this skinny of a tire. 👍👍

I'd like to give them a try again. When Maxxis first launched LT tires they weren't ready for primetime and it scared many of us away, but that was a long time ago. Good to know! 👍

I'm running the St Maxx in 285/70r17 E load on my 5th Gen 4Runner. They're 62lbs, do you think they're too stiff and heavy for a 4runner, I'm considering switching to duratrac d load (54lbs) or k02 c load (51 lbs)

@DirtSunrise 2 жыл бұрын

You can somewhat solve the stiffness on a lighter truck by lowering the psi a bit. On the weight, it all depends. If you could do what you want and get no flats with a 40lb lighter set of tires you'll feel the different in acceleration and braking for sure. If it were me, I'd make the change next time I needed a new set.

@thegiant573 11 ай бұрын

What about 255 80 R17s? That is what I am looking at for my 4Runner. Go Skinny save weight .
