I like them Kyle.

916Timmy 02-13-2012 10:27 PM

Mucho bueno!!!!

(S.M.R) 101 02-13-2012 11:37 PM

Yeah We had a contract with Cooper and ran the STT's on all of our work trucks.... only thing I did not like about them was they seem to wear really fast but then again your talking to a guy who drives a lot of miles in really short amounts of time.

Thanks Dave & Tim.. I will hopefully have them on in a day or 2.. going to try and sell the Bfg's on local craigslist.

DoubleTakeDodge 02-13-2012 11:43 PM

yeah, i'm kinda worried about em wearin a little too fast. But it'll be sittin monday-friday most of the time because im at school so hopefully it wont be bad. I really like the S/T Maxx's, I'll be going w/ somethin similar to that whenever i get to the point that i need to replace tires. Good luck w/ em!

(S.M.R) 101 02-13-2012 11:51 PM

no doubt dude but they are a pretty bad ass tires and they look pretty damn narley.

DoubleTakeDodge 02-13-2012 11:56 PM

Yeah they do!! I like the way a HD truck looks on nice all-terrains when it has a good stance. I like aggressive tread alright but its almost impractical lol

(S.M.R) 101 02-14-2012 12:13 AM

yeah I think it will really make the truck look better with a good set of beefy tires tucked in the fender wells

BMRbrnSNRbrd 02-14-2012 07:30 AM

...and then larger flares, right? To protect the paint and all....I'm only thinking of your protecting your paint......

(S.M.R) 101 02-14-2012 09:37 AM

Ohh well of course Dave, you have to protect that beautiful paint.


Hahaha.

what makes an aggressive tread impractical? i get a smooth ride/minimal sound/ and good mileage out of mine

BMRbrnSNRbrd 02-14-2012 03:12 PM

I'm not a fender flare whore....those are just the right color and style, lol.

Yeah, i looked up the specs on them and they actually have the same tread wear rating as the s/t maxx's.

Impractical is probably the wrong word, just unnecessary (in my case anyways). Not in all cases, just with obscenely loud and rough tire. Some guys really like that though! Just depends on personal preference!
