Default Just installed my new bigger tires!

Just got my Cooper Discoverer STT Pro's installed on Friday. They are 315/70R17 and I couldn't be happier with how they look and fit. Here is a video my son and I put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v1ZHi40FYI

Nice job on the video! Jeep looks really good after, tell us how the coopers perform, might be the next tire I choose.

Thanks! I'll be doing a full week of commuting on them and then hitting the trail next weekend... full review to come!

I would keep an eye on your pressure. I run 26-27 on my 315's. At stock pressure you may kill the tires prematurely.

I hear ya. I may try to do a chalk test or something just to see how flat the tread is laying. Thanks!

Definitely good advice, I had 35's on my Chevy 2500 and ran about 28-30 psi , made for a better ride and wore better. Especially if your tires are a higher load rating than you really need.

Cool video, jeep looks great! How do you like the tires on the factory wheels? Would you do it again?
