Looking at these for a 35" setup. I have 33" Duratracs now which I love, but they get a little pricey in the 35" range. Looking for feedback on road noise, grip, wear, balancing and trueness, etc.

Thanks!

A friend of mine used to have them. They were fairly noisy, and wore out pretty fast.

I have the stt in a 35/12.5/15 setup and I actually find them to have less road noise compared to the 33" duratracs I was running prior to that. Had them on for about 5k miles now and there are no signs of wear yet... Although I'm secretly hoping they won't last too long I'm itching to step up to 37's!

I've only heard good things about the Coops. That's the exact size I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on!!! Already got the 15x10s in the garage just itchin to get some rubbers!! (No pun intended) How close are they to true size? I know some 35s are practically 33s when all said and done. Just looking for the most accurate 35 out there.

Thanks

Love my 37/12.50/17 STT they are on there 3rd jeep yeah I know I have A.D.D lol. The tires have almost 30,000 miles on them and not even close to done I would say about 60% tread left . Good tire every where and not noisy at all compared to most mud tires. I run mine at 6PSI in the winter and between 8PSI and 10PSI in the hot summer grips the rocks awesome.
Here is a video in very slimy mud without lockers was running 8psi

I love the look and the shoulders on em. I'm the wrong guy to ask about noise, been driving M/Ts for 7 years. They sure do chunk but whatever I guess, I bought them to use.

I ran them in 33s for 2 years and loved them. Worked well in the mud and rocks. They can chunk on the rocks though. I didn't have an issue with highway noise either. And they wore pretty good. I would recommend them.

I had them, 35 1250 17. Ony Sahara and only have good things to say. Had 40k on them and still had decent tread. Great in snow, mud and rocks, while remaining quiet.
