Need tire help...

I need some tires that give me good mileage but are very aggressive offroad. I've found some I like but they don't offer the size i want. Wondering if anyone knew a tire that had a similiar tread design....

looking for something around 33-35" but with a load rating around 3200. How many miles have you put on them so far?

A buddy of mine with a PSD Super Duty swears by the Cooper S/T. He put 50,000 on each of his last three sets. The current set has about 20,000 on the new set and still lots of tread left.

Says they blow the BFG A/T out of the water. I'm gonna give the Coopers a shot, he loves them.

Are you talking life milage or MPG. I just put on Maxisis Bucks Shot mudders and tested them in deep mud and nasty rock/hilly trail and they performed well. I don't know about life but some other guys on the board have been running them a while. Milage does not seem to have been hurt but my only tank included a 117 mile trip that took 12 hours and 105 miles was freeway. I got them for six bills in 315/75R16. I did trim the plastic on the bottom of the front bumperby 1/2" on the bottom and tapered to nothing at the black molding. The barley rub on the inner fender at the rear when you turn hard.

Thumbs up Cooper Discoverer ST

I just had the Cooper Discoverer ST 285/75/16 put on my truck last week. I wanted something that was a little more aggressive than an all terrain tire. I also heard that they wear well so I decided to give them a shot. You can check them out on the Cooper website. www.coopertire.com They looks very good!

I just found a really good deal on some maxxis bighorn radials. 285/75's. anyone have any experience? I'm looking for a tire that will last me more then 15000 miles. Thats all i got out of these last tires but they were Durango's. They looked exactly like the Cooper St and performed good for half their life...
Looking for something alittle more aggressive this time.
