Mastercraft Courser MXT’s...........made by Cooper. Little loud but they’re a pretty beefy MT and the price is REALLY nice!
I’ll second this, they have a lil noise, not terrible by any means, and they grip really well on a wet road. I’m def impressed with these for the price.

I have M/T tires, and the noise isn't an issue for me. It's almost exclusively ( problem wise ) is going to be the weight. They cost me about 1.5 MPG due to being so heavy. The cost to replace them can be a bit of a pita, but overall, they are solid tires. If you go offroad even a little, these M/T tires are worth the small investment.

D311029D-42CA-4711-8BE1-54F40F2A82CA.jpeg 35” ridge grapplers and they ride smooth with no noise

Question for those mentioning the importance of rotations....how often should ridge grapplers be rotated to keep them nice?

Found these pics I took at DT when I was deciding on tires.

One pic is my tires alone, next my tires stacked up with a cooper on the ground beside them and last pic is my 37” Yokohama next to a 35” Ridge Grappler

Mastercraft Courser CXT is a very nice hybrid. I have them on my gen3 2500 HD 4x4. They did very well last winter.

Toyo open country rt, hybrid tire that comes with 45k tread warranty

Other tire is a Cooper at3View attachment 130411 View attachment 130412

I have the Toyo RT's after getting rid of Mickey Thompson's MT's that did not perform well. These tires are great on and off-road. I use them year round in CO through our winters and take them into elk country which is pretty rocky.

I have 30k+ on them, but looks like I may get 40k, no more. I'll be buying another set this fall. 35x12.5×20.

I'll third this. I only have 3500 miles or so on them but so far, I plan on replacing w/ the same when they eventually wear out. Wet road traction has been impressive, road noise is minimal compared to other options & the price is outstanding.

I’m stuck between the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro and the Firestone Destination M/T2 both in 35x12.50R20. Anyone had either of these tires and if so, thoughts? Thanks in advance guys!
Just removed the Cooper SST pro. Only have 30k on them. Nothing wrong with them except the noise and the ride. They were just to rough and loud. I had them on my FJ also but it did not seem as bad on the FJ. I have not had any wear issues but balancing was a headache. I did go off road and I figured that was always my need to rebalance. I am now running General ATX tires and so far they are great.

I have the STT Pros on my 1500. Not in a 35 but I have about 25,000 miles on them now. I have rotated them every 5,000 miles. I'd say they are about half gone, maybe less than half gone. Thats the key to running a mud terrain on road for a decent amount of miles. Rotate, rotate and rotate.
