Another tire ?

  

Ghostrider -> Another tire ? (1/4/2007 5:45:53 PM)

What do y'all know about Cooper or Pro-Comp tires?  Good?
I've got a line on cheap pricing for both and I'm looking to jump up to the 315/75/16's

Haven't had either one .... however, I'll swear by my Mickey Thompsons Baja MTZ's ....

Visitors got to see a new line of all-terrain radial light truck tires available from Mickey Thompson, a company owned by Cooper. The new Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ radial comes in sizes for most light truck/SUV applications, from the traditional 30x9.50R15LT size to the 40x13.50R20LT. This tire, says the company, features “stone kickers” between each shoulder lug.

I found that on a SEMA report site. Another Cooper huh?
Im liking the reports and wrap around tread.
The MTZ is made by them also.

I too have the MT MTZ and I did a lot of study before buying them. Just which Cooper tire did you have jm4490??

Pro Comp is also a Cooper company.

I'm thinking about those...looks about comparable with the Mickey's...but if Mickey is a Cooper company..maybe I can get a line on the MTZ.

I picked the MT MTZ because they were more aggressive than my AT and had siping which helps on slick rock and slick pavement. I also like the 3 ply sidewall with one wrap at an angle. The rim protector ridge and the side wall tread is nice in rocks. I also run in the gumbo mud and these clean out better than anything I have had. I think they have more rubber on the ground than the Coopers everybody around here started buying before this.
I may have put this up before but Im staying with the 285 for the terrain I run in. Its more important for me to have tire clearance in the wheel wells than 3/4 inch more road clearance and other issues.

the new cooper mud terrains are a good tire, my buddy has them on his dodge ram 2500 and they perform very well. Has over 20,000 miles on them and they still look like they have more than 75% tread left. They are a little more noisy than my mickey mtz's if I remember correctly.
