Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx All Terrain LT295/70R17 121/118Q E Light Truck Tire

This is my second set of st maxx's that I've had on my Tacoma and I don't think I could ever run anything else. I had a 33 before with 40k miles on them and only changed because I wanted 35s. The fact that it's an "all terrain" so it keeps the sipes for wet traction and doesn't eject the snow for snow on snow traction in the winter makes this one of the best tires in my opinion. Durable as hell I take these on tough tracks from blacks at rausch creek offroad park and harsh class 4s in VT that would slice through any other tire, the Kevlar reinforcement is tough! That being said they are a heavy tire, the 33 was a load range e but the 35s are d so it hasn't really changed drastically going up in size for me. Road noise doesn't start bad but you'll really start it to hear it once they break in, nothing awful but having a conversation on the highway with the radio down and you'll know it's there. Expect amazing traction on and offroad in all conditions from rock crawling, snow, rain, just maybe not mud. For that you'll want the lockers on and to floor it. Just expect that mpg to tank as a sacrifice for the traction.

I have only recently acquired these tires. They are mounted on 16x8 Cragar Soft Eights on an 03' Z71 Tahoe with a leveling torsion key lift. I have a complete new front and rear suspension with an alignment done also. I have apx. 400 miles of highway driving so far on them at speeds up to and sustained at 70mph. The tire noise is minimal, the grip and response thru the steering wheel is excellent. In a couple of months I will be towing a boat weighing abut 3400 lbs thru the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY plus using the truck in the sand, mud and gravel in the Gamelands of NC. I will give an update at that time. No rain driving as of yet.
