The Cooper Stt tires are supposed to be the best all around tire. I went nuts for weeks trying to figure out what tires to get in 32's. Everyone I spoke to ranted and raved about the Stt's. Some said they were the best tire they ever ran out of all the tires they tried. And they are not new to the 4 wheeling scene at all. I looked everywhere on the internet for reviews and spend days on all 4x4 forums-- Jeep, cherokee, toyota, ford ect... You name it I was on it. I only wanted to buy tires once. I don't get to ride that often so tires will last me a long time. But all the reviews for the Stt's are--- Excellent in snow due to siping, excellent clean out of mud, normal trails are a breeze, great in sand and water, excellent in rain, and are relatively quiet on the road as well. You don't get all that load hum like you do from a real aggresive mud tire. They also balance very well which apparently is very hard to come by in a lot of the larger tires. The only thing I've read that was not great (which is the same with every single tire made) is that it's not great on ice. But what tire is??

Only way I could see 70k on a mud tire is if it was all on dirt. I don't get any where near that on my work truck with street tires and I rotate them too.

Just because you post pics doesn't mean people are going to believe you. If i wanted to I could say I have that much mileage on my tires and they look brand new!

I have the nokian vatiiva mt in 33x12.5r15 and I love them. Great wear and good on the beach and in the mud. Not bad on the highway either.

That is true as long as you don't go rock crawling, on shale rock with them. Even with my MTRs cut to ribbons from shale rock and Detroit lockers, they lasted 5 years and still had maybe 40% tread remaining, some chunks missing though. Great traction though! I have every tire I buy siped now, cars, pickups, my 1948 CJ2a, the Cherokee when I buy tires for it everything gets siped.
