Which kind? There are AT, ST and STT versions of the Discoverer. I almost got the Discoverer STT (MT), but ended up getting a great deal on Rubicon rims and MTRs. When these wear out I may still go for the STTs. My father in law runs the Cooper AT on his KJ with no problems at all.

I run the Dicoverer STT (235/70 r16). It's a great tyre on and offroad. It tends to whine abit at 25-35 mph but not loud. It works great in the mud at about 25 psi.

I want to run 255/70/R16 STT on mine..Right now I'am saving up for my tires. Looks like maybe in a few more weeks I will have them. Can't wait.

My neighbor has the STT on his 4 inch lifted Chevy P/U and LOVES them.

I had the STTs on my '04 Ram 4x4 and they were the most awesome tires I ever had. I miss that truck sometimes... :cry:

I got the Cooper STT's ---not the radial ----the other ones.

Great tire. Just make sure you get a good allignment so you dont eat up your tires. And rotate after every 3500 miles. I waited to 5000 and wish I had done it sooner.

Used to have ST's on a Landrover Defender, I think they're a great all terrain tyre. That's I went with the STT's for the KJ. :)

I have Cooper Discoverer S/T 265/70R16(30.7 inch diameter) on stock renegade rims with a 3 inch lift. They perform great offroad and handle just fine on the road. I didn't get the SST for two reasons: First I thought the tread was a little too aggresive for my driving habits,, mostly to work and weekend trips to WV,, 3-5 hours each way. I didn't want to hear the whine. Second is that the rating on the tires weren't as good,,, I think it was a softer rubber, can't remember,, but it had to do with rating system,, I think.
