Anbody running Cooper ST tires? Have some pictures? Looks like a balance between a MT, and AT. Sidewall could be better though...

Wet traction blows, mud traction blows. dry pavement is ok, and they aren't AWFUL in sand.

Good wearing tire though.

They're cheap. That's a plus.

Here's a good all-rounder, kicks arse offroad too especially when you air down to ~20 psi. They are quite aggressive but they just don't have the lug spacing that M/Ts do. That wide spacing is just for self-cleaning in mud and I had my fun in the mud awhile ago. They are also much less noisy than the S/Ts. See all that siping? They are AMAZING on-road in anything wet, snowy, or icy. I live in Colorado, so driving my Jeep around in the snow while the majority of people wait for the plow to come through is great.

They have a great sidewall, in my opinion, which bites like an M/T would, but probably nothing like a Super Swamper or the likes.

BFGoodrich Commercial T/A Tractions available in 245/75, 265/75, and 235/85 on 16" rims. They are wearing great so far, I've had them for more than a year but only have put maybe 10K on them. They still have at least 3/4ths of original tread depth left, even though I haven't had an alignment for at least a couple months. I got them for $500 through a friend who works at Discount Tire, he gave me free mounting and balancing and I bought the Certs.

I didn't find the ST's particularly noisy

And since you asked for pics...Man...I really wish I wouldn't have looked at this pic, because my KJ looks nowhere NEAR this nice nowadays :lol:

I have heard others complain of noisiness, as with any aggressive tire. My T/As make more noise than a street tire or any less aggressive tire for that matter.

You have to remember that the KJ is easily the quietest 4x4 I've ever owned, and quieter than most of my pavement-pounders, too...so even with the MTR's, noisy hub bearing, and everything else...I still don't think it's that noisy:)
