I swear AT them! I had a set of 9.5x30 Cooper Discoverer S/T and they were the WORST tires I've ever run. In spite of the aggressive looks (and aggressive sound) the traction off road sucked. Also, my so-called 30" tires measured 28" in height, same is the stock tires (actually slightly SMALLER than stock). I went on a trail ride last March along with some others from this board. Gocntry still had the stock Goodyear R/T's on his and he had better traction in the snow and mud than I did! I now have Goodyear A/T's on my crew and besides being quiet, they out perform the Coopers in every way. I will never buy another Cooper tire.

My uncle has them on his Ford Expedition. THEY ARE CRAP!!
I've crawled up muddy/snowy hills in both my stockers & Dueler Revos in 2wd. He had to use 4wd & the tires were spinning & he was going nowhere.

From what I hear those were designed to compete with the Goodyear MTR's. I have not seen them, but heard that they too have an extra sidewall ply, and I am not sure but they may also employ some sort of puncture resistant technology.

Kelly Safari MSR's have gotten really popular in my area. They're advertised as an all terrain, but they as aggressive as some MT's. Anyone had any experience with them? My brother-in-law has some on his Z71 and they ride good, and have great traction, but I don't know about mileage. Any thoughts?

I'm running them and so far like like them, I have only done some minor wheeling with them so far, but am happy with them
