Wheels and tire setup and why

[hedonist222]

Anyone know what each stock ko2 weighs?

Is the stt cooper in 35 heavier?

I am running Black Rhino Roku wheels in bronze and 37" Cooper Discoverer SSTs. I had black Methods on my Gen 1 and wanted to change things up. As far as tires, I have run them all. My favorite 35" Tire was the Toyo Open Country M/T, it's indestructible but it's also heavy. When I up sized to 37's I knew rotating mass is a bad thing for performance, so no Toyo this time. After an extensive search, I opted for the Cooper Discoverer SSTs and love them. Ironically, the 37" Coppers are 1 lb lighter per tire than my 35" Toyos.

How many miles have you gotten out of the STT pros so far?

How is the road noise compared to the stock KO2s?

Give us the spiel, guy. Road noise comparison, handling on road, MPG’s, and life expectancy?

I just put them on this past summer, so they only have a few thousand miles on them so far. Road noise is a little more than stock, handling is just as good as OEM, MPG is the same. Too early to tell on life expectancy, but I typically wear my tires out off-roading well before they wear to street use.

Looks great! Forgot to ask when asked about noise, what did you do to suspension to get them to fit and what kind of trimming?

currently running Fox 3.0s all around, Deaver +3s in the rear, minor fender liner trimming only. Before I had the 3.0s I was running the stock OEM shocks and Eibach lift springs in the front, which also worked great.

Got it, very nice looking. Do you think the STT Pro's run true to size or large or small? I know the BFGs for the most part run smaller than their mfg specs, curious how the STTs line up to the Cooper specs.

Thanks and I believe they are true to size.
