All of this tire talk sure has me second guessing my next set...might just go back with old faithful BFG AT's. I am finding my the size I like cheaper than the Yokohamas I have been looking at, plus most likely get 20K more miles out of them.

That's where i am at. I know the BFGs have worked well for me. Keep going back and forth about trying the Coopers or sticking with BFG. Just when I think that I will bite the bullet and get Coopers, I find myself second guessing my decision.

I wouldn't mind trying those Cooper ST's, they don't make a 32X11.5/15.

Keep on missing 16" 4Runner rims that pop-up on craigslist, so I can run 265's.

Looks like I can get the 32" BFG AT's for $710 delivered to my door...going to check with one of the small privately owned shops here, to see how much they
charge to mount and balance them for me.

I think I may just stick with BFG ATs. I went to discount tires and was quoted a price of under $750 mounted. Locally, places want around $60 for the set to mount. The guy suggested BFG ATs over both the Cooper AT3 and ST and even the BFG Rugged Terrain, since it's a DD. Even steered me away from the ******** Cepek Fun Country. May just get a set of MTs for a second, more aggressive set, later. Then, maybe I'll get the Cooper SST.

That is pretty good. $790 here for 32" BFG AT's from Discount.

I would save $20, doing mail order...meh, not worth it, since I have to pull the wheels.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
If you're still looking for meats...Copper S/T Maxx
Great aggressive A/T tire.
If you are looking for a 3-ply side wall, this tire has it.
It has performed very well as a DD in all street conditions (dry/wet/snow- haven't had them on super icy pavement yet).
They have worked well in snow, mud, desert, and some mild rock so far.
A bit heavy, but very tough.

Thanks for the input, but the Cooper ST maxx isn't available for 15" wheels. My understanding is that they are more for heavier vehicles. I wonder if the regular Cooper ST, perform just as well?
