I've had two sets so far, the latter a set of 31s I still run.  Mine are actually Hercules, but are the same tire from the same company, just different name on the side.  I have 40,000 miles on them and could probably stretch another 7-10,000 mi out of them with decent driving, and I don't drive slow.  They work surprisingly well in every situation I've had them in, which ranges from DD duties to some pretty sloppy stuff when I'm hunting.  I don't rock crawl, but would figure they're fairly decent on the rocks considering how hard I can rail em on the street.  I couldn't believe how cheap they were and how good the warranty was, $400 otd and free replacement no questions asked till 50% tread, then prorated after that.  Lilbuddy had some too I think?

Look into the crawling team they are sponsoring...they have some good things to say about them...
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

I ran those coopers on my tow rig and they are a great all around tire..I got 45 K out of mine and still had some life left..mine were siped and did great in snow ice mud and sand..Like I said not an extreme  off road tire,,but I was happy with mine..they got my dodge through everything I threw at it,,and i always tow at max weight for the most part..
Forgiveness is between them and god..
Its my job to arrange the meeting!

Cooper makes a lot of tires for Les Schwabb too, keep an eye out for their wildcountry ext?  They have identical tread to the previous style of coopers stt.
