I have a 2014 Ford Raptor with Cooper stt pros. It's a daily driver. I purchased the truck with 84,000 miles on it, over two years ago. The tires were already worn down a good bit from new at time of purchase. However, I now have 132,000 miles on the truck and still have some life left in the tires. I have taken them off road numerous times, through mud, rocks, rivers/creeks, snow and gravel. They have never let me down AND I have never had to air them down. I have not had them in sand yet though, so I have no input there. So how I see it, they have got me out of every situation I've been in, including been buried deep in the mud up to my head lights and they have excellent wear and haven't cupped or worn weird at all and I now have about 50k miles on them since I purchased the truck and they weren't new at that time. So they last a long time, they aren't loud on the street, they offer excellent traction in any situation and they are in my opinion one of the best looking tires out there. That being said, I am now faced with needing a new set of tires soon and really want the Coopers again, ut I'm having a hard time finding them. So I may be forced to try the Mickey's. I'm running 35x12.5r22s. I also have a set of Nitto mud grapplers on a set of 17s, they are LOUD on the street, so I don't run them much unless going off road!
Cooper manufacturers the mickey Thompson among many others
Both Cooper and MT were bought out by Goodyear.
I haveStt pros on a 2500 Ram..its a daily driver and a tow rig and my hunting truck..is off road from September to December and has never been stuck..love the tires..
I was running the interco cobalts 35x12.50x20s got stuck quite a bit ! I got the Baja Boss and they are bad ass! I haven't been stuck since and have even gone through what I got stuck in with the cobalts in two wheel drive ! Awesome tires !
I have Baja Boss 35x12.5x20’s on my 4th gen Ram 1500. Had them for a nearly 2 years now and the tread is amazing. They handle all sorts of terrain like a dream (dirt, mud, rocky, wet, etc) while also being great for daily driving to work. No issues.
I run stt pro on my ram 3500 I use it to pull a 30 foot fifth wheel try as well as my hunting truck on mud snow and all other terrain in Utah andwyoming I love them and with careful maintenance they do a damn good job
I'm running the Baha Boss in a 37 12.50 17 on a jeep jkur. All I can say is Holy Crap! These things are BY FAR the most capable tire in the Ohio mud. Clean well and fantastic traction. I went to Redbird SRA recently and was going through some nasty mud that I thoufg for sure I would be witching out of and it walked right out. I'm talking 3 feet deep easily and never even struggled where my previously owned Patagonias would have had me out in the mud pulling line. I've never used the STT pro and actually would have if they were in stock at the time I purchased them, but boy am I glad I got the Baha Boss! I'll not be running anything else anytime soon.
How did they do in snow?
@TheSavanto we didn't have a ton of snow this year. I went out every time we had any and there was never anything that even remotely challenged them.
@@rticul8862 I go over a few passes in north California and they shut them down it gets so bad so debating this or the AT
@@TheSavanto as long as they are rotated religiously, you'll be super happy with them.
I can vouch for the Cooper STT PROs, ive ran a set on my chevy 2500hd for 6 years and they wear like iron and are quiet for a mud tire! Still got alittle more than half tread with over 20000 miles of use and they are phenomenal in deep snow, ice, rock, and dirt.
what kind of vehicle do you have?
I have an 04 Tacoma I'm going to try the mickey Thompson Baja boss mt's from you guys just about to take in the shop 4 a SAS Dana 44 full chromoly set up with gears and locker
I love my 32x11.5 coopers on my 96 Cherokee only had to air down once in wet sand at pismo
I have a set of stt pro's on my 96 Dodge Ram with a 2" lift. They are only 33-12.5-15 but I love everything about them! Been through some deep mud, climbed some good size hills and drive the truck daily. Only problem I have had is they are not good in shallow hard packed snow ❄️ I would recommend them all day because they give me about 2 mpg more than the last tires, not very noisy and I have never gotten stuck where I wasn't able to get myself out fairly easily!!
I got stt pro 37-12.50r17 on mine and rides like a charm! Quiet enough on the road and has performed amazingly off road.. I’ve ran these on both rocky, muddy and snow conditions and always do amazingly well. Will be purchasing another set soon. Btw I’m in California and off road my jk in all seasons including some overlanding
Mate... thank you for having such a great website with all the information like weight and diameter with a easy search function and a good range. Unsprung weight is not a big topic in Australia so our local dealers don't tell you that information. Cheers
Hey guys great review! I live in West Virginia I have an 02 jeep tj on 35 12.50 15 mickey baja boss. I LOVE em! They do everything I could as of them. I daily drive my jeep an wheel the snot out of it on the weekends. Mud, rocks, dirt roads, gravel roads no roads you name it. The mickeys do great! An a decent price for a badass tire. My buddy has a jk on 35 12.50 17s sst pros an he really likes them. I've run Mickeys for years an when these came out I had to jump on em. Keep the reviews comin guys!
Really like the looks of the Cooper stt Pro
In my home alone, we have both. On our 81 CJ7 we are running the cooper stt pros. It’s a crawler mostly but does hit the street occasionally. On my 98 Jeep TJ I’m running the MT Baja boss in a 40 inch sticky. It is also mostly for crawling but sees occasional road use. The Baja boss in a sticky performs amazingly. They have a slight edge so far on the STT pros. But this could also be drivers. Both are absolutely the best tires I’ve owned. I also run the Baja boss on my 1ton swapped 98 Dakota sport in a 37” non sticky. As for that, it’s a daily driver and occasional crawler/overland rig. Best tire I’ve ever purchased as far as wear, trail grip, mud, and snow. I have had most extreme mud terrain tires. From boggers to radials. Both the STT pro and the Baja boss are the only two tires I will purchase. My bias is towards the Baja boss. But my buddy who runs the coopers, is set on them. I guess it’s preference. I’ll be ordering 2 tires next month with some new wheels for my dodge from trail built. So, if your looking for some serious builds to sponsor.....
Awesome review! Thanks! Send an email over to Thurston@TrailbuiltOffroad.com and we can discuss our ambassador program!
I'm running the Baja Boss M/Ts on my XJ and they are sooooooooooo good in the dirt, rocks, mud, and on highway. I can't imagine a better tire in M/T and expect the new A/T version which is snow certified to be just as amazing.
Sticky?
I'm in Las Vegas and my JKUR is my daily driver and I have 35x12.5x17 baja bosses. They are pretty quiet on the road and do great in sand and snow and on rock. They are all around my favorite tire ever. Love the aggressive look and sidewall tread.
Happy to hear man! Are you running a lift, or leveling kit?
Yes I have a Metalcloak 3.5in Game Changer which also performs amazingly. I promised myself that I wasn't going to cut corners on this build and I'm very happy. It is an every day driver that is more capable than I'll ever need it to be realistically.
STT Pros 285/70/17 on 2013 Nissan y61 Patrol. Used for everyday driver however its also used for touring and weekend warrior tracks where no track is missed. NSW Australia
I love my Cooper ST Maxx, I want to try the at3 XLT and maybe the new rugged treks
Currently running cooper stt pros love them go through anything but just ordered a set of baha boss the cooper's are just loud so hopefully the baha boss are a little quieter
Just out 5 brand new Baja Boss’s on my Jeep a month ago and after watching this video I realize I mounted 2 of them wrong side out . SOB!! I was concentrating so hard on the outer edges to see if there were any differences I missed looking at the inner tread. All the while missing the words inside and outside written on the tire. 🤦♂️ Guess I’ll be breaking a couple tires down again. FK me running. Glad I watched this video.
My decision has been made. Going with 35" Baja Boss on my 2 door Base Bronco. Keeping the stock steelies and tires for winter though. And when those wear out I'm going to put some 33" snow tires on the steelies.
.... I'm in Minnesota so whatever rims I decide to go with I don't want them getting all eaten up by Minnesota winters so that's why I'm not going to use the Baja Boss' in the winter.
I’ve been running the Cooper STT in a 32x11.75x15 on my TJR for 20,000 miles and have been nothing but impressed. Decent wear I’m probably at 50-60% tread left and my Jeep is driven on every type of terrain but mostly gravel and off road. They have yet to let me down.
I just purchased the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 35x12.5x17 load "D", 8 ply LT tires for my 2019 Ford Raptor.
I run the STT pros on my well tending truck, it’s rare I have to chain up, things are great.
Yj rock crawler with 1tons coilovers. Mix of desert running and rocks and daily driving. I chose 40 in Baja boss. Love the look haven’t gotten to test it yet
How do they work on your rig?
@@jasonadams4344 they look awesome, still doing the whole transformation, haven’t ran em yet
Regards to you and the team from Australia 🇦🇺.
Cheers Squeek! Thanks for watching!
I love my STT Pro's and have 70k miles on them (Ram 1500). I wanted to try to Baja Boss but only comes in an F rating in my size!
Coopers have been rock solid for 50k on my Ram 1500 tow vehicle…I just ordered the same size 35x12.5r20 for my Jeep JL Ultimate Sahara with some new rims.
I had to skip 4 ads to see this video it must be very good
i have a 1987 toyota pickup 4x4, im thinking on putting a 33 set of tires, i live in sonora mexico, mostly desert, beach and river conditions, which one you reccomend me, i really like cooper discoverer stt pro
I have the Cooper STT Pros on my 07 FJ. I’ve taken it on trips out west from NE Ohio. It rides well on highway and while in Ouray and Moab, aired down to 12 lbs, performed really well. I just bought a 21 JLU and am seriously considering installing STT Pros in a 35-12.5-17.
Are your STT Pros bead locks, or did they hold the 12 psi OK in Colorado and Moab. Thanks!
I know it's been quite some time. I just put Discoverer STT Pro 305 65 17 on my 2007 FJ. I love them. The way they handle and climb along with regular trips to the supermarket. One problem. I have a 3” inch lift, 1.25 spacer, and BMC on both sides for proper fit. I still run into a rub issue on the driver side when pulled hard left. Is it possible to damage the structural integrity of FJ by grinding down more with 4 1/2 grinder or smacking it up with a knockout and heavy lineman's hammer?
All comments will be much appreciated. Be well and be safe out there brothers and sisters.
All the best.

I’m running Copper stt Pro on a Jeep Commander that gets taken off road regularly and always get comments on how Well it does.
The Cooper’s are amazing on a SAS ole 90s Toyota !!!
Can you do a cooper STT vs Evolution MT
STT Pro's are fantastic trail tires on my FJ40 trail rig for the PNW Cascades, I may run them on the new Bronco when I get that. I do think they might be a bit soft, and therefore wouldn't last too long for my Diesel 1 ton though.
We love our 37's on our 1 ton overland rig. We are considering 40's, but are having ply rating and weight questions. But depending on the trip, our weight can get as high as 11,400 lbs and they are wearing fast. But they drive great, handle well under hard braking and windy roads. Not so great on ice/hardpack, but not too shabby in deep snow! They are sooo good in harsh and rocky terrain though. My only complaints are wear and not good on ice. Tahoe/Reno area.
Have the Cooper STT, 295's on 18 inch wheels on a '16 Ram Cummins. I run them at about 48 psi front and rear. Makes the sensors angry but doesn't seem to cup as bad. It's my daily driver and I like how they perform on and off road, but the first time they touched snow, I knew I was going to have to order new snow tires. Got them for hunting in the mountains in Colorado, but since half the hunting season is snowy, probably wasn't a good choice.
Alfaobd turn that alarm down a few psi and you'll be happier
I have 35’s on my Ram 1500 in stock rime, no problem in snow at all…easily clean out and grip like crazy…no problems.
I've been running the STT pro 37x13.50x18 on the JKU. Daily driven and a lot of AZ rocks under them. I have beaten these tires like crazy and they have been awesome on and off road. UNTIL.. I had 2 sidewall punctures in the span of a week. One to a cactus the other to a rock. Just under 23k miles on them and about 50% tread.
I'm going to the Baja Boss 40 now. Hopefully the sidewall will handle AZ better.
You will need to drop an update after you get some miles on those Baja's!
Just curious, what is the weight of 37?
Been rolling on a set of SST pros daily on a 03 Chevy 1500. Tire performs great on and off road. In the mud and rocks plenty of grip, only in snow did I feel like the tire didn't perform the best.
I have similar experience. Goes through everything except the cold stuff
Yup I have it on my wrangler 37inch and it blew my mind that I never got stuck wherever I went to but one time in snow I got really scared and was a foot close to Rome over the ditch
Same here
@@behshadruby4483 gotta air down in the snow
Wish there were more options for a 42" radial on a 17" rim instead of just the MTR and Irok.
Have tired a few different brands for my truck by far the STT Pros have been the best in my off road driving.
Ran the Cooper's for two years and just switched to the Baja Boss tires. WOW. The Mickey Thompson's are outstanding 👍👍 The Cooper's we're really nice too but, MT's are the best I've run in years.
Which ones are better in the mud?
Mickey Thompsons. They're awesome on rocks, sand, mud and snow. The Jeep is unstoppable with those things. I call them Baja Spiders.
@@danstubbs5032 thanks! I have STT PROs so I was curious. Cheers!
I have had SSTs on 2 different trucks, 38s and 35s, both amazing but absolutely suck up here in the Colorado winter conditions. I had to put a set of winter tires on and but I will put the SSTs back on after April.
My stt pros have given me 0 issues in winter but I'm also from Chicago, but I've driven over massive snow piles with almost 0 problems I have 35s on my 89 burb with stock suspension (only down side) I only had to use 4x4 to climb the snow piles
37 STT pros on our 1 ton overland rig. Love them everywhere, but hardback and ice. Plan ahead on those surfaces lolol!! Pretty good in the deep stuff though. Went through some pretty dense spring snow drifts last weekend with it.
What was the reason why it didn’t perform well in snow? And what tires did you end up getting for winter ?
@@Falcoruss15 My 2020 F250 had serious traction issues in the hard packed snow and I almost went into the oncoming traffic one last time while driving in the mountains towards Estes Park during icy road conditions. The SSTs seem to just not like those conditions. As far as off-road trail conditions they do great, even in snowy conditions, just not frozen icy conditions.
I went with Kenda Clever RT and I have been nothing but super satisfied at the handling and performance they provide. I will stay with them for the foreseeable future. They are even coming out with 37s.
I have 35 inch stt pros on my 89 burb and in the snow it's unstoppable haven't tried mud yet but I'm sure it will tear shit up
Just for clarification. Do you mean that you’re unable to stop in the snow or they can make it through any snow?
@@Denali_Rebel lol I haven't been stuck yet is what I mean
Soo much better with the ears on the outside 🍻
Well they are both made by Cooper so there’s that!
I ran 35x12.50-20 stt pros on a 16 ram 1500 daily they performed great offroad but got very loud and slightly uneven wear i rotated every 5000 but they wasnt a bad tire at all never worried about getting stuck
I have the Cooper 295/17 STT Pros tires on my modified JK. Its my daily driver and I travel to Colorado Springs a few times a year. They are way better than the M/T and BFG's. I've have several sets on my rig and between Michigan trails (mud) and Colorado mountain (rocks/gravel) they seam to grip way better on any trail. Maybe I'm biased, they've never let me down w 30k miles already.. I will buy them again.
How often do you rotate?
@@thisthat5874 I rotate every 3-5 k miles. Hope that helps
I've got 285s on my 2000 tundra, I got stuck to the axles on the shores of Canyon Ferry while launching my boat. With some seriously rowdy rpm, these tires got me out. The spectators said I was throwing grapefruit sized rocks just past my boat.
Mickey Thompson all the way!
Quote me if I'm wrong but it seems the Baja owners are like saying they are just awesome, love it, the STT Pro owners are saying nothing bad and that they are good but not too excited about them? Would that sum it up?
Anyone know how they coopers compare to the Toyo mts?? I’m not big in change and I’m usually only off road for hunting season other than the occasional trip to camp in the off season. The Toyo sidewalk just looks so damn good to me. Atturo got a new my tire out looks pretty damn good to should check that one out.
@Dunder Mifflin how often are you rotating ?
Good review, WHY are the 40" Cooper and MT's so much lighter than a Nitto 40" Trail Grappler? (difference is like 20 lbs per tire!!!)
Why is noone talking about the Evolution MT?
Best new replacement tire from stock 33” on incoming Wrangler 392 ? With a larger size of 35” . It will used all most all road driving , or easy trail driving , Please advise , T U
Cooper Evolution M/T All-Season
My next tire will be the cooper sst pro.
I currently have mickeys baja legend exp 37x12.5x17. They are good in most terrain except packed snow/slush. Theyre not aggressive enough to bite. Everything else, they do very well. Dunes, mountain trails, rocky sand trails, desert, soft sand, ice.
The sst pro will be on 37x13.5x17. The wider profile looks really nice.
Sounds like a good decision! Let us know how it goes!
I’m about to run coopers stt pros on my 23 Tacoma and taking it to the jamboree. I ll let you know.
I've gone through 2 sets of Cooper STT Pros on my 2015 duramax in 38x13.50 configuration. First set netted me 55k miles and second set was on the same pace before I started having front end issues. Chose to stop rotating and just buy 2 new fronts when I had all my front end parts in. Well, front end rebuilt and now I can't find my size Coopers ANYWHERE with no date expected from Cooper. Looking at either 38x15.50 baja boss or 40x14.50 baja legend mtz. 🤔 sounds like I wouldn't be going wrong with the baja boss.
I forgot to mention that I got a nasty puncture on the tread of all places. 2 inch gash! Nothing crazy either just driving logging roads during hunting season. This was also on the second set and one of the fronts so it was getting replaced anyways but still, left me kinda uneasy regarding the tire.
I wish the baja boss had a white letter option.
I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LT 20 inch wheels. Can you help me what size will fit my truck with no issues? I’m bone stock

Do you have any wheel recommendation for the 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness pair with the Baja Boss?
Depends on what kind of driving you will be using the wheels for! If you are planning to take the setup off road, I would suggest something with strong materials, wheels from Enkei, Option Lab, Gram Lights, are good starting points!

Depends on the sizing! I do not see any deals specifically but we will mount and balance the wheel and tire package for free when purchased together.
Great video. Will be buying the Cooper's 295 70/ R18.
Will I be ok mounting them to a 8 inch wide rim?
Thanks
Can you answer my question?
I'm buying the same size tomorrow and mounting them on my method wheels that are 10" wide. They should mount just fine on a 8" wide wheel. You won't be able to air down as much to avoid popping a bead but they will actually be a bit taller then 34.5" tall.
@@leifevenson836 I'm ok if they're in 35 range.
@@nxtgen2b416 35 is what I'm shooting for as well. But to answer your question, yes they will mount on an 8" rim just fine.
@@leifevenson836 that's great news because no one seems to give me an answer regarding this question. I will be ordering mine now
Thank you
I drive 95% on the street but I'ma put the Cooper discoverer S/T maxx E-rated on my '22 off-road Tacoma 6-speed manual. So if i go to hop over a curb or do go off-road i don't have to worry. They make a truck more of a truck + the stock Tacoma tires suck Goodyear Wrangler territory with Kevlar. Just the Cooper E-rated is 15lbs heavier than stock tires.
Cooper in mud I would give them a 7 out 10, cause they really don’t clean much. I found they gummed up a lot. Mickeys I would give them a 5 or 6 out of 10. Same issues but I found didn’t pull as hard in the mud. Cooper I found liked to dig down and mickeys just stayed on top causing me to slid around a lot. On rocks I would give them both a 8.5 out of 10 for both. Mickeys a slight edge on smooth rock. M’s wore flat and the C’s scalloped, both got the same mileages. “12” Jku dedicated weekend warrior and drive to work vehicle. Ps I live a few miles or Kms from work, 10 min drive. For both tires I ran 35,s with r17’s then went to 37’s for the 13.5’s, wide but only for the coopers. I run procomp mt2 now. I live in eastern Canada, aka New Brunswick. I share a border with Maine.
Just clarifing, you got roughly the same milage out of both tires? Thanks for the real world review.
@@robbennett cooper gave me a bit more mileage but not a hole lot, maybe about two months more what ever that’s worth 😂 cheers
I have the Baja Bosses, the snow traction is really poor even for a mud terrain . I believe sidewall strength is their advantage .
I might be wrong, but I don't think MTs do good in snow.
@@TheHitSquadOffroad some better then others. Obviously .
@@rodgood okay. I had the STT Pros on a vehicle a while back, but never got a chance to take them off road before I got rid of the vehicle. I almost got the Baja Boss in 2019, but ended up going with Mickey Thompson Deegan38 MTs. I actually tried them on all kinds of terrain and they did well. I can't speak for snow that much because it was my first time ever driving in snow. But now it's time to pick some tires for my current vehicle and I'm all over the place, so I've been watching more of these type of videos.
@@TheHitSquadOffroad ya cant go wrong with any Cooper or M/T three ply sidewall tire .
@@rodgood yea seeing that kid tires are meant to eject there not many that are all that good for snow. As weird as it sounds snow tires are mean to hold on to the snake and let it stay packed in suppose to get better traction that way.
MT and Cooper were bought by Goodyear recently.
Since Cooper makes Mickeys . You can’t go wrong with either ..
What one can go over 40k miles
Where is the xj build??!
Hows baja do on snow, Minnesota
Ive heard good things about the Baja tires in the snow! I would still do some research online from people who have had personal experience though!
How do both of them flatten out for the sand?
We don't have a lot of experience with these tires in the sand. Hopefully someone on here can help you find that answer. I would expect at the right PSI these could find their traction on sand, but again, we have not tested it. We live in Wisconsin, we have more snow than sand
@@TrailBuilt oh ok np👍
@@skylinezz4482 I have the STT pro 285x75x16 on a 100 series landcruiser. I do a fair bit of sand driving and run 16psi front and 20psi in the rear fully loaded and 16 to 18psi in the rear depending on how much gear i take out. Will sit at these pressures for up to 3 weeks at a time.
We've had our 1 ton overland rig in some relatively fluffy sand washes and beaches around Lahontan Reservoir in NV, as well as Lake Mead, NV sand and they did very good aired down. We are HEAVY though. 11,000-11,400 lbs and the STT pros did very well in my opinion. We're on 37's, but want to find some 40's next go around, but not sure on a 40 that'll do that load rating and still air down safely. We get into some desert, boulders, rock, ice. Any suggestions @TrailBuilt Off-Road ? We'dlike to run some STT pro's again, but not sure on a 17x40?
@@jaysmallen3067 oh nice thats great to hear!!! The stt pros might be my final pick for some tires on my silverado
I think he meant to say Cooper Discoverer STT PRO and not Discover STT PRO lol. Anyways, both tires looks aggressive especially their sidewalls. Love how the tread comes down to the side.
Well uhh cooper and Mickey Thompson are like sister companies I believe
I liked the STT pros on my Tundra. But they got so loud later in their life.
I'm sure they are both made by the same company, Cooper!
Someone with tire knowledge which tire would work for mud,heavy,snow and rain all mixed together lol
stt pro
I seen a lot of Cooper casing issues which would keep me from buying Cooper tire.
Even in the stt pros's??
it's so funny watching other people make people tell them where to go when they climbing or going through a trail i don't get why people do that
I've been running the STT pros on both of my jeeps. I wont buy them again. They both cupped after minimal mileage. Great offroad but not great for longevity
I've got STT Discoverer Pro's on my truck (came with them) and holy crap are they TERRRRRRIBLE in the snow. Much worse than the Toyo Open Country M/T's I had on my last truck.
7:51 24" wheels with mud tires...?? Unless my tires are 50" there is no reason on an OFF-ROAD rig.
I heard people rave about how amazing the STT's were, so I ran a set. I've never been stuck or at a loss for traction so many times! Horribly overrated tire. I think the only environment they thrive in is lava rock because of the stiff carcass.
I’ve had the opposite experience. They grip like hell and I’ve walked through mud holes that plenty others winched out of
I drove my Dad's 97 TJ with 35" STT's for about a year... all I can say is I am VERY impressed with the grip on all surfaces from this tire. For me I was never fighting for more grip, these tires had as much of it as I could possibly get... only bad parts are the wear and the noise.
Sadly cannot say anything about the Mickey Thompson's; I've never tried them.
They get raving reviews here in Arizona. You’ve got me worried now lol
What psi were you running?
Probably too high PSI, is it your daily?
Ironman Open country MT is the best, loudest, aired down they turn into monkey fingers
Hate that Goodyear bought Cooper .. I hope they don’t transfer their shitty QC over to Cooper ... in my opinion Goodyear has been junk for quite a while
You talled to much about the mt and not enough info on the stt.
Just did 50000ks on the stt pro. 265 70 r17. One nail puncture at the last leg of its life. I’d get another set of the stt pros again.
