I would definitely go the 10ply route but that is kinda steep for tires I haven't seen really reviewed or pushed to the limits yet

Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinkin’ too... on both statements! The 10-ply would be the way to go, but it does seem like quite a bit of $$$! I would love to hear someone else’s experience with them!

I am curious as to why you would put the E rated on versus the C rated ? Even loaded down pretty good, I would think most overlanding type vehicles would not overload C rated tires.
Um... because more is better??? Honestly, the only reason why is because the jump from C to E is like $10/tire.
I checked at Costco this evening - while I was there donating to their shareholder’s retirement funds - on some KO2’s and they are less than $220/tire installed with the same basic benefits that buying at Les Schwab would bring me. Additionally, it sounds like they may be having a bit of a sale on them coming up soon that would at least offset to cost of the mounting.
I think I am putting a rush on myself that need not be there because I want new tires on a new rig... “Patience young Padwan”. Besides, after the absolute fiasco my wife and I just went through trying to get a Yakima roof box on the 4Runner in the dark for a camping trip this weekend, my new rig investment may need to be into a new Gobi or BajaRack. I think my 3 year-old just learned some new words from Mommy and Daddy...

As my research continues on the Coopers, I ran across a review for the non-XLT version that I thought was interesting:

I will be pling the trigger on a set of these in 285/75r17 in about 2 days. I will be sure to post pictures and an initial review. I'm very optimistic. Also regarding pricing , I found an eBay seller set of 4 shippdd to my door $900 .Not bad considering k02 would cost me about $1200.

Hey Cody, with that tire size do you have a lift on your vehicle ?
I have a Fj Cruiser and am not sure if that size would fit without lifting it a little.

I'm running a 2.5 tereflex with rancho 9000xl's. Provided probably about 3in. From all the reasearching , the 285/75 should be a great fit with proper backspacing .

You ordered a set of the XLT or is it the LT? I was just pricing out tires, but am looking for 275/70/17 and the XLT are not available in that size so I am looking at the LTs since regular AT3s are discontinued now... just more curious ;-)

Well after seeing these tires on your vehicle I'm pretty sure I will be putting a set on my Fj. They really look good on yours.Before and after , it's like a new vehicle , tires look great and drive even better. I can't wait to really get some miles on them

I just hope I can get that price when I am ready to order them. Thanks for your input and pictures.
Agree 100%!!! We went with Faulken Wildpeaks after putting nearly 100 000 Kms on our Cooper Stt Max and will be switching back as soon as we can. Wildpeaks were perfect for our Moab trip, but we find when the temp dips below -15 C they freeze solid and don't provide any traction. Cooper's met our Canadian winter needs and wheeled perfect in Moab, best overall option for us!

Ya , if I was you I wouldn't hesitate. I wish I could convey the driving difference to you. I don't know why I switched out of Cooper's on other vehicles , I have never had a problem. Regarding price even if I had paid 1000$ for them I would be perfectly ok.
