They're HERE!! :wings:
As some of you may know, Cindy and I have been running 37x13.50R17 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro M/T tires on our 2012 Jeep JK Wrangler, also known as Rubicat and a much smaller 225/75R16 version of it on Renny, our 2015 Jeep Renegade and we've been so impressed with how well they perform, we've literally been chomping at the bit to get them in a size 40 for Moby. Well, I'm happy to announce that Cooper Tire is finally making these awesome tires in a 40x13.50R17 and we just got a complete set of 5 of them in today. Needless to say, you know what we'll be working this weekend.
For those of you who aren't aware of it, the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro is a replacement of its predecessor which was just called the STT. According to Cooper, this new tire is their most advanced and extreme to date and in addition to it's new and more original tread design that features an aggressive "3-2 center rib design" and shoulder lugs they call "side-biters", the new STT Pro comes with an all new "silica tread compound" and improved sidewall strength through heir "3-Ply Armor-Tek3. I should note that unlike the 37x13.50R17's which come in an Load Range E, these new 40x13.50R17's come in a softer Load Range C and that means they will offer a softer ride. Of course, what we love most about Cooper Tires is that they're made right here in the U.S.A.
With all that said, here are some shots of what we just got. Drool away :drool: :crazyeyes:
WooHoo!! Our new 40" Cooper STT Pros being delivered.
Moby excited to be getting new shoes.
Closer shot of what these 40" Cooper Tires look like.
Granted, our old Toyo's are mounted and inflated and of course, have a few miles on them but just for fun, we wanted to see what they looked like next to a brand new STT Pro.
Here's a side shot of what it will kind of look like installed.
And here's a closer shot so that you can see the sidewall in greater detail.
Close up shot of the Range C listing and the stated 40x13.50R17 size.
This is what we always love to see - MADE IN THE U.S.A.
And finally, a close up shot of the STT Pro's super aggressive tread pattern.
ADDENDUM: Because I know a lot of you were wanting to know, Cindy and I took a few measurements and weighed a few things and I think you'd be interested to know that a brand new 40x13.50/R17 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro unmounted weighs 91.5 lbs., has an actual footprint that measures about 11-5/16" and a tread depth of about 11/16".
I'll be sure to post up more pics once they're installed and maybe try to get a video in too
