    Cooper STT. Look at my tires next time you see them for wear/tare. I've had them for just over a year now.

    I got the Toyo RT and love them so far. I originally wanted the STT but most of my driving is on pavement so I decided to try the RT and they are wearing well so far. They didn't make the Duratracs in a size I wanted with a 18 wheel. I think @TRON has had a set of the RT's for a while.

    Added Toyos to my list. Will post when I can. They are a heavier tire though.

    I think the Duratracs are a great tire. Are you wanting to try something new? Was there something about them you didn't like?

    They are a good tire. On the upper end of pricing. Thinking about trying something different.

    They didn't wear the best but that was my fault for not rotating enough and swapping around suspensions.

    Want something good for the streets as that is most of my driving but also perform great on the trail. Also be mpg and road noise conscious. I don't want MTs.

    I have both the KO2 (SUV) and R/T (Tundra). More noise with KO2 but they are better rated in snow vs the R/T.
    R/T great here in the desert and quiet on highway.

    I got C/Ts as a recommendation for a "between A/T and M/T" tire that is snowflake rated. They handle great on road, great on rocks, but not near what my Nokian R2s. But then again, there is nothing out there that handles on snow/ice and I need that where I live. I would definitely but the C/T again but they were $80 a tire more than the STT's and I'm definitely going snow tire for winter and swapping out for summer.

    I do like the "in between" look of the C/T though. M/Ts just have a little less practicality for what I'm exposed to

    Ran out of money after the bathroom remodel and Traeger purchase. Will have to wait a few months to get the new tires. Dangit.

    No major plans with the truck anytime soon. Money is tied up. I do have a list of things that will be done when i get time though.

    1. Install the wide angle lenses on the fog lights
    2. Re-tint the rear tail lights
    3. Add the hemoltz resonator to the exhaust , paint exhaust and finalize the shortened exhaust look
    4. Wireup the power fold function for side mirrors
    5. Trailer Harness Relocation

    I recently bought the Power Stop rear kit with drilled and slotted rotors, new calipers, and ceramic pads for $320. No time to install. I can still return the kit. Did you get T.com disco?

    I just edited my previous post. The Power Stop rear kit also comes with new calipers too. My current calipers don't leak but I got a good deal on the kit. I do like Stop Tech kits. Hmmmmm..........

    Absolutely. Right now I have cheap aftermarket rotors and OEM pads on the front. The front rotors are pretty smooth and I'm guessing slipping a little.

    OEM in rear and haven't really looked at them except to verify there is thickness left.
