The Discoverer STT PRO is Cooper's Off-Road Maximum Traction light truck tire developed for the drivers of pickup trucks, Jeeps and SUVs who want confident, go-anywhere traction without sacrificing on-road performance. The Discoverer STT PRO is designed to provide impressive off-road capability combined with acceptable levels of on-road traction and civility.

Beginning with a robust, chip- and tear-resistant compound, the Discoverer STT PRO is molded into an aggressive, high-void tread pattern. Deep starting tread depths and alternating cleats and scoops in the shoulder lugs enhance traction in mud and other soft terrain, and mud release dimples help the tire self-clean. Anti-stone retention ribs at the base of the tread grooves eject small rocks to assist with preventing punctures due to stone drills. Wide lateral and circumferential channels aid hydroplaning resistance, and in-block siping creates additional biting edges for improved grip in slippery conditions.

The Discoverer STT PRO utilizes Cooper's Armor-Tek3 Construction technology, which features a robust, three-ply polyester casing to improve puncture resistance. Two wide, strong steel belts support the tread and are reinforced by a single nylon cap ply.

While Off-Road Maximum Traction tires, which are often called mud tires, are branded with the M+S symbol and able to churn through deep snow, their typical oversize applications and the relative absence of snow-biting sipes in their large lugs can challenge their on-road wintertime traction on packed snow and icy surfaces.

I had the tires siped from the beginning which is not great for tire life if you have tire abusing lockers but helps very much in ice and snow traction, also helps on slick rock. I am quite impressed with this tire in deep snow which I spend a lot of time wheeling in both deep fluff all the way to very deep 2'+ spring snow where flotation and traction are king. I also feel that the rubber compound is soft enough to have good snow grip without siping, had a set of the original STT's that were not siped and they still did well in the snow...

I purchased this tire for a modified mostly dedicated off roading rig. I had the tires siped from the beginning which is not great for tire life if you have tire abusing lockers but helps very much in the ice and snow traction, also helps on slick rock. I am quite impressed with this tire in deep snow which I spend a lot of time wheeling in both deep fluff all the way to very deep 2'+ spring snow where flotation and traction are king. I also feel that the rubber compound is soft enough to have good snow grip without siping, had a set of the original STT's that were not siped and they still did well in the snow. I love this tire and will probably buy again.

...They handle exceptional on road in daily driving, my 21 mile (one way) trip to and from work on highway was a Brees. The city roads and even the extreme pot holes on the streets of downtown New Orleans felt non-existent...

I had a set of (5) 37/11.5/R17's on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon for 45,000+ miles (all 5 rotated every 10,000 miles) in every terrain South Louisiana can through at them. I also made a 3000 mile trip to Gatlinburg, TN to Buffalo, NY then back to New Orleans, LA in 5 days and they preformed flawlessly. These tires are amazing! Quietest road noise of any mud tire out there! They handle exceptional on road in daily driving, my 21 mile (one way) trip to and from work on highway was a Brees. The city roads and even the extreme pot holes on the streets of downtown New Orleans felt non-existent. The Off Road traction and capabilities of these tires are outstanding! Rock crawling mixed with wet mud on a 45 deg. incline...didn't even break traction with them aired down to 15psi. You want a tire that will give you (in my opinion) the best multi purpose use daily...Look no further!

NOTE: This was my first ever set of mud tires, didn't really expect to get 45,000 miles. I really should have rotated them much more often...I started to get some vibration in the front end around 35,000 miles. Now, part of this was do to not having adjustable track bars front and rear of my Jeep when I installed the 2" Mopar lift causing ware and tare. The other part was the tire rotation intervals...had I done them every 3,000 miles, I would have prolonged the life of the tires to 60,000 mile easily and prevented some of the ware and tare on the steering components. The uneven ware caused by the lack of rotations made the vibrations and noise in the tires to much.

This is my second set. I got 40,000 miles out of the first set. I love the tires. They look killer on my truck. They drive well in wet or dry weather, light snow, ice and not too noisy for a mud tire. I haven't had it off road. Make sure to rotate often or tires will cup and you will have vibration issues that balancing won't fix. I will continue to buy these again!

Customers rate ride comfort highly with many 9s and 10s, praising smooth off-road performance. Some note occasional harshness, but most find it excellent for rugged terrain. Noise levels vary, though scores between 7-8 show solid comfort for maximum traction tires.

My second set of the SST Pro's and still am very impressed with the ride comfort, handling in all terrain types, and longevity. Noise is a little loud but that's expected with such an aggressive tire. Constantly get complements on how they look. I got about 55k on my first set. I've driven over snow covered donner summit and never had any trouble with traction. They're on the expensive side but definitely worth the investment.

This tire is great. Everything it promised to be. Good looking, long tread wear, puncher resistant. The only thing I can think off as a negative is they are noisy and need to be rotated as required. I will buy them again and again.
