Before getting my Cooper STTs, I researched my <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> off, and tried to locate the best possible tire for the least amount of moneyà I gave very serious consideration to the Discoverer ST before someone finally convinced me to go ahead and get the full-on M/Ts (Thank you, Sean! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
In the past, on the Rodeo, IÆve had a set of Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts (
a great tire, BTW) --- Followed by 2 sets of Sport King A/Ts (
each consecutively larger û both of which I found to be abhorrently crappy) --- And now the Coopers (
for which I cannot possibly stress the word æloveÆ enough).
If it were *me*, and I was shopping for an A/T, I would not hesitate for an instant to buy another set of Coopers. --- IÆve got almost 30k miles on mine right now (with some of those being rather abusive off-road travel), and as of last Wednesday, I was still showing 12/32 of tread with minimal feathering or rounding.
As for your load-range questionà
The second set of Sport Kings were E-load-rated, and I-for-one would NOT recommend that high of a rating for a Rodeoà Just speaking from my own personal experiences, they were WAY too stiff - far more so than my current C-load-rated M/Ts - and they gave me nothing but trouble and a brutally harsh ride.
Good luck - HTH <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
