I was very impressed with them other than that but they put the shits up me sending wife or staff off in the rain on tarseal on them.
    I find a lot of the time when people are complaining about the traction of them that the problem comes back to the pressure that they are running in them.
    Most tyres you would run 36-40 psi , whereas with the Coopers I have found that running 32 up the front and 30 in the rear (if it spends most of the time with no weight on the deck) eliminates most of the problems.
    The Cooper has a true light truck casing so you don't want to be running them as high as most other brands otherwise they will jump around and not have a good contact patch with the road.
    Another one of the problems is that a lot of people forget that the utes of today go like a cut cat and are expecting far to much out of A/T and M/T tyres without lifting off the loud pedal.

    I’m on my second set of cooper stt pro.
    Was down south hunting up and down rivers, so let the pressures down for a softer ride over the river stones. Never pumped them back up after that, partly because I forgot, and partly because the on road feel was much better.

    How do you find the STT pro? Not a huge fan of their M/T tyres I don't believe they are worth the price that they command.
    The Yokohama G003 is my go to tyre for a M/T.
    They can be a rough bloody ride with to much pressure in them eh
