Anone have the June issue of Peterson Offroad Mag?

Supposedly they have a comprehensive review of Mud Terrain tires in that issue and I'm looking for what they say about the new Cooper Discoverer STT - as I'm looking to get those soon. So, if you have it could you paraphrase what they say about them in the mag.

Thanks,
John

I'm not sure I saw any Coopers in the article... I think it was mainly Interco... Could be wrong though.

I'll try finding the mag.

i've got it, they say they work good on just about everything but slick rocks, being a rather hard tire. that means they should wear well, but not be as sticky as something like a swamper

Yeah, the hard rubber is why they last so long. I knew someone with the old ones as well and you could not move the lugs with your fingers. Hard as a rock!
