        New Jersey is fucking flat. Not much in the way of good trails or good roads.

          I'm having such a hard time picking out a set of tires for my Scout. Modern sidewall graphics make me want to hurl, no i don't want tribal tattoos on my tires.

          I found these Cooper Discoverer S/T tires and i dig these, anybody have any experience with them?

            Had those on a work rig for a while a few years back they are not that bad, they were loud and didnt seem to last very long. On a scout prolly would last longer and I doubt you would ever hear them...... I really like the updated version the St Maxx, much better grip, and seem to wear better.

              Thanks, sleeve.

              I can't really even hear my 15yo mud tires now so you are probably right on that point. I really want an old school(ish) looking tire and the ST Maxx is just too modern for my taste, like most current tires.

                I know mastercraft (cheap coopers) used to sell a very very old school looking light MT/aggressive AT tire that you would prolly like that is similar to the ones above.

                I totally understand your want to go with an old school look and why the maxx's might be a little too much on that scout and those will likely serve you well. I rolled on them for 5-6 months in a heavily loaded 3/4ton dodge in rural PA/WV oil field and pipeline access roads and right of ways, with out a single sidewall cut in all that broken up shredded shale.

                    Yeah, I was at the Delaware Water Gap last year, hiked up the trail, and went "holy shit, NJ has mountains!" I spend almost zero time in North NJ, it's like a different state. I know PA has some good stuff, but with regards to local terrain (40 minutes away or less), there isn't much.

                      The BFG KM2 are pretty old school looking. They have a clean side wall. I have Cooper AT3s on my Taco. They are awesome, but I would go with km2s over the old s/t.

                        Thanks for the advice. KM2s are at the top of my picks for a mud tire but i think a AT tire will suit my current usage better which is why i keep coming back to the coopers. I probably just need to set up multiple wheel/tire combos for the scout like i tend to do with my other cars.

                              This was right off the south fork of the Boise river. My guess is this is at 3400 feet maybe. We've had a lot of warming the last two weeks.

                                For anyone questioning the Moab Meetup I will write up another post a month out from it around the 20th of April.
