I wouldnt give a nickle for all the cooper tires both my trucks and 16 ft trailer would haul. I tried switching cause I liked the look of the discover tread and got less than 35,000 out of them. As long as they make Sport Kings ATs I'll never run anything but. Have never been stuck with them either. I got 235/75/15 on my 87 yota and have almost 60,000 miles on them with about 60% tread left. I have always rotated my tires every other oil change and with the exception of the crappy discovers have never had less than 75,000 miles out of them and the yote I have now is the first truck I have owned in 18 yrs that I dont have a lot larger than factory tires on. Within the next month my 04 silverado will have the Spot Kings on it as well cause the factory tires are pretty crummy on dry pavement little lone wet or soft ground.
i have 52000 miles on my cooper at's , had a toyota with sport kings on it when i bought it new got a whopping 16000 miles on them and talk bout bogging you down them kings sure did it

Huh 35,000 miles on the Coursers right now and they show about half tread. I've probably mounted up near 200 sets for folks over the years, Never one problem ever. These I have now have been rotated twice on a 95 Chevy Z-71. I'll take both pick-up loads from you RedMan. Dave

Do not buy mud kings!
Unless you are just offroad all the time. I have a set on my work/hunting truck and I hate them. They do great offroad, but man I can not here myself think on the highway. They ride really bad on pavement as well. I have some cordavan very aggressive ats on my Chevy. They are nice tires and ride, and pull well through the mud also. They are very inexpensive also. 285x75x16s only run around $365 a set. Probably get a set of 31x10.50s for $250.
