Mickey Thompson Baja Boss vs Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 

Cooper manufacturers the mickey Thompson among many others

I have a 2014 Ford Raptor with Cooper stt pros. It's a daily driver. I purchased the truck with 84,000 miles on it, over two years ago. The tires were already worn down a good bit from new at time of purchase. However, I now have 132,000 miles on the truck and still have some life left in the tires. I have taken them off road numerous times, through mud, rocks, rivers/creeks, snow and gravel. They have never let me down AND I have never had to air them down. I have not had them in sand yet though, so I have no input there. So how I see it, they have got me out of every situation I've been in, including been buried deep in the mud up to my head lights and they have excellent wear and haven't cupped or worn weird at all and I now have about 50k miles on them since I purchased the truck and they weren't new at that time. So they last a long time, they aren't loud on the street, they offer excellent traction in any situation and they are in my opinion one of the best looking tires out there. That being said, I am now faced with needing a new set of tires soon and really want the Coopers again, ut I'm having a hard time finding them. So I may be forced to try the Mickey's. I'm running 35x12.5r22s. I also have a set of Nitto mud grapplers on a set of 17s, they are LOUD on the street, so I don't run them much unless going off road!

I have Baja Boss 35x12.5x20’s on my 4th gen Ram 1500. Had them for a nearly 2 years now and the tread is amazing. They handle all sorts of terrain like a dream (dirt, mud, rocky, wet, etc) while also being great for daily driving to work. No issues.

I haveStt pros on a 2500 Ram..its a daily driver and a tow rig and my hunting truck..is off road from September to December and has never been stuck..love the tires..

I can vouch for the Cooper STT PROs, ive ran a set on my chevy 2500hd for 6 years and they wear like iron and are quiet for a mud tire! Still got alittle more than half tread with over 20000 miles of use and they are phenomenal in deep snow, ice, rock, and dirt.

I run stt pro on my ram 3500 I use it to pull a 30 foot fifth wheel try as well as my hunting truck on mud snow and all other terrain in Utah andwyoming I love them and with careful maintenance they do a damn good job

I'm running the Baha Boss in a 37 12.50 17 on a jeep jkur. All I can say is Holy Crap! These things are BY FAR the most capable tire in the Ohio mud. Clean well and fantastic traction. I went to Redbird SRA recently and was going through some nasty mud that I thoufg for sure I would be witching out of and it walked right out. I'm talking 3 feet deep easily and never even struggled where my previously owned Patagonias would have had me out in the mud pulling line. I've never used the STT pro and actually would have if they were in stock at the time I purchased them, but boy am I glad I got the Baha Boss! I'll not be running anything else anytime soon.

I was running the interco cobalts 35x12.50x20s got stuck quite a bit ! I got the Baja Boss and they are bad ass! I haven't been stuck since and have even gone through what I got stuck in with the cobalts in two wheel drive ! Awesome tires !

I love my 32x11.5 coopers on my 96 Cherokee only had to air down once in wet sand at pismo

I got stt pro 37-12.50r17 on mine and rides like a charm! Quiet enough on the road and has performed amazingly off road.. I’ve ran these on both rocky, muddy and snow conditions and always do amazingly well. Will be purchasing another set soon. Btw I’m in California and off road my jk in all seasons including some overlanding

I have a set of stt pro's on my 96 Dodge Ram with a 2" lift. They are only 33-12.5-15 but I love everything about them! Been through some deep mud, climbed some good size hills and drive the truck daily. Only problem I have had is they are not good in shallow hard packed snow ❄️ I would recommend them all day because they give me about 2 mpg more than the last tires, not very noisy and I have never gotten stuck where I wasn't able to get myself out fairly easily!!

I’m running Copper stt Pro on a Jeep Commander that gets taken off road regularly and always get comments on how Well it does.

STT Pros 285/70/17 on 2013 Nissan y61 Patrol. Used for everyday driver however its also used for touring and weekend warrior tracks where no track is missed. NSW Australia

I just purchased the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 35x12.5x17 load "D", 8 ply LT tires for my 2019 Ford Raptor.

Really like the looks of the Cooper stt Pro

i have a 1987 toyota pickup 4x4, im thinking on putting a 33 set of tires, i live in sonora mexico, mostly desert, beach and river conditions, which one you reccomend me, i really like cooper discoverer stt pro

Mate... thank you for having such a great website with all the information like weight and diameter with a easy search function and a good range. Unsprung weight is not a big topic in Australia so our local dealers don't tell you that information. Cheers

My decision has been made. Going with 35" Baja Boss on my 2 door Base Bronco. Keeping the stock steelies and tires for winter though. And when those wear out I'm going to put some 33" snow tires on the steelies.

Hey guys great review! I live in West Virginia I have an 02 jeep tj on 35 12.50 15 mickey baja boss. I LOVE em! They do everything I could as of them. I daily drive my jeep an wheel the snot out of it on the weekends. Mud, rocks, dirt roads, gravel roads no roads you name it. The mickeys do great! An a decent price for a badass tire. My buddy has a jk on 35 12.50 17s sst pros an he really likes them. I've run Mickeys for years an when these came out I had to jump on em. Keep the reviews comin guys!

I'm in Las Vegas and my JKUR is my daily driver and I have 35x12.5x17 baja bosses. They are pretty quiet on the road and do great in sand and snow and on rock. They are all around my favorite tire ever. Love the aggressive look and sidewall tread.

In my home alone, we have both. On our 81 CJ7 we are running the cooper stt pros. It’s a crawler mostly but does hit the street occasionally. On my 98 Jeep TJ I’m running the MT Baja boss in a 40 inch sticky. It is also mostly for crawling but sees occasional road use. The Baja boss in a sticky performs amazingly. They have a slight edge so far on the STT pros. But this could also be drivers. Both are absolutely the best tires I’ve owned. I also run the Baja boss on my 1ton swapped 98 Dakota sport in a 37” non sticky. As for that, it’s a daily driver and occasional crawler/overland rig. Best tire I’ve ever purchased as far as wear, trail grip, mud, and snow. I have had most extreme mud terrain tires. From boggers to radials. Both the STT pro and the Baja boss are the only two tires I will purchase. My bias is towards the Baja boss. But my buddy who runs the coopers, is set on them. I guess it’s preference. I’ll be ordering 2 tires next month with some new wheels for my dodge from trail built. So, if your looking for some serious builds to sponsor.....

Just out 5 brand new Baja Boss’s on my Jeep a month ago and after watching this video I realize I mounted 2 of them wrong side out . SOB!! I was concentrating so hard on the outer edges to see if there were any differences I missed looking at the inner tread. All the while missing the words inside and outside written on the tire. 🤦‍♂️ Guess I’ll be breaking a couple tires down again. FK me running. Glad I watched this video.

Currently running cooper stt pros love them go through anything but just ordered a set of baha boss the cooper's are just loud so hopefully the baha boss are a little quieter

I run the STT pros on my well tending truck, it’s rare I have to chain up, things are great.

Coopers have been rock solid for 50k on my Ram 1500 tow vehicle…I just ordered the same size 35x12.5r20 for my Jeep JL Ultimate Sahara with some new rims.

I love my Cooper ST Maxx, I want to try the at3 XLT and maybe the new rugged treks

Well they are both made by Cooper so there’s that!

I have the Cooper STT Pros on my 07 FJ. I’ve taken it on trips out west from NE Ohio. It rides well on highway and while in Ouray and Moab, aired down to 12 lbs, performed really well. I just bought a 21 JLU and am seriously considering installing STT Pros in a 35-12.5-17.

Mickey Thompson all the way!

I have 35 inch stt pros on my 89 burb and in the snow it's unstoppable haven't tried mud yet but I'm sure it will tear shit up

Yj rock crawler with 1tons coilovers. Mix of desert running and rocks and daily driving. I chose 40 in Baja boss. Love the look haven’t gotten to test it yet

Regards to you and the team from Australia 🇦🇺.

Have tired a few different brands for my truck by far the STT Pros have been the best in my off road driving.

I’ve been running the Cooper STT in a 32x11.75x15 on my TJR for 20,000 miles and have been nothing but impressed. Decent wear I’m probably at 50-60% tread left and my Jeep is driven on every type of terrain but mostly gravel and off road. They have yet to let me down.

I love my STT Pro's and have 70k miles on them (Ram 1500). I wanted to try to Baja Boss but only comes in an F rating in my size!

I've been running the STT pro 37x13.50x18 on the JKU. Daily driven and a lot of AZ rocks under them. I have beaten these tires like crazy and they have been awesome on and off road. UNTIL.. I had 2 sidewall punctures in the span of a week. One to a cactus the other to a rock. Just under 23k miles on them and about 50% tread. I'm going to the Baja Boss 40 now. Hopefully the sidewall will handle AZ better.

Can you do a cooper STT vs Evolution MT

I had to skip 4 ads to see this video it must be very good

Best new replacement tire from stock 33” on incoming Wrangler 392 ? With a larger size of 35” . It will used all most all road driving , or easy trail driving , Please advise , T U

STT Pro's are fantastic trail tires on my FJ40 trail rig for the PNW Cascades, I may run them on the new Bronco when I get that. I do think they might be a bit soft, and therefore wouldn't last too long for my Diesel 1 ton though.

Ran the Cooper's for two years and just switched to the Baja Boss tires. WOW. The Mickey Thompson's are outstanding 👍👍 The Cooper's we're really nice too but, MT's are the best I've run in years.

Anyone know how they coopers compare to the Toyo mts?? I’m not big in change and I’m usually only off road for hunting season other than the occasional trip to camp in the off season. The Toyo sidewalk just looks so damn good to me. Atturo got a new my tire out looks pretty damn good to should check that one out.

Have the Cooper STT, 295's on 18 inch wheels on a '16 Ram Cummins. I run them at about 48 psi front and rear. Makes the sensors angry but doesn't seem to cup as bad. It's my daily driver and I like how they perform on and off road, but the first time they touched snow, I knew I was going to have to order new snow tires. Got them for hunting in the mountains in Colorado, but since half the hunting season is snowy, probably wasn't a good choice.

I have the Cooper 295/17 STT Pros tires on my modified JK. Its my daily driver and I travel to Colorado Springs a few times a year. They are way better than the M/T and BFG's. I've have several sets on my rig and between Michigan trails (mud) and Colorado mountain (rocks/gravel) they seam to grip way better on any trail. Maybe I'm biased, they've never let me down w 30k miles already.. I will buy them again.

Been rolling on a set of SST pros daily on a 03 Chevy 1500. Tire performs great on and off road. In the mud and rocks plenty of grip, only in snow did I feel like the tire didn't perform the best.

Soo much better with the ears on the outside 🍻

I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LT 20 inch wheels. Can you help me what size will fit my truck with no issues? I’m bone stock

Quote me if I'm wrong but it seems the Baja owners are like saying they are just awesome, love it, the STT Pro owners are saying nothing bad and that they are good but not too excited about them? Would that sum it up?

I have had SSTs on 2 different trucks, 38s and 35s, both amazing but absolutely suck up here in the Colorado winter conditions. I had to put a set of winter tires on and but I will put the SSTs back on after April.

Why is noone talking about the Evolution MT?

Wish there were more options for a 42" radial on a 17" rim instead of just the MTR and Irok.

Good review, WHY are the 40" Cooper and MT's so much lighter than a Nitto 40" Trail Grappler? (difference is like 20 lbs per tire!!!)

Cooper in mud I would give them a 7 out 10, cause they really don’t clean much. I found they gummed up a lot. Mickeys I would give them a 5 or 6 out of 10. Same issues but I found didn’t pull as hard in the mud. Cooper I found liked to dig down and mickeys just stayed on top causing me to slid around a lot. On rocks I would give them both a 8.5 out of 10 for both. Mickeys a slight edge on smooth rock. M’s wore flat and the C’s scalloped, both got the same mileages. “12” Jku dedicated weekend warrior and drive to work vehicle. Ps I live a few miles or Kms from work, 10 min drive. For both tires I ran 35,s with r17’s then went to 37’s for the 13.5’s, wide but only for the coopers. I run procomp mt2 now. I live in eastern Canada, aka New Brunswick. I share a border with Maine.

My next tire will be the cooper sst pro. I currently have mickeys baja legend exp 37x12.5x17. They are good in most terrain except packed snow/slush. Theyre not aggressive enough to bite. Everything else, they do very well. Dunes, mountain trails, rocky sand trails, desert, soft sand, ice. The sst pro will be on 37x13.5x17. The wider profile looks really nice.

I ran 35x12.50-20 stt pros on a 16 ram 1500 daily they performed great offroad but got very loud and slightly uneven wear i rotated every 5000 but they wasnt a bad tire at all never worried about getting stuck

I've got 285s on my 2000 tundra, I got stuck to the axles on the shores of Canyon Ferry while launching my boat. With some seriously rowdy rpm, these tires got me out. The spectators said I was throwing grapefruit sized rocks just past my boat.

Do you have any wheel recommendation for the 2024 Subaru Outback Wilderness pair with the Baja Boss?

I've gone through 2 sets of Cooper STT Pros on my 2015 duramax in 38x13.50 configuration. First set netted me 55k miles and second set was on the same pace before I started having front end issues. Chose to stop rotating and just buy 2 new fronts when I had all my front end parts in. Well, front end rebuilt and now I can't find my size Coopers ANYWHERE with no date expected from Cooper. Looking at either 38x15.50 baja boss or 40x14.50 baja legend mtz. 🤔 sounds like I wouldn't be going wrong with the baja boss.

I’m about to run coopers stt pros on my 23 Tacoma and taking it to the jamboree. I ll let you know.

Great video. Will be buying the Cooper's 295 70/ R18. Will I be ok mounting them to a 8 inch wide rim? Thanks

I drive 95% on the street but I'ma put the Cooper discoverer S/T maxx E-rated on my '22 off-road Tacoma 6-speed manual. So if i go to hop over a curb or do go off-road i don't have to worry. They make a truck more of a truck + the stock Tacoma tires suck Goodyear Wrangler territory with Kevlar. Just the Cooper E-rated is 15lbs heavier than stock tires.

MT and Cooper were bought by Goodyear recently.

Running 40" on my FJ Cruiser and cant use either

I wish the baja boss had a white letter option.

Since Cooper makes Mickeys . You can’t go wrong with either ..

Hows baja do on snow, Minnesota

I have the Baja Bosses, the snow traction is really poor even for a mud terrain . I believe sidewall strength is their advantage .

Well uhh cooper and Mickey Thompson are like sister companies I believe

Where is the xj build??!

What one can go over 40k miles

How do both of them flatten out for the sand?

I think he meant to say Cooper Discoverer STT PRO and not Discover STT PRO lol. Anyways, both tires looks aggressive especially their sidewalls. Love how the tread comes down to the side.

I liked the STT pros on my Tundra. But they got so loud later in their life.

stt pro

I'm sure they are both made by the same company, Cooper!

Someone with tire knowledge which tire would work for mud,heavy,snow and rain all mixed together lol

I seen a lot of Cooper casing issues which would keep me from buying Cooper tire.

it's so funny watching other people make people tell them where to go when they climbing or going through a trail i don't get why people do that

I've got STT Discoverer Pro's on my truck (came with them) and holy crap are they TERRRRRRIBLE in the snow. Much worse than the Toyo Open Country M/T's I had on my last truck.

I've been running the STT pros on both of my jeeps. I wont buy them again. They both cupped after minimal mileage. Great offroad but not great for longevity

I heard people rave about how amazing the STT's were, so I ran a set. I've never been stuck or at a loss for traction so many times! Horribly overrated tire. I think the only environment they thrive in is lava rock because of the stiff carcass.

7:51 24" wheels with mud tires...?? Unless my tires are 50" there is no reason on an OFF-ROAD rig.

Ironman Open country MT is the best, loudest, aired down they turn into monkey fingers

Hate that Goodyear bought Cooper .. I hope they don’t transfer their shitty QC over to Cooper ... in my opinion Goodyear has been junk for quite a while

You talled to much about the mt and not enough info on the stt.

Just did 50000ks on the stt pro. 265 70 r17. One nail puncture at the last leg of its life. I’d get another set of the stt pros again.
