:concur: w/Doom. Definitely going with these tires when the BFG's need replacing on my MM down the road.

I put them on the front of my marauder. I had to get them road force balanced but they ride nice & I'm happy with them.

I did these on the front of mine also. They balanced out good, minimal static weights on them. About 4k on them so far and still look great. My guess is due to the fact that I did the car fixer spec alignment. :D Thank god since I was smoking insides on my fronts in 10-12k mi.

Good look, good ride, and hopefully better wear than the oem BFGs...

Doomie says you can do burn outs with Coopers. Could you do a vid to prove him wrong.:D

Looks good man. Luckily my buddy put 4 brand new bfg's on the car before I bought it from him, so I might need tires in 10-12 years considering I have put 2500 miles on the car in the year I have owned it.

How is the "slop" in the rear end? I just put Nitto 850's on mine and they wear great and are very quiet but seem to have more floppy ass syndrome than the 420's did. Next time I'm due I may go for these. I'm also sick of having the truck 255/55/18's in the back.

Do they make a bunch of noise when you go around corners? I liked hoe the BFG's were nice and quiet..

So to try and answer the last two questions, I have the Coopers and am at almost 1 year with them. Results - Still LOVE them, won't consider another tire for a long time. I have no mods on my MM so its not running a supercharger or a tire roasting demon.
However, these tires stick like glue. I can take entry and exit ramps a good 30mph faster without these breaking than with the BFGs. These tires seem to wear decently, decently quiet, ride smoother than the BFGs, and handle great. When they do loose traction they loose and gain it smoothly.
On any of my previous tires on CVs or MM (BFGs, Firestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Pirelli, and Bridgestone) all others would snap into or out of traction. Always throwing you a little. These are not that way. I think of these as more a drift tire, meaning it glides out of traction and glides back into it. They have some squeal but not anything crazy by any means.
