Default Agressive AT tires - opinions needed

Hi guys, I'm looking to get some aggressive AT tires for my 2003 WG Overland and the Coopers S/T Maxx have been getting my attention.

Does anyone have them and could give me your impressions on them?
Any other opinions on other brands and models are welcomed!

Tks

Dunno about Coopers S/T Maxx, I have not tried them, but always been interested as I like the look.

I had some Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac LT245/75R16 on my WJ and they were an absolutely brilliant tyre. They look great, very low noise for an aggressive AT, handling in the wet and dry was exceptional and I put over 30,000km on them and they still had 10-11mm out of 14mm of tread left. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I will be getting a set for my Commander when my Goodyear Silent Armors wear out.

BTW - Keller TSR tyres are essentially the same tyre as the GY Duratrac, but with a different tread pattern. Usually much cheaper too.

The Mickey Thompson AT P3's look very similar to the Coopers and would be worth a look - at the right price of course!

I will second the Duratracs, had them on my JK for 52,000km with also around 10 mm tread left when I traded it.

I will also be getting another set for the new KL shortly.

I have the Cooper ST's. For me, they have been fantastic and been wearing well.

Good on and offroad, though with that being said I'm at best a solid C grade driver so can't vouch for the truly hardcore stuff.

Little noisy for the missus but really not that bad.

I'm quite happy with mine and would buy another set.

I've got a set of the Coopers S/T Maxx.

My only complaint is that they are a bit noisy compared to the ProComp AT's I had before them.

If I was to buy another set I would go back to the ProComps as they are quieter.

The Coopers S/T Maxx are better in the wet stuff - just most of my time ends up being on the road, sand or dirt.

I picked up a set of Bridgestone Duelers d694 a little while ago, not overly aggressive but handled anything I have thrown at them, handled well on loose stuff, sand and thick sticky mud. They are quiet on the road too. Can't vouch for longevity yet though.
