Re: 31 inch tires
Damn, now I remember that name!
Those tires should be made illegal because they cannot take any water at
all!

Actually, it's two, Cooper Chengshan, and Cooper Shandong, and they are
distributors, not manufacturers, acquired in Feb, 2006.
Cooper tires are manufactured in the USA in several plants, and there is one
manufacturing plant in Melksham, England, where they manufacture tyres sold
in Europe.
There are other distributors in China, in: Baotou, Changchun, Guiyang,
Kunming, Lanzhou, Liuzhou, and Nanchang.
In Shanghai they are in Wuhan, Wulu Muqi, Xiamen, and Zahang Jiagang , and
in other places around the world, but they are not "made" in China.
They are also sold as: Avon, Mastercraft, Dean, Starfire, Kenda, and Oliver.
Cooper is truly one of the last "Made in America" Brands.
I used to sell them, in 13 stores in my old region.

Hi there,
I have been using 31*10,5 R15 maxxis MT 754 Buckshot mudder for the
last 5 years and it has no grip at all when it rains on the highway. I
would recommend them for offroading because they are dirt cheap so you
don't at all worry about ripping bits off. My friends are using
Goodyear wranglers, bridgestones etc and i never got stuck because i
had cheap tires, they get stuck because they have rubbish land rovers
ha ha ha. I drive the jeep mostly off the road so the rain on the
highway is not a big deal for me. But if you will be driving yours all
the time don't go for maxxis. When you hit the brakes you just don't
know when and where you are gonna end up. Goodyear wranglers have
excellent performance on wet tarmac though.
