In my case i was using the Gm 12 bolt version so in all fairness i can't say what a D-60 or 14-bolt units are like. I ran one in my 1978 Jimmy with a 310 motor sm465 np205 d44 frt 12bolt rear 3.73 gears and 33" bfg mt tires, a pretty tame hunting rig for the most part. I got stuck in a ditch, tryed joggin her out in 2 wheel drive and that True-trac popped like a walnut. I was under the illusion a $20 u-joint would bust long before my Detroit True-Trac. the 12bolt true-trac is truely a time bomb, it's a weak casting and is only suitable for light to modurate useage. I am now running a powertracs locker and much happyer with that.

I own 265/75/16s on my Land Rover Discovery II and although my car don't have the CDL I didn't get stuck in 15" of clay mud yet. Gets attention from everybody on the street.

I live north of Syracuse,NY in the fabled Lake Ontario snow belt. I ran these tires on an 04 Ram 3500 Quad Cab with Cummins engine, and granted it's a heavy truck but these tires are the worst I've ever had for tread life, 13,000 miles and they're nearly slick!
I use my truck to tow and haul heavy payloads, but all well within the trucks legal capacity, and I run the pressure around 74 psi front and rear. The tires were also rotated frequently and they still suck for wear!
I paid $281 each for these tires mounted and balanced, that was the going rate at all of the local shops who carry this tire. This tire was so expensive and wore out so quickly that I will never buy them again and probably never even consider another Cooper tire again. These tires also experienced sidewall cracking but not bad enough to cause any appreciable leakage.
FWIW I had two sets of BF Goodrich Rugged trails on this truck prior to the STTs and they were superior to the Coopers in every way except mud and snow traction and even there the delta wasn't as large as I would have expected. In terms of value the STT is possibly the worst tire ever made for a work truck. Maybe they are great for all of you lightweight haulers out there but at nearly $300 a piece I expected something much better.

I've had these on my 09 Tacoma (4WD Reg Cab) for 9K miles and they've worn vey well. Highway traction in wet and dry conditions has been good. They're very quiet. I've traveled hundreds of off road miles in the SoCal deserts on mostly sandy roads with some rocky sections and found them to get me through most obstacles without damage to the tire. I've picked up a few spiney hitch-hikers but havent't suffered a puncture yet. These tires work fine for light duty off road driving, but I'd be cautious in situations that require a more robust off road tire.

Have had these tires for about 2 years, been great on my 2002 f150 supercrew 4x4. Mostly used on highway, but when I need to go offroad they performed excellent. I've never had a problem with road noise with these. I had a screw in one. Just drove to Alaska from Mid Texas did great in the Texas heat and through the icy roads through Canada. Gas mileage hasent changed that I know of. But with a V8 truck you expect bad gas mileage. I would recommend these tires to anyone. But they aren't big mudtires if your trying to get in some deep mud you should look somewhere else.

Biggest issue with these tires is the side wall flex. I have gotten used to it but still affects handeling. Seem to be wearing a little to fast for the price. If I don't get at least 50k out of them I will not buy again. Other then that I love the tires.
