Question tire advice for a 3.5 re sf 01 XJ

I have had very good luck with the last tires recomended to me from some members.
I have had Mastercraft MTs 265/75/16.
They lasted a long time and were relatively quiet for the first 35K or so miles.
Someone suggested them because they like them and because they were a load rating 6 - 6 ply tires... thus lighter.
I had a little internal rub from them up front, but only when the wheel was cranked hard.
I have heard the Cooper STTs are good. I can find them in a load range C.
Any suggestions out there.
If not, I will stick with the same.

Thanks

So I'm getting ready to do the same lift, I'm thinking either rubi rims and tires cause there cost effective for rims and tires, general red letter or dura track. Guess we will see when the time comes pretty soon.

You happy with your lift? Aal or full spring?

Personally I don't care for the Cooper tires. I have had 2 different styles of the cooper brand and each time I ended up having the same problem. On one style I had 2 of the side walls blow out on me and on the other style I had 3 of the 4 tires side walls blow out. Never again would I buy a cooper brand tire. That is just my experiences with them.
