They are FANTASTIC in EVERYTHING. Like a sexy hybrid between A/T and M/T. Great on pavement, wet, dry, icy, great in snow, awesome in mud, clean well, good on rocks..

Cooper ST and ST Maxx but really when it comes down to it. For me it be nearly imposible to pick between the st and duratrac. Both excellent agressive AT options that perform awesome for AT tires in what ever you put them through with maybe the exception of sharp rocks due to them both having a 2 ply sidewall.
The ST Maxx is gonna be your best option but as of right now with having only 8 size options available it limits those who can buy them. They are in the same concept of the duratrac. Awesome in everything for a AT. spectacular in the snow especially but the difference comes into the play with the ST Maxx having a 3 ply sidewall alowing them to take more abuse if you find yourself traversing a terrain where strong sidewall is important.
Even with all that said even in sharp rocks only a few times have I heard of either the ST or the duratrac getting punctured. To me sidewall strength is important but it's really hard to beat the reliabilty and availability of the duratrac and ST.. I've heard next to no complaints on either of those two tires and never heard a complaint yet on the ST Maxx. Partly due to it being fairly new and also having a limited size availability

Off topic, but do you have anymore pics of the front bumper trim job you did? Looks clean.
