Don't buy Cooper Trendsetters!!!!!!!!!!!
When I bought my '77 F-150 it had almost new Cooper Trendsetters on it. I've only had the truck for 2 months and all I do is drive the truck to work on 1-2 miles of gravel and the rest of my driving is on pavement. I've had numerous holes and punctures and the tread is almost chipping or flaking off!

Aren't Trendsetters car tires? And admittedly cheaply made ones at that?
I work at a small garage that sells Cooper tires, yet only Goodyear or Michelen get my money for the tires on my vehicles.
Still, they seem to work fine for all the cars we put them on (that probably don't see the gravel roads, nor do they see 'loaded' conditions).

You are probably right. They probably are car tires. I didn't put the tires on there so I don't know much about them. The guy that had the truck before me always shedded it and drove it on the weekends to pull a camper, so I don't think he drove it on gravel.
Thanks for the input

Hmm.... well, I'd have to add that more important than brand (for the most part) is to use truck-specific tires for trucks (especially if carrying a load of any sort).
We do sell Cooper truck tires when people order them, and I've never seen one come back.
Best of luck with that truck.
