Impressive

Installed 35" cooper stt pros

According to a decibel-gauge application on my mobile, acoustics increased from 75-76 to 77-78 decibels.
Needless to say, negligible.
There is a slight whirring akin to 50/50 offroad bike tires if you're familiar. But I'm fairly certain it'll tone down within the first few hundred km as sharp edges taper off with use.

Let us know of notice any significant change in ride quality/handling.

Installed a Ford Performance Rear Diff cover. As others have said, great quality, more stout and more lube capacity. I did this at 390 miles and had no problem removing the OEM cover. The surface rust came off easily with green Scotch-Brite pad. I flushed the remaining oil with an extra quart if AMSOIL, just very **** retentive.

Took me 2 1/2 hours. Took advantage of the spear wheel being removed and cleaned it/coated with Nyalic.

The instructions call to torque the bolts to 25 lbs, but everything I read and videos said 14lbs, so I opted with 14lbs.

I took mine in for its first oil change Wednesday and also asked that the tires be road forced balanced.

Upon getting it home and getting underneath it, there was:

• Excess oil dripping down from the skid plate;
• A missing bolt on the cover from the passenger side that has to be removed, along with 2 broken u-nuts;
• Weights installed on the wheels that don't clear the brake calipers; and
• My wheel barrels are all scratched up where they used a screwdriver or something to get the old weights off.

Needless to say I wasn't happy and it's going back on Monday for them to "fix" it.

Reason mine only goes to the stealership for warranty work. I use a place that does nothing but tires. No brakes, no oil changes, and lots of high end cars. They have never put a scratch on any of my wheels. This includes Shelby anniversary wheels on my GT500 that are 4000 - 5000 a set. Owner has had two raptors and has a GT350R now.

I do my own oil changes. Fumoto makes that a breeze. No drips, or oil running anywhere.

Those Coopers are a phenomenal tire! Seem to be underrated in the Raptor crowd. I run ST MAXX myself.
