Cooper are head and shoulders above Maxxis. I had the 980s and ripped the side walls out while driving down a farm track. Went into a rit with a sharp stone and took the wall out. I have since had the St Maxx and currently running the AT3s. Maxxis run a 2 ply side wall where as the Cooper run a 3 ply where one ply runs at a different angle. This makes the side wall stronger and allows you to run lower pressure. You will get better grip, road handling and longer life out of the coopers, making the price difference irrelevant. Second choice would be the BF Goodrich TA KO2s.
