Only ONE set left on the east coast!
 
I got the next to last set of Co-op Grip Spurs in a 31 inch size today! Can't wait to get them mounted.

They still had full sets of 7.50-15LT and a few others, but the 9.0-16 were bought out by some Power Wagon guys a few weeks back.

Essentially a rebadged Buckshot Mudder now that Gateway is gone. Seems that the Co-op folks won't be making any more either.

If you want to grab a set, look up the Orange Madison Farm Co-op in Madison VA.;)

Like already said, Nice find! I wonder if some other tire company will pick those up again?

9.00 x 16 in lug pattern rock. They were the first tires I had on my 59 after it was converted. Pretty noisey. Switched to M/S radials when then wore out since I was spending more time on asphalt then off road.

The 9.0-16 sold out last month. All that is left are 7.50-15 and L78-15( these all run a little big)

Great for a stock height truck that needs the grip but you don't want to throw lift and big tire $$$$ at.

As I understood it, Cooper has the molds and would make limited runs every few years for the Co-Op company of Missouri(I think that's the name). According to the folks at the co-op here in VA they can't get them any more. At all. Ever.

If we are lucky, maybe STA(They took over McCreary/Denman) could take over production. They do the old Trailbreaker bias tires and a bunch of military and other old school reproduction as well.

Oh NO! No more Buckshots! Those are the ones I run on my race truck. I have 7 of the P-78/15. I usually go thru 2 a year.
When I saw this post, i called my friend at Gateway tire in Ohio where i get my Buckshots from, and he confirmed that they are no more.
Looks like I need to find another tire.

Does this mean there are no more 9.00x16 Power Kings either? It was my understanding they were made at the same factory.

I guess we need to contact the mIssouri CO-OP...or what ever the company is and tell them we want more GRIP SPURS!
