The Pirelli A/T is a great compormise tire that performs well onroad and does well offroad too. If you want it for winter driving I might suggest having some extra siping put into it for ice traction (not too much though...lots of siped could cause problems) but otherwise I think it will serve your needs well. The S/T is more of a street tire and not really intended for offroad use. It would probably be OK for light duty though. I don't know anything about the Cooper.
If you are looking for a 31" tire I would probably recommend the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo over anything else. I've heard nothing but great things about them and will probably replace my Scorpions with them. Generally speaking you can probably expect less noise and fewer balancing problems with the Bridgestones than with just about any other A/T tire. Balance is the only problem I seem to consistently have with the Pirelli's (and I've had two sets)...the tire guy needs to get it dead on or they will shake. Perfectly balanced they are great driver's though.
