here's my two bits worth

I have an 88 diesel troopy, it spends probably 80/20% of time on/off road but closer to 50/50% distance on/off road.

We started with 31x10.5r15 on 15x7's Dunlop adventurers and these did not please, until they started to get a bit baldy and were great on sand.

They were discarded as i took up an offer to good to refuse on Goodyear wrangler aquatreads, THESE WERE SERIOUSLY GOOD ON ROAD, but that was all.

Next came a set of Dueler ATs , which proved a nice compomise.

I was then talked into beefing up a little to Dueler MT 33x12.5r15. I was expecting the noise to be terrible but there was no discernable difference. These tyres are the BEST sand tyres i have ever used, and when you let air out, there's plenty of it.

Corners on wet roads on the other hand are a whole new issue.

that's my 2 (3or4) bits worth.

the tyres that you decide to run with will depend on the use that the vehicle will be put to.i have a series 75 ute with dunlop 8 ply lt road grippers which is used off road and these tyres suit my requirements.
if i'm going to drive on the road i do so in my my car. Generally good offroad tyres imo will not drive very well on the road and visa vera good on road tyres will handle off road conditions poorly.
a dual purpose tyre again imo will do neither very well and are but a compromse.

Dear Fish N Track, re Coopers Tyres and the 80ks warranty, in the fine print doesn't a puncture, cut, nick or any other damage void the warranty??

the warrantry on the coopers is only worth anything if you live in the big city so when it comes down to good after sales i will stick to bfg
