I have just purchased a s/hand 98 hilux, the tyres on it are wornout and need replacing. They are
Dunlop 205R 16C . I have no intention of going for wider tyres, that,s my preference, but appreciate any thoughts on tyres for the above vehicle. Have spoke to one tyre dealer who I have traded with for many years, he suggested TOYO 205/16, said they had a good run with them etc. I don,t want to focus the replies, but what about COOPERS? I own a
farm near
Echuca, but intended to do as much 4x4 driving, outback tripping as I can, but will also need to drive into town etc. Thanks in anticipation for your time and reply. Des

Des, I have just put 10,000 kms on a set of Coopers and am extremely happy thus far. Will be giving them their first real
test over the next couple of weeks. Many people claim them to be noisy on the black top, but having a diesel (1990 DC Hilux), I really can't notice, and they hold on in the wet on the black top better than I had anticipated aswell. This isn't to say though that other brands aren't as good (BFG,
Dunlop etc), and i'm sure you'll get some more posts to back this up. In the end it usually comes down to each to their own. cheers, Sam.

I have a friend at the moment that is travelling through the middle of oz and he put a set of coopers on before he left
newcastle and he had only done ten thou when he got hes first blow out and when he went to by a new 1 they said they dont give them warranty up here so he said he will never by them again also he got a nother tyre later on with side wall damage so he has swaped to bfgs.He reconds there not as good as they say already hes had a flat. Al i can say i have had bfgs and ithought they were bleep wear to fast and no good in mud at all So a brother (been in the tyre game 4 ten years} put me onto hankook and ive had them 4to 6 {2 sets}years and never had a flat touch wood and i have been all over from the cape to frazier
