Cooper Tyres

Might be OK on something light like a zook.

Agree.. Lightweight trucks I think they would rock, but fullsize cruisers/patrols etc I think they will work well, dont get me wrong there, they will be like the Silverstone MT117s - work excellent, but wear faster than something I cant think of that wears really really fast .. ;P

like a Zyrtec?

Truckster,

Not sure what they would be, and have heard that they are soft. Only time will tell.

G'day,

guy in our club with a 4.2 GU had his ATs replaced under warranty about 6 mths ago(?) Cooper dealer replaced them with 5 STTs at no charge. Must see how they are going. You mention wear being the main drawback, guess that's par for the Coopers. Were you able to establish the main driving traits/conditions that may have triggered the wear or was it no different to the average off roader?

Any soft rubber will wear out fast on the road..

They are softer than BFG/MTR's by a fair wack, thats when twisting the lugs.

Hugh,

Budget, Vic said that it was going to cost $100,000 just to go to regional.

City TV would cost a bomb.

Wayne

dont believe cost would be a factor they already spend heaps with full page ads in mags and they have had other ads on tv for ages

Blokes,
I don't reckon the all-singin'-all-dancin' warranty applies to the STT anyway.......there's no way the STT would last anywhere near 80,000klicks unless it was driven only in a straight line on a bed of cotton wool the whole time!!! hahaha
My ST's are soft enough and if i had my time over i wouldn't have bought them. It's MTRs that I'm saving up for now (unless something else happens in the meantime to make me change my mind).

Come on Davoe,

in my years with Telecom travelling 'bout WA I know I was more up to date with the lateset cattle auctions and farm equipment than the bloke in the big smoke!

yep there nothing like grabbing your lunch and kicking back to listen to the cricket and finding out the price of melons and shawn weathers for the next hour only on "your local abc"

yep, and keep your eyes open at the pub for the lovely, young ABC journos who are out doing a story in the bush for youseall.

As an IT pro I have found the daily update on the prices of lupins, cattle, and john deere series tractors with air-seeder bars and metre change rollers very informative. I dont think id be where I am today without it.
Certainly havent seen any new coopers ads though.
