Cooper ST-C queries

Gossy,
Have had a set of these for around 60000km and they are good. Not quite as good a wear as normal STs km wise but dont chip nearly as much on sharp rocks.

thanks for the feedback. My Coopers are bush tyres only so are currently off waiting for the next trip (Robe in 2 weeks). In that case they should last me a long time if not driving around town in them. As for the road noise I haven't really noticed much difference, though I only have them on the back. The GQ isn't exactly a quiet veh anyway!

Can't comment on the ST-c, but the ST's that I put on for the Cape were a bit of a dissappointment. They gripped well, handled well, drove well, but the wear rate was more than twice as much as a set of Hankooks doing the same trek. (we measured them both) Then closer inspection back at home revealed troublesome cracks appearing where the lugs join the shoulder. This in only 10K! I won't be buying any more of them!

Interesting. I also had the lugs peeling away. Maybe the tyre manufacturers have reached the limit of tread depth before this happens? (coopers have the deepest tread depth I believe which obviously makes the raised lug higher).
