Pappas,

This was from Quikfit in Canberra. Although from Enquires I made, They seemed to be fairly similar elsewhere.

russell green is the guy i think your thinking of nice guy too.he came to our club bendigo 4wd club and did a talk on coopers and i was very impreesed so i was due new tyres and spoke to the guys jim i think it was at borough tyres in bendigo about coopers.well i bought 31/10r15 st for my 1990 patrol.i was surprised how quiet they were to start with on the road and how well they handled in the wet .got cought out in some huge rain in canbera.i dont do a lot of off road but was invited away for a weekend up at marysville. we me and a cpl of friends got there i was a little shocked i was the only one with a standard patrol in height and tyres all theese other guys had big lift kits and 33-35 inch tyre minimum.any way of we go and i managed to go every where theese big boys went except for a little more under body bashing that they did up and down some really big hills with out my coopers even looking like letting me down infact one of my mates actually jumped out the car at one stage.dont thing he liked the angle we were heading down.any way tried the coopers and loved them dont think ill use anything else now.told a few other people who now use them and only hear good things

Just a question, you say the b'stones
"... definitely better than Coopers"

then you say
" I have no direct comparison with the Coopers, but I would expect the Coopers to be better off road."



You have or havent tried coopers? Otherwise how would you know??? Could be another one of them strong opinion from some very angry person...

Joe,

Can you tell me what size you use on what vehicle,

Dean.

LOL! (breast feeding)

dont worry about the "deal" u got from the dealer do some home work on what YOU need the tyres for and which tyres suit your needs - do some searches plenty of info and debate around. dealers dont have your interests at heart - beleive me

Andrew, thats exactly what I have on my Pajero.

Kezza has a point. Many regular tyre store salesmen simply don't have enough experience of 4WDriving to recommend the right tyres. That's why it helps to find a store that specialises in 4WD tyres. Our guys try really hard to find out what the 4WDriver is going to do and then match them with a tyre that will give them the best solution no matter which brand. Sure we have our favourites, but we understand that budget as well as performance matter. Besides, most of us have sufficient experience of the different brands to help the customer make the right choice. In the right conditions the 693's are just fine. Frankly, most tyres these days are pretty good, it's more degrees of "good" and suitability to the task they have to cover that matter in the end.
