Cooper tyres - a good story

People,
Just had to buy two more Cooper ST-C tyres, I left them on the front of my Patrol far too long and scrubbed out edges - fairly normal.
Moved them around for the second time since new and discovered two were very worn, very bleep off with myself for letting it happen, rear tyres still had another 10-20k km left and will stay on the front till I probably sell it in a few months.
Anyway bought two more, asked the tyre shop what the speedo reading was when I bought the last set, 52000km was the reply, currently the odometer reads 154790 km, yeah thats right just over 100,000km in 18 months.
Corners of tread blocks are still intact, although theres some cracking near the carcass at base of lugs. The Patrol weighs around 2900kg all the time.
Car does arond 50% highway, 40% fast gravel and some mud, (no rocks though). This set also did the Simpson and Coburg peninsula last year when they were new
Feeling much better about the value for money, This is my fourth set 2 x ST, 2 x STC, now and will buy again.
Anyway Im impressed with this and reckon credit is due
