after reading and talking to tyre guys
I have decided togo for the coopers over all the rest,
Am i doing the right thing?
ifso i think i have got a good dael belmont tyrepower in
perth are $245 for 265/70/16 fitted and balanced.
It was great to read all
feedback as i dont have an axe to grind( I have a chainsaw) and i confident i have made a calculated decision,
I would have gone for yoke's at $60 more and probably been disappionted.

There is never a last word in tires!!! its like computers, your never sure if the one you built was the best...
Go with it, Im sure you will find them good, if not, theres Ebay, where stuff usually sells for more than retail anyway!
And for $300 extra for yokos(60x5) thats more than another tire... They were lots more when i got my BFG MTs too :(

Dougie.
I've run a number of tyres in all sorts of conditions. My best performing tyre for serious off-road to around town is the BF Goodrich A/T KO. Running on Landcruisers for the last 10 years I have consistently got 80,000k+ and in 10 years of
Simpson Desert, Cape, Gulf and a million
places in between have had 4 flat tyres in that time.
Currently ruuning 285's on 16" rims - troopcarrier.
