I read with interest the AT tyre
test in the monthly 4x4 magazine. Great
test but I was confused on why Cooper gave then a ST-C tyre as an AT tyre when they have the new AT-R tyre??
Cooper advertise the ST-C tyre as a "special purpose" tyre and even say in their adds in the magazines that because of the softer compound (to minimize chipping) to not expect great mileage if used on roads (therefore not an AT tyre in my books).
Was Cooper afraid to have their new AT-R tyre tested against the rest? This is the way that I read it.
Before I start any arguments - I have Cooper tyres (2 x ST and 2 x ST-C) and are very pleased with them but I am not one-eyed either.
