"Cooper tyre are crap"

So what's your point?

Sorry would have thought it was obvios - Dont go to a tyre shop for advice on tyres, they will try and sell you what they stock rather than give an unbiased opinion
THATS my point

So why did you go to 3 tyre places recently? Did you want advice on sponge cakes?

I know a good cake shop that can give advice on tyres!

You assume to much or are you just bored.
I didnt go to 3 tyre shops for advice on tyres I went to 3 tyre shops to get a price on 4 goodyear MTR - it called "shopping around for the best price" The advice on tyres was not wanted or asked for but they gave it anyway all they ended up doing was proving they knew nothing about tyres. Seller 1 was not even aware of the changes that had been made to the goodyear range from 10 years ago seller 2 had no idea what ply rating was in the tyres he was trying to sell me and seller 3 actually has the tyres i was buying on his ute and reckoned he had no problems with them out bush collecting firewood

so two thirds of what you told us was carp?

Ahem .... that's a bit radical Geoff. You know evenhanded approaches are not tolerated in these discussions LOLOL

lol!

Anyone else feel a troll in the original poster in this thread?

Fair call gramps it's late on a Sunday night, maybe I'm too tired!!

Then again, maybe Truckster has it in one!

Geoff.

Naahhhh. I thought it was an obviously well researched, fair and balanced appraisal of a product. For around here at this time of the day/week LOLOLOL

Hey Geoff,

Careful....

Don't use too much logic on this site .......

there are too many illogical posters.

For the grammtatical corectusmuses who read these things, please don't crucify me for the comments above

I'm a bit tiddly

Gerhard

so do Boggers

MT are owned and made by Coopers therefore, following this thread, they are crap by association. LOL

All tyres are crap - they wear out

Damage to the tyres may be correct, however it really depends how much driving you're doing in these conditions. The other thing you need to consider is comfort. I've had straight Light truck tyres on a rodeo, I've had HT, and AT, and just upgraded to STT mud tyres on my dual cab hilux. Now I can tell you that I'd MUCH prefer to travel on loose rocks / gravel roads with the STTs. unless you want to be adjusting tyre pressures regularly, the Mud tyres are a LOT more comfortable.
The Light truck tyres last forever and are pretty good, but no grip when it gets wet or tough. HTs are a bit of a waste on a 4x4 in IMO. ATs are really HT with more flexibility. Before the STTs I was happy with the other tyres. I got the STTs on the hilux two days ago and drove a few hundred kms with a bit of gravel and 4x4ing. The STTs are very comfortabe on gravel / loose rock roads - you can't feel the rocks and gravel - the HT / AT you can almost feel every rock. I wonder how much less wear and tear you experience on your mechanical components (suspension, etc). The difference was quite noticable IMO

Duh!!!

"Maybe because they think they are crap"

Or maybe someone quicker beat them to the franchise in that area??
