MTR's or Cooper STT armour?

You forgot to answer question 7 Stan
7) No problem.
I'll do it for you.

Go for the MTR's. Spoke to Dave at Mount Dare when we were out there and he said he had a shed full of that size but none in the new prado size. Lucky I downgraded to 16's.

thanks stan
dumb to not put vehical
old 61 seris wagon
so sounds like 2 for the MTR's
running 31 x 10.5 15" cooper ST at present, love thenm in malle country and on road but no go on gibber

Okay; NOW I'm confused ol' mate!!!!!????? hahahaha (but it doesn't take too much to confuse me!!).

You said in the initial post that you were thinking of 265/75R16...........

But now that you've told us what size you're currently running, it seems to be 31 x 10.5 R15? Am I reading this right? If so, are you looking at getting a new set of wheels as well? Cos your 15" rims won't work too well with 265/75R16s....it could be a bit difficult to get the bead to seal....hehehe

Sorry if I'm sounding sarcastic. In any case......another vote here for the MTRs; I too had a bad experience with Cooper STs and when the dealer/wholesaler wouldn't assist me with the severe chipping I'd suffered, I simply took my business elsewhere; never to return.

Cheers

Hi Roachy
yes i am going to get rims too, as i want that bit more clearance over the 15" set up.
i was replying to stans question of "what am i currently running"?
i plan to keep me 15" and will use when doing fishing trips to coast etc on bitchy as seem more stable for towing boat etc when all loaded up.

Shaker - what sort of mileage did you get out of the Firestone's?
Thanks from Moose

Moose, to be quite honest I am not sure what they will do in the way of mileage, I would guess around 70 - 80,000km. They have done a lot more kms already than my Cooper STs did, they have done it a lot easier with little or no chipping, unlike the STs.
Go & have look at them, they are quite impressive & made in New Zealand, the best news is of course, the price. After my experience with the STs, I will never pay that sort of money again for a trumped up brand name. They (Cooper) are treating Australians as if we are dummies, if you look at the list of top tyres in the USA, they don't rate a mention.

Thanks Shaker
Made by Kiwis - didn't know they made tyes over there.
I didn't like old STs either however I am a fan of STTs. Have had a few sets now and have no complaints with them. But they are wasted on a vehicle that the wife drives during the week. So am after a less aggressive pattern.
Had a look at Firestones on-line and they seem to have a very limited range and none in the size I'm after. Will keep searching for that elusive "best" tyre.
