i too thought coopers were great after 30 000k of malle country, river clay, beach sand, lime stone country and bitumin: had hardly worn one bit and not one flat , was expecting around 80 000, then 7000km later 2 were worn (rather chiped) to the point of un road worthy, plus luggs missing and internal fracture, the front two not so bad, still had 40% tread anlthough still pretty chipped, now 500km later i see some lugs starting to come off these too.
did get $120 back on rear tyre as a claim, but if i hadof done a 15000 out back trip i would of needed another set 1/2 way.
dealer recons i shuld be running 4WD all time on dirt so got all energy going to 4 wheels, he thats why lugs tear off as the coopers are so good at gripping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he lost me there, i went else where to buy MTR's as i had had enough dribble and BS
sorry but if you give the coopers a real
test they WILL let you down.
mate who saw
mine after 30 000km bought a set also ST's and did 30000km trip in highlux and they would be struggling to do another 10000km.
