Cooper STT's , Good Value ????

Mate use and I like Cooper Tyres, but I wouldn’t be caught dead paying that much for em unless I had money to burn.

Go with the Mickey T’s or pro comps.

Cause NO the STT's are not that much better IMO

Cheers.

It depends on what your idea of OFF ROAD is. Off road they are good.

My experience with Cooper STT's 265/75/16 OFF TRACK is woeful.

I have $1750 worth of tyres tyres sitting in my shed with 90% tread on them and with stuffed sidewalls. Not much use to anyone, they are.

Cheers

I have STTs in 285/75R16s and am pretty certain that $550 is a pretty high watermark - although I've not tried buying the 315/75's. Try another dealer.

Mine are in pretty good nick after 43,000 of which about 50% is highway, 40% off-road/sand, and 10% off track and mountain goat stuff.

I have staked one of them (sidewall) on mallee root in the Simpson whilst shooting the Simpson Desert Cycle Challenge ... just prior I had been going flat out along a station track trying to catch a cyclist who took a wrong turn, as well as a bit of off-track work - not surprising really, but it was repairable.

They are the right compromise for me.

No way Macca

My 1500km old 255/85/16 Bighorns out perform set of 315 cooper stt (old style) over last week at $240 each and are taller more aggressive and no noiser - and as bonus are thinner and easier on suspension

Write ful report soon

Just for your imformation if the Coopers are too expensive, you can get Hercules Dayton M/Ts which are made in the Cooper factory and are the same pattern as Cooper STTs and at half the price a good deal.

If you like Coopers.

wouldnt touch em with a barge pole !!
not at any price !!
Coopers guarantee is not worth the paper its written on and is only valid on city roads.

Obviously he did not want to sell you a set of big Coopers.
Check all the posts, I seen a new set get chopped up on the outback roads.
Not too sure how they are performing now

Give Laura & Nathan (NSW member--- Diver 1 ) an email to see theirs are travelling 8 months later.

Thanks all for the input. I'm thinking I might have a crack at the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.

Cheers....Greg

STTs that size are retail $388. Your dealer probably is not a Cooper dealer hence the better price on the others - he has to buy them at near retail. Interesting that in SA and NT, Mickey Thompsons come from the same tyre distributor (smile).
