I am running cooper STT 265/75/16 on my NP pajero DiD and are loosing between 300 and 400 k's out of a tank of fuel, just wondering if anyone has come across this problem.

Hi Ando.
The 75 series tyres aren't giving a false speedo reading by any chance?

Hi again Ando.
I had a set of coopers on my previous NL pajero.NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY COOPERS!!!.
tHE TYRES STILL HAD PLENTY OF TREAD LEFT BUT THEY DEVELOPED TREAD SEPERATION. I sold the pajero & replaced the tyres as the steering wheel developed a strange wobble above 80kph.
I now have have a np model & will replace the bridgestone tyres when they wear out.
Regards.
Vince

I assume you have an AUTO?

If you will find the auto torque convertor is not locking and if your not careful (ie run in 4th) you will cook the auto fluid fairly quickly.

I believe the manual isn't as bad with the fuel...

If you have an AUTO DiD Pajero - I recommend you stay with original size rubber. Unfortunately only BFG make LT A/T tyres for 265/70;16

marq fyi, Simex do a C load AT in LT265/70/16, I have one as a second spare, however I am running BFG's now and are far better than others I have had.

"C" load is no good for Pajero (hence only one choice) - it's a real pain in the >>>>

I guess the other option is 245/75/16 (bit norrower than 265/70/16 - but large choice of brands in L/T's)
