Which tyres

Gday mate,I think your best to read the countless posts on tyres and try to make a decision then.Albeit a very diffulcult one.
Cheers,

BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A are the only REAL All Terrain. Coopers 'warranty' isn't worth the ink used to print it. I got 88000 out of last set of BFG's, 14000 out of current and the rubber nodules only just starting to go. Run at 42 psi rear and 40 psi front and they still wear evenly, ride is a bit rough but the patrol needs every bit of cornering ability it can get.

Have tried them softer but handles like a sack of $hit....personal preference. they are 285/75R16 (33")


Bag of worms about to get thrown me thinks.

You might also want to look at Goodyear MTR's.
I have run mine for 70,000 and there's probably another 10k or more left. I run 45 rear 38 to 42 front and the ride is great.
I think from memory they are 1mm thicker on the side walls than that other brand, escapes me at the moment B somethings I think.
Anyway, do your research and the choice is yours .
Just priced new ones last week for $285 fitted & balanced.(265's)
I'll grab those and put away before they change their minds.
A group of very offroaders I know travelled through some pretty rough stuff last month and they had 29 punctures between them . Only 1 vehicle got through unscathed and guess what he was running ..........MTR's :>))
Probably tail end charlie. Still....

4wd monthly did an AT tyre test.

Have a look if you are looking at AT tyres.

Try that again.

AT Tyre test

G'day stoodsam
I would be looking at other factors before deciding on ANY replacement tyre. That sort of mileage is very unusual. My Cooper ATR's have more than 50% life with close to 40000 on them!!!!

Have you had an alignment done? was the tyre wear even? what sort of driving have you done during their life? Did a previous tyre perform better on your car under the same conditions? do you run correct pressures (not necessarily recommended)?

All these and a million more factors could have an influence on tyre wear, and you need to be sure you are not just replacing the tyres for another 35000km of exessive wear.

"Any opinions would be appreciated as we thought we were buying the best".

There is no such thing as the best tyre, the best you can hope for is the correct tyre for you.

My rig shows my cars tyres clearly near some deep potholes and the Coopers in that pic had 25000km on them.

Colin.

a cooper rep actually admitted that there tyres perform and wear better in certain parts of our large playground,but wouldnt specify which and where.do your homework and pick what you think is best ,hopefully get it right and not spend the next 70,000km thinking you should have got something else.

I had Cooper A/Ts on the Prado and got 30,000 out of them before trading them in (a bit over 1/2 worn) for Cooper ATRs which have near 40,000 on and are about 1/3 worn. ATRs much better than the A/T.

Also have a set of Goodyear MTRs on other rims and they are fantastic. Not too bad on-road (not as good as CoopersATR) but off-road or on dirt roads they leave to Coopers for dead.

Horses for courses but if you do a lot of dirt/off road work then the MTR are a great all-rounder biased towards off-road.

Have you called coopers about their "WARRANTY"???

what did they say?
