After searching a few threads, i am now in two minds... I have an 80 series 'cruiser which sees mostly black top so tyre wear and noise is important, but does the odd yearly long trek- mild touring i guess.
I bought her off my father-in-law who has been around Oz 3 times running Coopers Discoverer tyres. He loves them. But on buying her i saw one tyre's inner sidewall was badly egged and split so badly i was losing 10psi over night. So i put the spare on only to fid it's sidewall was cut badly too.
So i'm biting the bullet and buying all new tyres.
A mate who owns Maquarie 4x4 center recomended MT Baja ATZs for me. He says good things about them, and echoes other mate's advice that the coopers are slippery in the wet/mud. And after reading other's experiences of coopers getting sidewall damage, i guess mine is a pretty good example of that!
I know neither are serious offroading tyres, but seem to be suited to the driving i'll be doing.
Also what is Cooper's eqivalent of he Discoverer as aparrently its been superceeded.
So out of Cooper's Discoverer equivalent and the Mickey Thompson ATZ, can some of you who have experience with either please give me a quick thumbs up or down on each to help me with my choice?
Thanks!
