RE mud tyres-help? 30-6-08

Whilst Coopers own Mickey Thompson now, I am under the impression they DONT come from the same factory.

Anyway, I run the same size you are looking at, being the MTZ's. I have various type tyres, including MTR's, & have found the MTZ's the best. Excellent in the mud, very good on road, even if a bit noisey. My Micey T 'MTX's' are superior on the black stuff, but in reality comparing M/T's to A/T's is like comparing apples to oranges.

Must admit not as good as the MTR's on rocky stuff, but overall nothing to complain about.

Never run the STT's, but have a few mates who have & said they would never buy them again. Various reasons from being average on road & nothing to rave about in the mud.

At least you have narrowed your choice down to 2 tyres & everyone will have an opinion, or suggest you try something else.

Cheers

If you know the problems with coopers eg lugs coming off, then why would you waste your money on them!

Were like a lot of other people who have Coopers and have not had a problem.

I run MTZs on my Lux and am very happy with them. So much so, when I upgrade to 33s (currently 31s) I will buy another set. They work well in mud and rock and do fine in sand off-road. On road they are not that noisy and handle the wet well.

I know a few people running them and they all love em.
