Hi there, wondering if anyone has tried these tyres http://www.tyres4u.com.au/t4utyreselector/4wd_Fitment_ID-22674_popup.aspx I like the look of the tread pattern as I am not after a super aggressive mud tyre. They look about the best compromise in a 255/85 r 16 as there aren't too many tyres available in this size that I have seen. Wondering how they go for wear, noise and traction.

I had another tread pattern Eldorado. The ZTR. They are very thin in the sidewall and my tyres suffered numerous punctures when going on bush tracks. I gave them to a mate who had to have patches put on the inner walls of the tyres. These tyres are made in the Cooper Factories.

Have those on my Hilux atm. Very happy with them so far think I have done 25000km so far no punctures. Mostly dirt and paddock work and some bush driving where the two other vehicles had sidewall punctures (bridgestone tyres). They are a little noisy but not excessive. Good in wet conditions.
Also I am running the ZTR's that Willem had. On the second set now on our Patrol. Very happy with them on that truck. Had 1 puncture that stuffed the tyre. It was a 3/8 threaded rod 5 inches long and it tore the wire cords in the tread so I replaced two tyres which had done about 70000 KM. Am using the still good 1 of the pair as the spare and think they would have done another 20-25000km.
As Willem said they are out of the cooper factory and the ZTR's are the same tread pattern as cooper ATR's (my mate has ATR's on his patrol and I keep stirring him up about paying nearly twice as much for the same tyre. And before you say they are not the same tyre I know but I still like to stirr)
