I am lucky enough to have 2 sets of tyres. One for buzzing around town and a bush set.
My current bush set are Cooper ST-C. Very happy with them but I think this trip to
Innamincka next month will be their last trip out bush (put them on the car around town to wear them down to get my monies worth and then trade them).
I have read with interest the latest 4wd mag with the mud tyre
test. $400 for a tyre is alot of money in anyones book so looking at the cheaper MT's around the $200 bucks.
So, my question is I am happy with the ST-C because of the rocky roads that SA are famous for. Chipping is very minimal running correct pressures (unlike the ST's that I have replaced in warranty).
Are the MT tyres a soft compound also so they will handle the gibber roads and rough tracks of the flinders etc or are they going to chip?
Thanks,

Hi Gossy,
i have the STTs and they have worked a treat with rocky road conditions. they are a soft compound, but have worn very
well.
they are cheaper then the ST-C's in the ACT. ($360p/tyre) 33 inch
I use them for the daily driver, tourer, hard 4wding and have found them great.
but other people have found them wanting (chip resistance wise) i guess it comes down to how you treat them and what pressures they are at.
couldn't speak more highly of them
