Hi Andrew,
I got your message but unfortunately no way to reply to a follow-up:
Your Q:
Hugh
I am getting a set of COOPER A/T's 265/75/16's on the GU next week to replace the 265/70 Bridgestones.
I tossed up over the S/T's but most of my driving will be harder surfaces.
How are your A/T's holding up for milage??
cheers
A:
I now have 10,000 km on my 265/75/16 Cooper ATs. They still look like new with mostly bitumen use but also some gravel, sand and firetrail work. I had a set on a Pajero prior to this vehicle and was very happy with them.
I had some balance issues after fitting these tyres to my GU. Eventually solved via a good wheel balance from Richard's Tyrepower in Osb Pk. He has a road force balancer which applies a load via rollerto the tyre to simulate tyre deflection during balance. Only machine of its type in WA. Cost was $25 per wheel but is free if you buy your tyres through him (which I didn't). I was extremely impressed with his service and advice, so would recommend you get your tyres from Richard if you have not already committed elsewhere.
Regards,
Hugh
