All terrain tyres

If you look in the Articles section of this site, All Terrain tyres are very covered; hopefully this will give you some good ideas. Congrats on the new prado.

Cheers for that I will check that out and recommend the 150 to anyone that was looking for the best all rounder

Hi,i just put a set of cooper st max on my landcruiser 200 series, and im very impressed with the cooper so far, i was worried about the road noise,from the pattern of the tyer,as it is a 50/50 on,off road tyer,but my wife hasn't even noticed the difference,from the grandtreks. Off road they have perform brillantly. I have researched the all terain tyer mine field for about 3mths before i purchased.What I have found from talking to people and tyer dealers and reading the forums,is everyone has thier favorate brand,and can give the pros and cons for each tyer. But as some one who has had a few different brands of tyers,i m very impressed with the new cooper st max,which was made for Australian conditions,I purchased my tyers from goodyear tyers at enoggerra brisbane for $390.00 each fitted, the cheapest i could find, after lots of hunting round, the size was 265/70/17r with a 121Q load rating. Hope this helps,:-)

bfg all the way.

coopers make all the big sell, spend their money on adverts, yet bfg dont and still have the title for those in the know.
all my off road mates buy bfg's.
coopers waranty is crap.
group of 4 mates bought coopers, all navaras, one dual cab rest single, got pathetic km's out of them.
they wont honour the km;s waranty, waste of money, but thats your choice.
micky thompson arent bad, but their noisy.

Hi Michael

BFGs are on special, I just bought a full set of 275/65R17 AT for $311ea fitted and balanced.

Have a look for General Grabber AT or AT2. Not many tyre dealers know of them but if pushed Jax have them.

Made by the General Tyre company in the US - these tyres are big and Landrover circles around the world and I put a set on my Range Rover Sport a month back and have found them very good on and off road - my size is 255/60R18 but they also make them in 17". $270 a tyre - cheap in cost but not a cheap tyre in quality.

A very good tyre for modern 4x4s.

Given your planned use I suggest either the Bridgestone 697 or Goodyear Silent Armour both in LT rating. We use both on 120 and 150 Prado with excellent results. Quiet, strong and excellent off-road. One of our 120 Prado has just been to the Cape and back towing an Ultimate and wearing Silent Armour LT. 10,500km of dirt and off road travel with no punctures and not a problem at all

BFG.

Check the crowd at pradopoint.com. They should be able to offer good advice.

I am on my 3rd set of coopers in 10 years and havnt had a single issue.
I am willing to try any brand however seeing I have had trouble free motoring with coopers I will use them again. Why would I blow $1000`s on poor quality tyres ??????? HUH !!!!!!!
First being a set of ATR`s then ST`s
This time I have the new AT3`s and find them an awesome tyre in all aspects.
I am sick of hearing these hearsay stories about coopers as I have 3 mates who have only ever run coopers without an issue.
No question BFG`s are a good tyre, however they are NOT the best nor are they bullet proof.......FACT.
ALL TYRE BRANDS HAVE THEIR INHERANT ISSUES ......

I have a set of Cooper LTZ 255/55/19 on my Landrover and have done 26000km on roads such as Chambers Pillar and the Bungle Bungle's and have had no problems at all in the last few months.
I have previously had Cooper ST on the Patrol and again no problems.
I simply drive to conditions and use the correct pressure for the roads travelled and the wear has been even. Wheel alignment is also critical, overloading is another factor.

And some don’t compare apples with apples – a person on this site, some time ago, was bagging Coopers on a mate’s vehicle as being more puncture prone than his BFG’s. After a bit of quizzing it turned out he was comparing passenger construction tyres with light trucks.
Saw a fellow at a park a few months ago who had a mix of BFG’s and Coopers light truck ATRs on his vehicle – he saw no difference between their puncture handling ability in saltbush – both suffered spikes through the side wall.
