Does/Has anyone used the Cooper S/T LT tyres?
What are your thoughts of these on a daily driver/weekender Vit?
Good or bad experiences with them?

I am not a fan of them, guys at work who have them are always doing sidewall.

Thanks Linc, I might just stick with the BF Goodies
... I still haven't fitted the 5.1s yet either, I'm in the SLOW process of trying to get a few things done to the Vit.

BFGs have a heavier sidewall than Coopers, so good decision I reckon.

cooper st's are one of the nastiest name brand AT tyres you can drive on imo. yes they seem to wear well but the road grip is shit the gravel grip when they let go is the worst ive ever seen and the price sucks.

Coopers claim to be the shizzle becuase they last for 370,000,000kms.
Only because they are hard as fuck.

Yeah that is the reason the bloke is selling them, becuase they are too hard on the road for his Landy after only 5000km.
Thanks guys ... think I'll stick with the BF Goody A/Ts or maybe look at the Maxxis 751 A/T for a replacement as they are about $80 a tyre cheaper, though not as chunky on the tread pattern!

So Joseph what's a fare price on the BFG M/T's? say 215 75 R15
So do you recommend any other M/T.. being in the biz?
The Hankook Dynapro's look half decent (from the pics)

The fact that they re as hard as fuck has noting to do with it, I have seen the adds on telly, its because, the tread depth. der.  think about it.

I think if your after that style of tyre, the maxxis 751 would be a good option. Ive seen a tradies lux with them on and he tows heavy loads and does heaps of km's and he's very happy with them.
Ive noticed a few zooks on here have them too.

751's are great on the road, sand and dirt but don't expect miracles in mud and real soft shit, but at the price (about $130ish each fitted for 205's are a bargain).

I've got the Maxxis 751's in 235's. They're a good AT tyre for on road and general off road use.
