Thread: 70 series - what mod or what mod NOT to get

I have an ECU power upgrade module here if anyone is thinking about fitting one.

PM me for a price is you're interested. You will need a clutch upgrade if you fit it

With chain's for your 4x4 you don't need heavy duty mud chain's the light snow chains work just as well & when use to doing it it take less than 5mins to do all 4 tires. But everyone missing the point bot my tires you got have them for the cool factor even tho most mt tires have never even seen properly mud lol

Coopers are the .ost overrated overpriced shitest Tyre
Slippery in wet , no traction off road , can't handle any sharp stones and fk s up in heat , maxxis r OK
BFG u get what u pay for

If that is the case, then pls explain the 65,000km of puncture free hard core service I got from the Cooper Discoverer SST Maxx AT/LT - all the way through Outback Aus… (towing a camper trailer)… That mileage was about 80% unsealed, rough Outback tracks, including the worst of the corrugated endurance missions like the Canning.

Doesn’t sound very shitty to me.

The Maxxis 753 we had on the same vehicle prior to the Coopers lasted 35,000km in the same Outback conditions.

At the end of the day when it comes to tyres, everyone’s got an opinion but not everyone has got the same experience. Tyre performance and wear rates are controlled by how you manage them - correct pressures for the conditions, balancing, rotation. The Cooper MTs I had wore out because I made a poor decision and used them incorrectly.

If you drive sandy beaches and mountain tracks you should know how to deflate. We often go down to 15-16lbs when loaded up in the loose stuff.

I’ve had a good run with Mickey Ts in the Atz and now at3 pattern. Heavy sidewall LT spec. Tread pattern is close to a RT.

Well, to be fair the rotations for the ones I've been involved with were all done on spec by the outfit that sold them, they were aware of the useage (gravel roads, towing, fully loaded vehicle etc) and were quick to action the 'abuse' exemption on the warranty. Even from new and at the pressure recommended by the outfit that squeezed them onto the rims - they are one of the slickest tyres I've experienced in the wet. Loose as bro. I expect that if you use them in the perfect conditions for what they are designed for you will get the stated performance and they will run well for you, but for general working truck - there are options that don't cut out on gravel and offer grip in the wet and I'd prefer them to be fair.

The best mileage for buck tyres I've had are the Dunlop AT22 - the reason for that is 65,000-70,000 Km wear for $100 a corner on factory rims after people sold them off to fit aftermarket wheels. That's 3500Kg boat towing, fully loaded to unloaded, gravel roads and everything in between. They aren't the best in all conditions but I've been surprised at how well they have performed in conjunction with the electronic doohickeys on the ute...
