Thread: All terrain tyres

There are field day specials on maxxis and cooper tires this month and I'm stuck on what to buy. Im looking at the maxxis bravo 980 $1350 for a set, or the cooper st/maxx $1880 for a set. Im not sure if the cooper's are worth the extra $530 over the maxxis? Anyone got any advice.
Thanks.

If there anything like cooper sst pro muds they are

coopers last forever. but dont dismiss yokohama geolander

Maxxis. Lovem. On my second set now and I’ll go back again

Save the extra money from the coopers and buy a set of tyre chains for when it’s seriously slippery

Following this as I need a set for the new truck, came with nice cheap road tyres. Have max is buckshot muds on the landcruiser and happy with them, boss had a set of coopers and paid big coin for them, his missus managed to put a big (non repairable) hole though the side wall with 200km on them.... He was not happy

Coopers look like they have a decent bit of grip on the sidewalls which is always nice if things get sticky

Just got a set of those coopers last week replacing my cooper AT3's as I was after more grip off road.

Me as well. My original tyres are about to be replaced and I don't have any idea yet what to get as an AT replacement.
The original dealer tires have done 55000 Pretty good for shitty tyres

Mickey Thompson BAJA ATZ , expensive but hard wearing and good traction.

Interested in what you guys are paying out for these tyres?

Mickey Thompson for me on my second set.Sold last truck that had 80k on them looked liked they would do 100k

I got 50 000 kms out of a set. They were just over $1000 fitted. Never had to use my chains when I had them on either. They were a bit slippery on the road though.

Had some Achilles desert hawk road tyres on my wife’s car, they flew to bits inside 20,000km.

Not sure what wagon your putting them on I'm fortunate enough to have access to different brands to try and being a right Arse get the cheapies tried federals nangkangs and one other brand that I can't remember but had a good run out of all of them

4 or 5 in a set and what size?


I’m ~8500km into a new set of 33/10.5R15 BFG KO2 All Terrains and they’re going well. Entirely unrelated because I haven’t got Maxxis or Coopers (they don’t import them in 33/10.5)

Cooper are head and shoulders above Maxxis. I had the 980s and ripped the side walls out while driving down a farm track. Went into a rit with a sharp stone and took the wall out. I have since had the St Maxx and currently running the AT3s. Maxxis run a 2 ply side wall where as the Cooper run a 3 ply where one ply runs at a different angle. This makes the side wall stronger and allows you to run lower pressure. You will get better grip, road handling and longer life out of the coopers, making the price difference irrelevant. Second choice would be the BF Goodrich TA KO2s.
