    Cooper Tyres for the best. Top shelf prices but they last a lot longer.
    News

    Coopers also do a cheaper range called Hercules. These A/T's are std on the new TRD Hilux's.

    I have had good runs out of the Bridgestone Dueler 694 tyres (now called 697) on a few vehicles I've had.

    Another place to check out for tyre deals is tyreshoponline.co.nz

    I've never had the coopers, talked to a few people about them and the all said there warranty wasn't worth the piece of paper it was written on. Marks on the side walls would void the warranty, having to rotate every 5,000 km's and all sorts of other outs.
    I'm happy if I get 40 -60,000kms out of a set. I get Pissed off when you just wear (f#@k) one tyre out I'm a big fan of the BFG,s but also had a good run out of some of the cheaper AT's out there.

    sounds like the shop you bought them off might be pulling you're tit and cant be assed doing it properly for you,the guys that sell the coopers are a brilliant company to deal with I haven't had a issue yet that couldn't be resolved

    MM, what are your thoughts about the Cooper AT3's slipping in the wet? Do you get that feedback from your customers?

    I have been told by 2 other people Tahr that they did slip around a little bit when they wore down on wet roads but to be honest 1 of the guys was a REAL hard driver on them and that was the only thing he could fault them on ,in the end he pulled them off around the 70k mark with a wof or 2 left in them and then fitted another set.
    I kind of put it down to being a A/T tyre having less off a footprint on the road versus a H/T and the harder compound in the cooper and L/T casing.

    had some deal tyres had to be rotated wheel balanced every 5000 by cooper agent, if you went over the kms warranty void drive on gravel warranty void, they wore out in half the time kuhmho kl78s did abit dodgy in the wet average off road. for the money spent not worth it.
