    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?

    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.

    Guy at work just got some Bridgestone dueller A/T's for $325 including each fitted. Not overly aggressive tread but good on road and good mileage
