I have Cooper ATRs on my playdoe, I think they are over priced crap, granted they are quiet and preform ok in sand but they seem to be wearing really fast. Mate of mine races off road and has just switched to Maxxis from BFGs and says he is really impressed. BFG is owned by Michelin('spelling) and alot of Michies are made in CHINA. A huge amout of trucks here in the west run on double coin tires made in CHINA.

I guess what I am trying to say is value can be concealed in the brand name.
I am going Maxxis when my brigestones are kaput.
