I have a used Cooper ST.
7 and a bit years old.
What do you think... should I try and sell it ?
Used tyre by DMdigital, on Flickr
Seriously, this happened about 500m from work this morning. Front left tyre blew out on the Tdi and I stopped within about 30m. Was doing less the 50kph at the time so no dramas, just annoying. One less Cooper ST to replace![]()

ohis that one of those Britpart Sts?
looking closely at the photo - did you REALLY stuff it with grass to keep driving?Remember when was it Malcolm Douglas or one of the Leyland Bros................
I've heard stories about ST's blowing out at speed, just wondering if this is limited to ST's or does it relate to the whole Cooper range, only asking because i've got STT's on my Disco with an ST as the spare!!! the P.O. of the tyres (second cousin, had them on his Disco for a trip up north gave them to me when he got back) said he had ST's before the STT's and had a few blow outs, only slow work but they have a thin sidewall.
i had light truck ST's on my disco and currently have ST maxx on it, never had a problem through 40 thou kms of absolute hell in the pilbara and northern territory
I've seen ST's disintegrate with ply separation but in this case it's a 7 1/2 year old tyre with about 20,000km on it and has seen a good amount of off road use in hot conditions.
My personal opinion of Cooper ST's is that I won't buy them - uneven wear, noisy, easily chipped tread - the one's on the Tdi came with the vehicle when I bought but I did put them on my D2 and had a similar experience with them.

Ron, you have all people know we don't condone "What is it worth" threads. Whilst he hasn't mentioned a price, this is a definite ploy by dm to over inflate the price of his wheel.
.....well you sure won't over inflate it with air![]()
