If these were available in a size to fit I'd get them and give them a go, but we poor road going Land rover owners only have the choice of the ATZ

THOSE B/stones are ok on road, ok on dry tracks, and CRAP in the wet and mud.

Hmmm the wet comment seems to be common.... Normally I would say it doesn't rain here so doesn't matter, but this year it has barely stopped!
604v's were the only tyre I ran on the Stage 1 for nearly 20 yrs. Not much available in 750/16. They lasted well, as others have commented, good in dry, sand & gravel, not bad in wet, but hopeless in mud. But then again most tyres are unless specifically designed for the stuff. Once they were about 50% worn then the punctures started, but this has a bit to do with tubes also. Pretty good really for the price.
Question: Is the immeadiate financial gain of the Bridgestones off set by the longer life of the Coopers? In other words, how many Bridgestones will you go through compared to one Cooper??
I have been using the Bridgestones for fourteen years on the 110 and have had no reason for changing them. As others have commented - not the best in mud, but that stuff is pretty rare round where I tend to be.

The Coopers have lasted around 60K with others running Duelers saying they are getting that and better. (The Cooper Warranty on the 225/75/16 ST LT is only 60K)
So the wear I expect to be about the same
Um, it is more like how many coopers will you go through compared to one bridgestone, bridgestone's seem to last longer... That said I still wouldn't go for them again if only because of the mud thing - mud glorious mud, when I see it I gotta go for a dip ;-)Quote:

Can anyone help me with what the largest tyre you can get away with on the standard rims without bodylift etc are?
