Thread: Cooper Discovery ATR's

[QUOTE=DiscoWeb;1288300] Continental Cross Contact AT which comes in the the correct size in 18.

A few on the forum have them and seem to like them, check out the Continental Global website (they are not listed on the Aust. one) for some information. Being an AT they are more aggressive than the Pirelli' but from most reports appear to go well on the road as well.

Sorry to quote myself but I have just been ringing around getting some pricing on the Cross Contact AT and am astounded to have pricing ranging from $475 per tyre to $365 per tyre, a $440 total difference in 45 mins, amazing.

As an aside Pirelli are out of stock of the 255/60 18 and it will be at least a 6-8 week wait i have been told. Was quoted as low as $300 per tyre for these.

Best quotes for both were Tempe Tyres.

Looks like I just found my new rubber.

Just be aware that Continental NEVER makes a faulty tyre.

(In simple words, they refuse to standby their product, no matter how faulty it is/was).

Craig,

It is 255/60 R18, with a 112 load rating and a T speed rating. Size is the the same as the OEM so no problems with rubbing, legality, insurance etc, load and rating comply.

As I note in an earlier post they are an (AT) All Terrain so the tread pattern is more aggressive than than the Cooper ATR, but if that is what you want they are one to consider.

I am booked in to get them changed over on Friday and away over the weekend testing them out, so will provide some feedback next week.

Regards,

George
