Duck's Guts,

A little off topic, but which rack do you have on the roof? I am looking for something at around that size that I might be able to throw a couple of spare wheels on for my country trips.
Thanks

Another tyre that I have been looking at when I get my 18" rims is the Cooper Zeon LTZ. They seem to get a great write up.
Any opinions?
Cheers, Craig
It's a Blackwidow alloy rack. Uses Rhino hardware (track & legs). Full mesh floor. 1800 x 1265mm. Weighs only ~26kg.Quote:

But, it throws up more wind noise than the muddies. I'm investigating what I can do to reduce this noise...some deflectors perhaps...
Mate! I love it. It looks infinitely better than stock and much more practical. Its a pity you cant get the Maxis in the 3 ply sidewall for that size ...that may come though. I think it looks like a proper 4wd now. Funnily enough it looks dressier too.
I reckon if your spending 70-80 large on a D4 you might as well throw the dough at it and get this set up if you are doing a fair bit of off road work.
Cheers
Maaate, Love it , is on my wish list. its funny how your ears dont work when it looks and performs so well !
Thanks all for your kind words.
I'm still happy with the new rims & tyres.
The Bighorns are fine onroad. The noise is acceptable from my point of view.
But I've gotta do something about the roof rack noise. It's shocking when sitting at 110~120 down the freeway for 7+hrs! I could live with it at a push, but I'm sure I could do something with deflectors on the leading edge & cut some of the noise down.
good work DG. :thumbsup:
did you consider any other tyres such as the bfg km2
Hi all, still no response on the Cooper LTZ's.
Check out this link DISCO4.COM - View topic - Cooper Zeon LTZ 18"s Mounted!.

There are a couple of threads on these tyres just search for Cooper LTZ's
I was thinking of these however am now leaning toward BFG AT's in 265 x 65 x 18.
I also think people are pretty careful about expressing their opinion regarding Cooper Tyres on a public forum.
Regards
Chuck
Hi Chuck, not sure what you mean about the Coopers. I can only go on past experience by saying that I had a bad run with the BFG's on a Rangie once and would never buy them again. Yet I have heard others say that they are a great tyre????Quote:
