Thread: New Gum Boots & Work Socks for D4

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

Website with recommended retail $'s is at Aluminium Roof Racks

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.

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.

did you consider any other tyres such as the bfg km2

Hi all, still no response on the Cooper LTZ's.

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.
