The rear ones are more chipped than the front due to both the load and being pelted by stone flicked up from the fronts.

Thanks mate! Can't wait to get them on, they are a lot bigger that's for sure

And go out and do this:
Discovery 3 up & over Big Red #2 The Simpson Desert - YouTube

I'm sure the bigger / wider rubber helps heaps!

That's awesome! Are you using rods or llams?

Cheers Billy

LLAMS.

Has anyone running LTZs experienced cracks in the side walls? I have read a number of reports where users, both here in Aust and o/s, have claimed to have had that problem with LTZs, some have supposedly been replaced by Cooper (some more than once) but they still experienced side wall cracking with the replacements. I don't know how reliable these consumer product reviews are?

I am thinking that I will get a set of LTZs (19s) as they seem the best option, just thought that I would ask the question anyway.

Thanks

Lou

So far so good with my Coopers.

I don't use them around town though. They only go on for weekends away, towing the 2.5 tonne Caravan, and loaded to the hilt....have only done 7537kms, but very careful with pressures, very low when needed. They still look like new and I have given them curry.

Lou,

My D4 3.0L has now done 21,000ks on my Cooper Zeon LTZ 255/55/19s. So far so good. No cracking in the sidewalls that I can see! Tread depth has gone from 13mm down to 8.2mm which if my fat thumbs on the calculator are correct should see these tyres last for around 56,000ks all up.

Way better than the Contis that came with the D4 and were stuffed at 32,000ks

Thanks to all contributors to this and other tyre threads. Easter was the last straw for my Wranglers. After 39000km all 6 are wrecked. Two destroyed driving around the tracks of Wichelina Station (South of Maree). Lots of mud and rocks and sand. The remaining four tyres were deemed unsafe with side wall cuts and wires sticking out etc etc. Tyre guy said we were lucky to get home....I had been pampering them all the way back to the Adelaide Hills.

Today I bought 6 Coopers Zeon LTZs and the ride is better straight away. Now that I know the baseline tolerance of Wranglers (pretty low) I can start to put the Coopers through their paces and make a comparison.

(I have a MY12 D4 HSE)
