That's a good price Rich.Originally Posted by ~Rich~
No but they do get noisier as the wear down.
Just bought 3 more 285/60 R18's today.
Paid $397 each.
I paid $430 each

Do the 285/60/18's fit into the same space where the Original spare tyes fits?This is the 285/60/18 version of the same tyre

Hi WestOzD4,
Yes it does..........however you have to deflate the tyre. OK for me as I carry an ARB portable air compressor at all times.
Cheers, Craig.
BTW - Extremely happy with these tyres.

How so?
I thought that the Scorpion ATR got the thumbs up as the best ATR around.

AFAIK, the LTZ wasn't included in the Australian comparison.

Damn those new kids on the block...LOL!!!
But seriously, they have a pretty aggresive looking tread and I'd be concerned about wet tarmac performance. I find the Scorpions as quiet and as grippy as the Wrangler OEMs....and more stable I might add.
What's the low down on all aspects of use?
Cheers,
Kev.

Have driven in some pretty heavy rain soaked roads (both made & unmade) lately, towing trailers and can't fault them.
Grip is awsome both wet & dry.

SupporterAs I have said to many before, the only place that I can say they are less than perfect is in mud and clay. They don't seem to have too much lateral resistance to slipage.
Mind you the last 4wd's I have owned had Mud Terrains fitted!
Sand, Tarmac wet & dry, rock steps and general 4wding all excellent.

Cooper Tyres Zeon LTZ
Hey all, I joined the forum last week to research some new rubber for my D4. I have been waiting for 2 years (50,000k) for my factory rubber to wear out. We drove to Ballarat for the mothers day WE and I managed to get a roofing screw through one of my ordinary factory tyres. This was the first fault of the factory rubber, apart from getting bogged in my back yard (but thats another story). I read on this site that cooper were releasing rubber to suit a 19 inch rim. That week I emailed my local dealer who was at first unaware of this tyre. He rang cooper direct who said they would deliver 5 tyres the next day. I was put on the spot a little as I read that there would be a month or two wait. I still had a good 5000k of tread on the factory rubber, but rather than get one tyre plugged, I opted to spend the $450 per tyre to get the Zeon's. I tell you what, they are a good looking tyre, you can fit you index finger into the tread with ease. I had some ATR's on my old D40 Navara and they were pretty noisy. These Zeon's are quiet as.... A gentle Hum is all that you hear, I jumped onto the freeway and I had to turn the radio down to hear the road noise. I haven't ventured off road as yet buy I'm sure they will be as good as the ATR's. I desperately need to get away to try them out....
