Thread: R19 tyres.... Cooper or not?

On a D4? What 18" rims did you use?

The OP has a 2.7L D4, so can put 17" and up wheels on it!

Got my coopers today from Tempe Tyers a little bit noisy but they appear to be okay

The 19" Duratracs are only P-rated like the 19" Hankooks and may or may not have a stronger carcase.

Not that noisy at all - I was worried due to the more aggressive tread pattern than the wranglers, but only slight increase in noise. I've been really happy with mine - and wear isn't bad either. Just about to get another one for my extra spare. Available at beaurepaires and via tyresales.com.au for about $430 a tyre.

I got my second spare Duratrac from Tempe tyres. $340 plus delivery which was about $20ish to Perth from memory. Just depends what you get charged locally for fitting, lucky buggers in Sydney get it free in the $340 price.
