SubscriberHi,
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but in what sequence would you rotate the 5 tyres?

Here's a link which shows various methods of tyre rotation. You may have opened a can of worms here as there are differing opinions on whether you should rotate 5 tyres or 4 only. Personally, I only rotate four - same side front to back and vice versa.Originally Posted by madden

SubscriberHorses for courses, I guess. I'm sure that Cooper tyres are as tough as they claim, but in my experience of them they lack the one thing I want MOST from a tyre: grip. I had 'em on my D2 and they scared the bejeesus out of me on wet roads, common where I am. I switched to Maxxis MTs and haven't looked back. I can always turn the volume down on my hearing aids!
That said, If I was going to go and do something like the Canning ( in a D2 that is unlikely ) the Maxxis would be coming off. But I'd go BFG in that case.

SupporterToday I went and got my tyres fitted. After listening to everybody and thinking I would get the 117R ones, I did further investigation and found a place that would fit the 122R ones for $350 or an extra $100 more. So I bit the bullet. I did not fit them to the car as I still have bit of meat on the Maxis 19" ones. But will do so before my Big trip in Jan to March. As they were loading the tyres into the back I had a look at the tyres. Blow me down they were the LT266/65/19R 117/114 rating not then 122 rating. I immediately went and said this is not what I ordered. They said they got the tyres directly from BF Goodrich. I said not possible they are not supported in Aus. They then dug out then invoice, and blow me down its true. So who do you believe? They have given me a written guarantee as I was very concerned and wanted the tyres removed. Even went as far as giving me a refund so i only paid $330 per tyre. Tyre is made in USA. so I presume its a legit BF tyre! I just wonder how many other out there think they have the 122 when in fact they have the 117. If so note the price difference and haggle.
