    20 inch - Cooper 285/50/20 Zeon LTZ Tyres

    All, anyone fitted these recently in Oz?

    Quoted $450 per tyre, fitted, today in Brisbane - includes the warranty (50000km etc); Looks about right to me (and yes I've seen "$310 per tyre" plus plus (freight, fitting, no warranty, etc) on EBAY but think I will stick with the tyre dealer here given the long term relationship/support received to date on prior tyres and no doubt into the future. I've also accepted slight "speedo error" as I want that extra sidewall offered over the 275/45's. I note the AT3 with 275/55/20 fits too (load 117T) - but thats a much bigger difference with speedo and so the 50 series seem a good compromise with better load rating (116S v 111S) than the 45 series.

    The dealer sells Nitto Terra Grappler in 285/50/20 too (load 116S) but slightly more expensive and not as good a warranty I gather.

    cheers

    Chris

    They do seem like a popular choice these days.
    What are the details on the warranty the dealer is providing? only wear I presume.

    I will be getting Atturo brand soon (another american import) but will be interesting to see how the coopers go

    yes, wear - but he has swapped tyres (at Coopers direction) at far less km's after a "failure"(usually off road)

    cheers

    I fitted 285/50/r20 to my RRS but they scrubbed out heavily on the front so had to go back to the 275/45/r20's

    I fitted the LTZ on my L322 19inch vogues rims. Currently travelled 12000Km's and very happy with the tyre. A little more noise in the cabin compared to road tyres but worth it if your going off road. Cost $420 per tyre.

    Fitted today :)

    Well, bit the bullet and went for the slightly bigger Coopers with slightly higher (116 v 111) load rating (i.e. rather than the 275/45/20 went for the 285/50/20).

    Did have to remove the small conical (5mm) plastic protrusion at the bottom of the front struts (each side) < 1 minute job with a hack saw, but otherwise they fit with just enough room. Rear drivers side also a tight fit - but knew all this from owners who have logged threads on the UK "full fat" site.

    So, now to try them in "anger" so to speak! Will report back in due course.

    cheers

    Look forward to your reports Chris! My 275/45/20s have now done a total of (wait for it) 1,200 km before being stored in the garage

    I got these shoes on my Vogue. Slightly more noise but huge difference off-road!

    I recall the cost was under $400 fitted

    I recommend nevertheless!
