Thread: Buying Cooper tyres....Any suggestions?

really interesting listening to the warranty issues.

work sent me on a 4wd course 2 weekends ago. the car was a 100 series landcruiser running.... coopers. i asked about them and he told me, for the last 7 years, he does between 110,000 km and 150,000km per year. if the cooper's dont last at least 50,000km, they are replaced for free. he's never had a manufacturing fault with them or a blow out or any other issue. 50% of his km's are not on the bitchumen .


i dont know what you guys are doing wrong.

Not doing "between 110,000 km and 150,000km per year." Six months old they would have hardly cured.

point taken but i'm not convinced.

Isn't it a bit Odd that you hardly Ever hear of anyone complaining about the Yokohama AT's wearing out too quick or falling to bits on the dirt But then again they are nowhere as expensive as Coopers so many 4WD drivers don't buy them because of course the more expensive the tyre is the better tyre is

600km a day average... hmm as a trainer that’s bloody unlikely! He’d never have time to train anybody...

the car is used as the training vehicle. we did did 400km with him plus he had an hour drive home.
he goes to the mine sites and does their accreditation.
i think he said he drives to moomba once a week.

Mate just shagged a ST MAXX (he recons maybe 30k, around half tread). When asked about their warranty, was told no chance as obvious sign of off-road use

their website page on warranty inclues off road use.
