Thread: Cooper ST (Sure Trac) tyres - good & bad experiences wanted

I don't know about separation, but chipping is definately an issue for the ATRs.

As far as the prices I came up with, they were about ball park with most of the other makes. By the sound of things, this obviously isn't the case over east.

Nankang Mudstars = $175ea. (33x12.5x15) fitted and balanced, good tyre on and off road, esp off road, Regards Frank

These post's about Coopers have me a bit worried as just before Christmas I fitted four Cooper ATR's. As I mainly do alot more on road than off road. Has any one also had tyre seperation problems with the ATR's.

A mate had a set of Coopers Muddies and he tore a couple of lugs out of the middle of the tread and Coopers didn't want to know, he no longer uses Coopers, niether do I, I bought a set of Nankang Mudstars as did my mate for half the price of the Coopers, 40,000klms, mostly off road and there not even half way worn, see pics in my Gallery under "Tank" at 20,000k's, Regards Frank.

where u find thesemudstars u speak of. do they do a 255 85

Cooper STs failed on my vehicle, so I put the survivors on my camper trailer, failed there too.
Warranty? ...... Don't start me on that!

Ive been told that the Dick cepek's are supposed to be a good A/T,

Has anyone had any experiences with them?

AFAIK, the only 255/85's available are Cooper ST's, BFG MT's and Maxxis Big Horn 762's.

I've been told by a supposed man in the know that Coopers are a budget tyre in the states, and it's only due to their advertising techniques that they are used so much here.

I've been in the market for some new tyres for a while, so while i was at the Landy show in Cooma i looked around a lot at what tyres people where using, and i found that a very large proportion of the ST's viewed had bad chipping in comparison to other tyres i looked at.
