Cooper ST or STT

[Cadbury]

Hi all,
I know I am going to start a fight here, but here goes.
I am looking at putting on a set of 285/75/16 on my GU and was wondering should I go ST or STT and why.
Cheers
Cadbury

What sort of driving are you going to be doing and do you run 2 sets of wheels?
S/T's are 50/50 onroad/offroad and the STT's are 20/80 onroad/offroad.

well i had cooper atr and they were absolute sh@t in the wet road after 12mths but then a gain i got 350,000kms out of them but no one beleives me not even the tyre place that took them off 305x70x16 cooper ATR never had any problems off road though dont know if this helps u at all but my opinion i am running 275x75x16 KL78 Kumho no problems on or off wet or dry

Yep ill second that, my father has run st and mates have run stt. They all said they would never buy them again

[gec]

Can not agree with that, I have run both STT and ST [currently] as have my brothers both of whom have purchased another set, I know they come from the same factory but judging by a mates experience I wouldn't get the Micky Ts

Cadbury - have a look see tomorrow and a chat with a few at the BBQ. I've got Mickey T's and I'm stoked with them and I've had STT's previously and wasn't overly impressed - Sandra has them on hers now! My biggest issue with them was on the black stuff - mostly the noise as they wore down (although Sandra's aren't as noisy as mine funnily enough), and the traction in the wet (as you are on bitumen far more than on the dirt). My old man had a set of ST's and did a trip to the Kimberley's on them and swore he'd never have a set again - they chipped up badly and didn't wear overly well in his opinion.

Everyone will have a different opinion mate, but you need to weigh up your uses, your driving style, etc, etc - all the tyres are good in themselves, but everyone's road conditions, expectations, etc is what varies ....

Now .... where's that hornets nest I just stirred up? LOL!!!!!

BUZZZZZZZ BuZZZZZZZZZZZZ actually kinda agree but a bit of a fence rider. Had ST's on a Jeep Cherokee couldnt fault em. Had em on a work hilux wore fast and unevenly could been wheel alignment. Two mates had em on troopys wore terribly,scalloped appearance. They wouldnt get again STT only heard of em being destroyed at Loveday so no real comment there. Good luck whichever way you go preserve your investment and rotate minimum every 10k
