Yeah Mickey t's come out of the same factory.
I think there may have been a few bad years for coopers as all the bad stories ive heard of them seem to be around 8-10 years old. But whether it was due to a change in manufacturing or material I'm not sure.
FanTapstic!
I have Bridgestone Dualers A/T and they are CRAP!! Good for sliding around roundabouts with, not so good for trying to stop in a hurry tho ( ABS cant stop them skidding) Not sure what i'll put on next but definitely not them !!!
As earlier post I run two sets of tyres/wheels, A bit of a pain in the butt, changing and storage of them.
Dont wont to spend good money on tyres only to see them wear before my eyes, I do like my Cooper ATRs
but off road they are useless. I also dont like the ST's and STT's over priced IMO. Got a little while to
go before I need new tyres. Could be some new compounds ,tread patterns who knows just around the corner
But no more Coopers for me.
I have seen cooper tyres crack at low kms. Thats the start of delamination. I have heard of other similar stories also. If the warranty is voided for a 4WD tyre if you go offroad then to me thats like the warranty on a boat being voided if you put the boat in the water !! When people who work in the tyre game say "stay away from cooper " re; Matty it think it pays to listen. Most tyre brands would have a percentage of failure; but some have a lot more trouble than others with a shonky warranty.
