Whats the best place to purchase a new set of Cooper STT's from? (245/70/17) :? some one must have got a good deal someware, don't want to pay the £125 quoted on the Devon4x4 site :shock:

D44 aren't that much more expensive are they?
You could try Nene Valley is it? or ring Copper themselves and find a local stockist like I did.

Thanks for the info all ;) best price was from Tyre Spec at £107.81, but now thinking are they going to be ok :? whats the problem with them Steve? anyone had problems etc and are they ok on the road?

Mine are on a 110 and are fab. Off to my second Drumclog day on Sunday where the 110 normally gets semi submerged in the glorious mud. As far as on the road unlike many mud patterns the coopers have cleats cut into the blocks to squeegy the water away from the road surface. It all depends on what you want I suppose. I generally toddle along and hence do not need my tyres to hold 2 ton on the road at 80 mph but some people do so they need a more road based tyre. The first time I put them on the steering was a bit off to pot but once the tyre pressures were sorted they are fine.
As far as wear goes I think they are OK nothing alarming

As Andy says above, they're good on the road and great on rocks, however, they can be found really wanting in mud.
As a pure road / laning tyre, with occasional off road, I guess they'll be OK. But I've seen people using them off road at Cannock Chase and seen a locker-equiped Disco + Coopers get stuck, where other motors with 'open' diffs and say INSAs or BFGs get through with ease.
Also, over £100 a corner is expensive, there are better deals to be had mate.
