Cooper Tyres??
« on: January 06, 2007, 12:15:04 »
Have heard a bit about cooper tyres lately and wanted to find out more however i can not find a UK website, the US website is slow and pretty poor on information and overall i would say that they seem to be a bit harder than other tyres to find information on.

Does anyone know if there is a UK site to look at and where to find information.

To be honest i would be concerned about aftersales and information etc judging by their current performance on web etc.

Cooper tyres are/were imported into the UK by www.sintontyres.co.uk here in Milton Keynes. They operate a consumer website named www.tyrespec.co.uk

Hope that helps

I have Cooper ST's on my Disco. I saw them at the LRO show
at Malvern and bought them from Tyrespec website. At the time, last summer, they were only £65 per corner.
They work really well off road, and are well behaved on road.
If they are still at that price, I'd say go for em .

How about the ST's?  I checked and it seems only the ST (not the STT) is imported into Japan.  I'd rather have the STTs (they look pretty rugged, and with nice sidewall protection) but I may end up going with BFG M/Ts.

Don't bother with STT they're not as good as BFG.

They're more like a very good A/T than an aggressive M/T.

Wear is good, so they'll do the mileage but they seem to clog easily and they don't "bite" into loose surfaces just scrabble.   :evil:

imspanners, are you talking about the old STT or the new one. I have a set of the newer ones (£88 each as said above) and I can't fault them so far. The old STT was a much simpler tyre, more like a generic MT and no where near as good.

Cheers,

Steve.

I'm using ST's on my D2 as a kind of halfway between an AT pattern and a MT pattern. So far I have been thoroughly impressed. Got mine from Davon Tyres http://www.davontyres.co.uk and the sell through E Blag too
