Tyres for Hilux

[TreeswingerPerth]

Anybody tried Cooper Discoverer STT's on their Hilux ? I've always stuck to BFG's and had good service from them , scared to try them on the guy trying to sell them's word !! He tells me the Coopers are just as good if not better than the MT's , at only £10 more per tyre am I better with the BFG's ?

Hi Treeswinger.

I changed from general grabber at2 tyres to cooper stt 235-85-16 on my LR defender 2 months ago. Very noticeable difference in handling. - I think the sidewalls are softer or have less plies which leads to more flexing. This is seen as an increase in body roll and more wandering on road. Wet road driving seems as safe as any other leading mud terrain tyre- you have to give em all a bit more respect. Fuel economy has also dropped a little .

However when pulling my IW trailer loaded with sawmill and equipment across wet grass, muddy hillside fields the difference is extraordinary. I used to put snow chains on or wait for clients to pull me in and out again, haven't had any problems off road since. If you need to haul off road these tyres would do well. If you need more extreme traction there are better suited tyres but at expense of road use.

As yet its too early to say how well the coopers last.

I had cooper stt on my 130 but changed to BF Goodrich muds this year and don't really notice any difference between the two.

Except the price, STT seem to be a lot cheaper than the BF, going to give them a go when my current MUDs wear out.
