Wow, I just voted then had a look at the poll. thought shit everyone does agree with me but alas it was me myself and I voting :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I have had them on 3 different cars now and kick me up the arse cuz I kept buying them but they are crap for the work I do...

I had AT and kept getting punctures. Have not had the same problem with BFG AT.
The garantee is not worth anything, after having a problem with the side walls cracking they replaced them with new tyres and made me pay for the tyer were that i had used on the crap faulty tyres.:mad:

I've never used them. I won't either.

My opinion is based on rumours, inuendo and those that I know and spoken to and they reckon they're,,,crap! To many holes and fallin to bits! And seen a couple too!

My opion is based on other peoples experience,reasearch and observation, wouldnt touch em with a pole. Very happy with the Goodyear Wranglers, just waiting for a set of the new ones

I have a problem with that tyre, I don't know if everyone else can see it, but there will only be 75% of the tyre working in mud due to the tight tread pattern in that one section, would be good to keep the tyre quiet on the road, but you are buying a mud tyre so that you have got max traction in the soft stuff not quiet on the road.:eek::eek::eek:

I got 130k out of a set of Cooper ATR's but they are slippery / dangerous in the wet.

130k, are they now sliks, you get what you can out of a tyre, well done, was that road use or did you take them off road at all?

I agree crozza, if you want a mud tyre thats what you should get, and they will be noisy on the road, "my advice get off the road"
I have made the mistake of trying to have a good tyre for road and mud. i dont think you can, unless you have 2 sets of wheels(thats also a pain changing them)

I have Cooper ST's on mine, and i would not buy them again. I bought them just before a vic high county trip, and tore lugs off on the first day. not happy :mad:

They have just continued to tear the side lugs off since.

The road wear is really good, nice and quiet and dont seem to be wearing fast, however for me as soon as there is anything a bit rough to get through the corners are tearing off.

Just my experience.

COOPERS ARE CRAP

My opinion is based on fact and having had them on my Disco, they chipped and I had lugs come off all before I had raked up 25,000ks.

I would not put them on my car even if they gave them too me:mad::mad::mad:

thats understandable as the weight of the vehicle has alot to do with wear, and as the suzuki weighs less than fly shit, it wont wear out tyres as much.

The Bridgies are a harder compound, and all muddies are a softer compound tyre, so would not get anywhere near the life out of them as a AT or HT tyre.
