Cooper Discoverer S/T MAXX
exceeded all expectation
Opinion Sam:
5.0
I had a set of BFG AT tyres on my last Discovery, which were very hard wearing, very tough. But they also hit my economy quite badly, and once they wore past 10,000 miles the compound became harder and they became noisy.
So when I needed a set of tyres for the current Discovery I decided to look at the new Cooper ST Maxx and the Goodyear Duratrac. I found a very good price on the ST Maxx at £100 each and after reading extensively I bought a set. I have to say I'm delighted. The tyres are exceptionally quiet despite the aggressive tread. They self clean nicely and I've never been stuck when venturing offroad. On tarmac they grip exceptionally well and are very reassuring. I've never lost traction even in horrendous rain and greasy roads. I have to say I'm a steady driver but even so I reckon these are exceptional and can't recommend them highly enough.

Cooper Zeon LTZ
Easily the best all-purpose tyre for a 4x4
Opinion GT:
4.8
This is the fourth set of LTZ's I've had and have averaged 70,000km (50,000 miles) on each set. Never had a puncture (10 ply?). Never had a problem with them; they perform just as well on dry tarmac, wet tarmac, ice, snow, wet grass and mud - and they look great.
I don't drive like a hooligan which might have something to do with the mileage but experience has shown that travelling at or just below the speed limit, makes little difference to the time of arrival.
I have pulled the following out of difficult conditions, without a problem:
44 ton articulated lorry (empty) out of wet grass - my 4x4 on tarmac.
A transit van with two horse trailer (both loaded) out of 600mm flood water.
A luton transit van (loaded) out of wet grass - both on wet grass.
The grip of these tyres is incredible and if you buy them you will not be disappointed.
