Cheers Mr Tyre

They are a couple of hundred miles in now and not noticed them being skittish really apart from when I tried to see how far I could push them.

Happy with them so far so we will ju ...

Well the Coopers are on and ready to roll.

Bit more noise on the road but nothing that you really notice.

Bit more skittish in the wet when you boot it out of a roundabout (to see if they are mo ...

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know what the wear rate compares like?

£20 a corner cheaper soon pales away when you have to replace them twice as often!

Still erring towards the STT unl ...

Looking to put some 265/70/17 tyres on my L200 start of next month. Options are
BFG Mud
BFG AT
Cooper STT
Maxxis MT764

Unless people reckon the BFG are a million miles ahead and will last a LOT ...

They really need to be a new tyre as it is an Estate vehicle so i think that i will just have to hang fire until Autumn and see if anything comes along and if not either go bigger or go for the Grabbe ...

They would be good Mr Tyre, havent found anywhere that does them in this country though!

Mr Tyre

Do you happen to know any mud tyres (or something like the Cooper st) that will fit the freelander 17 inch wheel?

Not sure how much space i have. Don't get the car until Wednesday on roa ...

Thought the size might be a touch big!

Bloody 17 inch wheels are a pain in the ****!

My boss runs the Grabber AT (not the AT2) and they are definately not as good as my BFG AT in the mud etc hence my search for more aggressive treads

245/70/17 seem to be the closest size that you c ...

Its the grip that I don't think the Grabber AT will have.

The experience i have is that they are a decent enough as a compromise but I can't afford to have less grip then i have with the BFG AT and ...

I am once again needing new tyres but this time for a freelancer 2 with 17 inch wheels.

I currently have a Shogun with BFG all terrains which are pretty good but they don't do them in 17 inch.

Really. The lady i spoke to said they were having trouble getting hold of them and werent sure about the future but maybe thats because they are being replaced as you say?

Thanks Mr Tyre

Do you know if the Shogun Sport will take the 245/75 profile as standard?

After all the palava of getting new tyres for my L200 i have now started a job where i get a Shogun Sport as a company vehicle.

Seems to have stirred up a hornets nest over night here!

Well thats easier than i thought it would be then!

If i can put the 245 on there then i will do that and save myself buying ...

Thanks Mr Tyre

I was just thinking how much worse the fuel comsumption and wear would be?

Say compared to a BFG mud which look a bit more agresssive (might not be in the flesh)

I think i will be going for the ...

Interesting on the STT's they sound like they are worth a look then. L200 seems pretty heavy on front tyres!

Do you reckon they are a lot less good on fuel than the AT2 or the Grabbers?

Dan

Thanks for that

I did like the AT2 on my defender.
