Seems to have got sorted now but we no longer use them as a stock tyre.
My Coopers coming off & either there or back to Duratracs
Hi Paul,
may I ask the reason why you're going away from the Coopers?
My apologies should you've explained the issue in another thread ...

Not been 100% convinced since fitting in Oct, compared to Duratracs they just felt skittish on rd. I've played around with pressures & they've felt better at +2.
With Duratrac I felt I could push/throw the car into a corner, not so with these
Off Rd I've found that Coopers turn to slicks quite quickly (gum up & don't clear as well as a the Duratracs did, I use the car around home (we have some land) & want something with a bit more bitePaul.

HI Dunc
im running my last 4 mtrs , what did you pay for 4 x3s ?
Dunc, I'm disappointed tbh, thought they'd be a good all rounder, I canvassed opinion & many (some on here said great tyre), will look forward to your feedback on them & go from there.Paul.

Thanks a lot Paul,

Thx for the clarification D4

I thought it was the Ltz,s with the problem with cracking side wall. I have one on a 20 inch rim .. a few years old now and seems ok.
I have 17 inch Cooper ST on a set of 5 rims and they are well used and old.. no cracking on them.
