Re:

Hi Paul,

I'm assuming that A/T tyres will be higher profile than H/T's so, you could drop down a rim size and increase the height of the tyre at the same time (say 225 60 R17). The key will be ensuring your rolling diameter doesn't change so that your speedo remains consistent (note I didn't use the word accurate).

You could try plugging some numbers into a site such as http://www.willtheyfit.com/ to see what works best.

Re: new tyres

Paul,
Yokohama provides Free Road Hazard Protection for your Yoko Geolander ATS tyres. Check the conditions on the web site you mentionbed.
Make sure your Bob Jane outlet is aware of this.
When I went to my local Bob Jane outlet with a bulge in one new tyre after a bush outing, they had to ring Yokohama to confirm....the Yoko rep had never told them.
Needless to say, a brand new freebie as they still had >75% tread wear.

I have now done 52,000Kms on my set and still some K's to go.

cheers

Re:

Cooper CS5s.
Outstanding tyre. Some have had a bad run with them but not me...21,000km and the in-built tread wear indicators still haven't even started showing. At this rate I'll get 100,000 out of them.

Re: new tyres

Mark,
Paul was specifically after A/T tyres and the CS5 is only rated 10% dirt and mud so that would make them a H/T tyre.

Re: new tyres

Dave thanks yes i knew about it and the store i went to show me the cert.

i was happy that someone find something more my tyre.

I will NEVER touch cooper, after one ripped apart on my dads car the cs5 a while back not funny the amount of damage it did it was not funny he run into a other car because of it ripping away from the rim. Insurance paid out lucky

Re:

I keep hearing these stories about Coopers, and have had two different sets (all be it they were STT's in different sizes) fail on me aswell.

Like you i could NEVER buy coopers ever again, OR in good conscience recommend them to anyone, its jut not worth the risk.

Yet there are many on here, and elsewhere, that swear by them, its a shame there is such inconsistency.
