Yes, the 723 is pricey for coops but I think for a MT tire that is a pretty good price.

i'd be keen to hear what you think of the STTs. I still have the stock Dunlop Grandtreks and on road performance is good, but offroad i am not happy with them. Especially on gravel and in light mud - i have to slow right down (less than 60km/h, usually around 45km/h) as i've come so close to losing it many times.

And the Grandtreks have worn quickly too (i think?) - i've done 24,500 kms and most of that is not domestic use asi live so close to work i can walk there. It's mainly highway and mountain offroad use and they're almost ready to be replaced. Is this normal?
cheers

I'm currently a big fan of the NTG's too, but after really looking at the STT's, they are difficult to compare.

Meaning, $ vs. $ isn't an equal comparison.

Ya, I guess it is comaring an AT to an MT tire. Good luck with the Coopers uzj.

I have the Cooper ST/C in 267/75R16 on my Discovery. Prior to those I had the original ST in the same size. There was some MINOR chunking in 45k miles of hard wheeling. That was why I switched to the ST/C. Other than that, they are phenominal tires. The ST/C don't even scuff, and drive as well as the ST. Great traction in everything but deep mud. A real "AT" tire comparable to the MTR with longer tread life and better in snow. Wish they had a broader range of sizes instead of just the commercial/contractor pick-up truck sizes. FWIW

The STTs are here and being installed. They are nasty looking, basically a cross between a AT and a MT. I will pick the truck up this afternoon.

Yeah, the camera would be at the house. Thought they were being installed tomorrow and they came in early.

How's the in-cabin noise compared to the stockers?

 

[macneill]

Looking good!

What's next on the mod list?

 

[uzj100]

Definitley up. I believe I need more air. I am currently at 40 psi.

What are you running your swampers at?

Next Mods - Sunroof, then sliders.

 

[Josh83]

I run my swampers at 32 because I like the firmer ride, but I should run them at 26 for wear. They are 13x36-16 bias tsl's, BTW.

Sunroof? You don't have one and you plan on installing one? Good Lord man, why?

No doubt, I'd like to give you mine. Rattlin' POS!

Of all the vehicles I have owned, all of the sunroofs either leaked and/or rattled.

 

[tabraha]

Looks great! BTW I'm running my swampers at about 43psi right now.
