Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I've been trying to attach for all to see, but I must have been doing something wrong 'cos I have'nt been able to see even my own pics - so here goes AGAIN !!!

it's OK Tony you be in the pound seats man coz oompie can see them, and you show the oldest old man good picts, he's happy and you're safe-

It's about time I got this right ! So what do you think of my lekker tekkies ?

i'm in luuuvvvvvvvvvvvvv man - but HOW do they perform ?

Looks cool man!

I havent had time to play yet, all I can say so far is that they are dead quiet on the tar, my "death wobble" has gone, ok I also replaced a faulty TJM steering damper with an OEM Nissan part just before replacing the tyres... and most noticeable is the pulling to the left hand side of the road which I found seriously annoying and no alignment could sort out, has virtually dissappeared - she runs as straight as an arrow now. All I can say is that they look really cool and did'nt end up costing an arm and a leg. I did manage to spend last Saturday at Hennops for some sport - and was pleasantly surprised, but with the Patrol's awesome ability, I don't think the tyres had too much to do with the ease of getting through all the obstacles!!

Hi Tony, maybe I missed it, but what did you pay??

Wilfred

Wilfred, I ended up paying R2150.00 plus vat eventually - but that was after a long wait. Fortunately there was no rush on my part and the guys knocked off a little because it took around two and a half months for the tyres to eventually arrive. I do believe that Cooper/Apollo (ex dunlop) SA. are considering bringing them in to SA, if they do, I am sure they will do very well.
Cheers.

Hi Tony
Your Patrol looks great with the Coopers. Was that a special import for you as Dunlop don't import Coopers any more.??
There is a bloke named BRAND that is preparing to import Coopers into SA.

You have just confirmed my suspicion that that a bad steering damper has something to do with the Patrol pulling to the left. I will replace mine soon.

Thanks and congratulations with your new tyres.
