Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Apologies for being off the grid for some time - I had a heck of a time lately with keeping afloat - within a matter of 2 weeks I lost 5 out of 9 contracts due to the some mining groups going one up on the acceptable BEE scale (my Co is a level 3 !!!) - not 51% black owned - sorry you're gone :( - but f*** that, that wont keep me down for too long !!

I must in the near future get another set of tyres - Earlier days with my previous vehicles I just loved the Coopers - due to unavailability of Coopers at the time I went for BFG Muds and must say I had a good time with them - question - price/benefit wise with a Mud Terrain - would you go with the BFG or with the Coopers ?

Thats a tough choice to make. I wanted bfg km2's, but could not get any stock at the time, so i bought cooper st maxx... That was before the st pro's were available.

Imho, If i had to choose i would see where i can get the better deal..

Jannie....all the real cooper tires are great.....stt stmax at pro it depends wat you want . They come with 3 ply side walls and gives about 100000 km min per set .
Bf new al terrains are great so are there km2 muddies......same country same specs imho you can go with any of the above .....the size shoud be 33 for a patrol and to keep your street credit up go for muddies .....of stmaxx ......old gerrit used to say best all terrain tire is a mud terrain

From when I got my first mud terrains I was converted - I just love them. On road the sound is music to my ears and offroad - well hey, the proof is in the pudding, they're just awesome. I seldom hear of mud terrain owners going back to AT's and the such. Will phone around today for prices.

Welcome back - I hope things are going better!

I went from STTs to ST Maxx same grip offroad at about 50% of the road noise, also slightly better (~8%) consumption.

The best prices I could get was from Tyremart Milnerton, give them a shout.

Is there a difference in floating (on sand) of the tire when deflated between STT, ST Maxx and KO2's - maw op selfde bannddruk (se teen 1Bar) watter een sal beter vaar in sagte sand - of nie noemenswaardige verskil nie ?

Ek twyfel of daar 'n noemenswaardige verskil sal wees.

Op die duine-trippie was dit vir my duidelik dat min dinge enige neomenswaardige verskil maak, behalwe baie baie krag.

Al daai bande het dieselfde spec sidewalls.....almal val in die regte tire klas

Interesting - I saw on facebook that the latest tires used by The Desert Lion Conservation Project in Namibia was the Cooper S/T Maxx and although it "only" did about 28 000 km that it outperformed all previous brands. I don't think there are a more suitable "test" ground for tires anywhere in the world, ranging from rock to sand to mud and anything you can throw at a tyre 24/7.

Thats very interesting

I am hearing allot of positive things about the ST Maxx......Really wish I had the money to get a set of those
