Which one?

Post by Sausage »

Right getting new tyres next week, just deciding what to get..... Tossing up between BFG KM2 or cooper discoverer STT.

Anyone have thoughts? Can get them pretty much same price, so really just wanting opinions on wear, traction, road noise, mileage

Cheers Dan

KM2s. Haven't heard a bad thing about them. Bit more aggresive than the stt's too.

Yeah they look more aggressive but also haven't heard a bad thing about coopers.... Also prob driving 60% on road 40 off road ( but want the grip there when needed)

Keep comments coming please

Just sent you a email about mine, to be honest I loved bfg off road but my next set will be coopers, ive heard they do better on rd ks and since im using my truck more on road thats what im after.

And as you saw mine are starting to chip up abit and there only 6 months old

Yeah that's one reason I'm leaning towards the coopers heard of people getting huge mileage out of them, cheers

Anyone running the STTs on here?

Cooper WILL give you huge road mileage quite a hard tyre, but still go pretty good off road

I had a set of STT's about 10 years ago but they were the earlier tread pattern, would rate them as the best tyre on the road I've ever had, wore well and handled really well, never rated them as much off road but thats all subjective to terain and types of 4WDing etc that your doing with them :mrgreen:
