Well considering i punctured the side wall of one cooper and now running the spare i was thinking about buying my girl some new shoes

Maybe get her some new tyres and flog the Coopers on Ebay or something....

That's probably all it was.

IMO you still outdid those patrols

I dont think there is anything wrong with ur truck at all probably some crap on the tyres and rocks...

Even lower pressures can help as the coopers are pretty rigid stuff and a shortwheel is pretty light which means they don't belly mch.....

Yeah hope ur right mate... Last thing i want to do is take her to DVG & let them charge me for something i cant even diagnose... Like Mudder said, over priced

I was running 20 psi all day on my 30s. i got up fine with at's on the front and muddies on the back. Just a thought if any car was gonna slip mine should have, smallest tyres and least amount of tread.

to be brutally blunt, coopers are shit..

i popped 3 in one night doing nothing worse than what you are doing there and in the rest of the videos..

not only that but they have eff all traction and are skaty as on the road.
i wouldnt run them if i was given a lifetime supply, i gave away my other two.

I agree with you about them being skaty on the road... I even run low tyre pressure (28psi) and enable ESP when it rains to stop loosing the back end... They are great in the sand thou

28psi isnt low pressures for a tire,

i did run the coopers on 12 front and 10 rear on a trip up at five rocks and i will admit they werent too bad, sidewalls are shit though.

best thing ive ever done is bought nitto's, if you arent chasing fuel economy then chalk your tire untill you get an even wear pattern you will find it will be around 30-35 with coopers on 17x7's
