Finally someone that talks about driving on wet tarmac! You would be surprised at how many reviews I’ve watched and no one mentions it so thank you 🙏🏽

Glad it was helpful!

I’m American but I actually love how the Aussies review off road equipment. You guys actually use your vehicles for off road use, over here everyone is usually on pavement and it’s only for looks mostly unfortunately.

This is South Africa, no aussies were harmed in the making of this video.

Very important point you made is to regularly balance and rotate your tires. We advice at least every 10 000km, but the more aggressive the tire, the more often you need to rotate them. A similar tire available now is the Maxxis Razr AT811. Happy miles

Excellent Scenic Shots. Great wild life shots ! Awesome and Amazing ! Great Commentary. Wonderful Safari Trip !

Excellent, exactly my experience with the Cooper ST max When I bought my old Hilux bakkie it had hugh size Simex mudtires mounted on it. They may have saved my life though when I had to drive for hours along a mountainroad in Namibia that was no longer visible due to heavy rainfall. (Coming down from Aus, my plane to Europe to catch the next day). On the tar the Simex mudtires were so noisy that people told me they thought an airoplane was approaching ! So when I had to replace my Simex tires I was advised the Cooper ST max And I never regretted that choice

You’ve done some interesting mods to your 200. Thanks again for a great video, I look forward to next weeks episode!

I've had these Cooper ST Maxx tires on my F-150 since early 2019. They have 54,000 mi on them and still between 4 and 5/32 of tread left. They have started to cup within the last three to four thousand miles in spite of frequent rotation. Overall I would say they have been excellent. We have had them in rocks sand clay and 80 mph highways with only 1 problem. One tire began to chunk the first time we took it to Moab but Cooper replaced it immediately and since then we have had no issues. My only problem is deciding what to go with next. These tires have almost doubled in price since I originally bought them and I cannot afford another set.

I recently fitted a set of these onto a 105 series but decided to break with the norm slightly and got 255 85 r16. Its still a 33inch wheel but not as wide as the 285.

@@markwinter7511 great news, thanks. I'll also be putting them on a 105 series. With a wait time of up to 18 weeks, we need to help get the 255 size more popular here in AUS. Cheers 👍

I had this exact size on a Tacoma. Only downside was they were HEAVY

But the rims are equally important and I am happy with the heavy steel rims that were on my car. I also use innertubes. Furthermore I think 0,85 bar is dangerously low. You may run your tire off the rim or it may start to slip along the rim. 1.2 is my minimum of choice.

Great video! I may have a hearing disability, but did you say you lost a tire to a lion?? Anyway I had the same tires on my last Jeep, offroading here in the Rocky Mountains here in the U.S. and they were tough as nails! Going to get another set when the current tires wear out.

Edward thanks for this eye opener jip tyres baie belangrike besluit

Still looking new.

I run Coopers on my 2012 Ram 3500 (AT3 XLT) and 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee (AT3 on road and ST MAXX for off road). Unfortunately they were just bought out by Goodyear. Goodyear sucks and hopefully they do not corrupt Cooper, but I am afraid they will. Cooper was the last independent USA tire manufacturer, now they are just a part of crappy Goodyear. Nothing good ever lasts.

Everyone needs to remember though, the BUILD quality of your SUV will determine how loud or quiet the tires are lol . Older models will have a bit more noise. Great video mate.

I found them to be a great tyre but hard to keep balanced, rortation is a must regularly, they last a long time but when old and hard if you do low mileage each year they are scary in the wet. But at over $550 ayd each, I won't be buying them again.

How are the Cooper S/T Maxx’s in the snow??
