Oi. That's a really good car mate.

I own the same tires for 2 and a half years on my 98 Hilux. Mainly on road and still look new. Great in the wet too. Great job Cooper 👍

I saw the first video of yours with the Jimmy yesterday and I loved the honest review of it considering it is yet to be launched in India and I was planning of having a mini offroader. After watching your take on it, I think I have cleared my doubts about the Jimmy. Today I viewed this one with the Toyota , more than anything I loved the matte greyish color on her. You have good color choices. Hope to see more videos. Your presentations are very calm, composed on the vehicle and how you build her up. That is something which makes me want to watch your channel. Regards.

Can't believe that was a rental! Your paint and panel work process was an ausome job!!

Good choice of tyres, I got 85000km on my first set of Cooper Discover 3 A/T tyres on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Enjoy them

Jeepers those wheels look awesome, good choice and well done with the tyres! I always enjoyed going out to Kungwini, lots of cool ruins in the koppies and along the trails in the rest of that property. Enjoy it!

Wow! What a beast! Beautiful. Love the new tyres and wheels. Great choice. Thx for the action shots. Can't wait to see you and the beast heading out for an adventure. Stay safe mate. Cheers from Europe!

Wow those tyres are freaken awesome. They really compliment the vehicle. Well done to you and your sponsors. Looking forward to seeing some off-road trips now. It's why we we really subscribed 🙂

Perfect wheel and tyre selection . You can get enough out of the wheel alignment to clear the mud flaps and not have them scrubbing with that combination of wheel , tyre and offset. I would still change the upper control arms to get better geometry in the alignment. This build is pretty nice and really sensible. Congrats mate.

Love the wheel choice, they go really well with the build. I'm not personally a fan of Cooper tyres, as my experience with them and the ones they manufacture under other brands (like the ProComp MT2) I have found they only work until around 50% treadwear, at which point they become dangerously slippery on wet roads, and useless on rocks, almost as if they have a completely different rubber compound in the lower half of the tread blocks.

To me that sounds like aging of tyres . All brands have a shelf life. I find that rotating the tyres at 5000 kilometres and correct pressure s has got my tyres down to 70 percent wear but then they are old and hard and chip out so replace them at that time.
