That's interesting re the Coopers, as I am currently in the market for some new tyres, and do have 2 Cooper ATR's on the car. I was told by one tyre retailer that I had the bad batch and that the ATR was discontinued for the same reason (as mine too are cracking in between the tread blocks). He was heavily pushing the new ST Maxx tyres. I think I will go with another brand.2008 120 D4D GXL Auto, ARB Bar.
OME Suspension, GME UHF, Alpine Stereo.
Rear Spoiler, Hilux bonnet scoop. Hilux Washer Jets.
....... more to come .......

Had Bighorns, great off road hopeless on road. Never heard a bad thing about BFG A/T's but wanted a slightly more aggressive tyre so went the Coopers. Even then it was a toss up between Coopers and Mickey's, but seeing they come out of the same factory I went with the tread pattern I liked better.
Really hope I don't live to regret my choice.
Cheers,
Dusty

Well was told by a good source that now they have built there own factory in asia and make them there but have sent a few Aussie people over there as quality testers to make sure there quality is still as good. I am looking into it cause I want to try and buy Aussie made and if there not making it here then makes buying Aussie made a lot harder.[url=http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=12264]My Prado[/url]

At the GTG I put 29 tickets in to win the ARB compressor and was beaten by a guy who only put 3 tickets in. To say I was disappointed was an understatment but it was all good fun and I did win a transer guard later on so that sort of softened the blow.[B]Tasmania 2015 GTG Committee Member[/B] 2005 Prado Pilbara, Sovereign Bar, Driver & passenger weathershields, UHF TX3220, Spare wheel spaces, Lifestyle rack, Genuine front & midrow seatcovers, Genuine front & midrow rubber floor mats, ARB 47 litre fridge/freezer, Hilux washer jets, BF Goodridge A/T, Radiator protection plate, Dual battery tray and isolator, ARB 2.5m awning, Rhino heavy duty areo bars, MSA rear wheel bin, MAXTRAX
