Cooper srx on benz

published

Replaced cooper ht3's with 20" srx's on my benz ml350 after 50000 mostly highway driving. Have had a few sets before and the worst were crs's-crap with heaps of punctures. These srx's were recommended by tyre retailer and from day one vibrations through entire car. They rebalanced them and found one small imperfection in a rear rim but had that fixed and the tyres are even worst. Can't drive on them at speed for any length of time, the vibration through the steering is untenable. Will never buy copper again and will go for some quality like michelin. Not happy as retailer claims no other problems with them? Will not go back there-ever! Plus will not recommend coopers ever again.

Long life, but not that grippy

published

This tyre is wearing well, however does tend to slide around on the rear in all conditions, has rather car like shoulders, and does seem to mark and cut rubber when taken off road a bit. I don't think I would buy these again as there are a lot better tyres out there that do the job better.

Cooper Discoverer H/T 235/65R17

published

Had these on the Wife's SUV (Honda MDX) for the last 7 years. She done approx 80,000kms . Great tyre, good on gravel, good on the highway, quiet. Grips well around corners, doesnt roll. This tyre is well suited to this car. If you are after a tyre that will last longer than most I can recommend this tyre. We never really noticed any weaknesses so are very happy with this tyre.

Vibration city!

My cooper H/T tires from day one wouldn't balance right, tried new shocks and springs and alignment, to no avail they still shake bad at 65 mph. cooper will only warranty if replaced with another cooper. No thanks i will try Michelins this time. These tires have been rebalanced 4 times in 5000 miles and still no fix. getting new tires at 5000 miles sucks! Cooper needs to allow returns for a bad product, I dont want more coopers I want a smooth tire, not more problems!!!!!

Don't like the wet

published

I replaced my bridgestone for Coopers HTdid nthe 5000 kms service all ok then I noticed that they started to slip in the wet if I was starting from a uphill start.At 15,000 km I went back and got them rotated as every time I took off in the wet the back slid out, told the bob jane guy he told me to not be a lead foot off the mark.I have no faith in these tryes in the wet Iam lucky to get another 5000kms out of them just in fear factor alone.....give me back my Bridgestones

No grip in the wet

Unbeatable! Great money saving tyre.

published

Original tyres on my 2002 Hilux lasted 33,000 klms, disgusted with them I turned to Cooper H/T's
I've now travelled 95,000 klms on them and could maybe squeeze another 5,000 klm out of them, the wear is still even across the tyre and never had a puncture. All I can say is I'll never use anything else, their Awsome!!
One set of these have been on my Hilux for the past 8yrs
Not a dam thing!!!

Terrible

published

I previously had Michelin LTX M/S's (running 31’s) and got over 100,000km on my Toyota Troop Carrier in a mix of dirt and bitumen driving. Excellent tyres! But unfortunately I followed the hype a few years ago,and for only $30 less a tyre than the Michelin’s, I fell victim to the "Coopers hype". 95% of my driving on the Coopers has been on the highway. They were ok for the first 10,000km but started to wear dramatically after that. I've rotated them regularly and had them re-balanced, yet at 45,000km it’s time to replace them. I’m buying a new set of Michelin’s today.
They make Michelin's look even better...
Expensive, unreliable and you won't get many km's out of them.

Questions & Answers

Joe Hicks

Joe Hicksasked

Why is it that some are getting high mileage and others are not is there some variation in the tyre quality? My wife fitted these to a new Colorado before taking delivery. Currently at wear limits despite hardly ever driving at 100 kph speed limit. Drives to work every day 60 k round trip, never been off road or used for towing. 48,000 km hardly inspiring considering the price.

Hi Joe, I am no tyre expert so this will be just my ideas on things.
Lots of stop start driving will increase tyre wear as will fast starts and quick stops. You see the race cars destroy a tyre through just one brake lock up. I am not proud of it but I drive like a granny, I coast to a stop, rarely win the stoplight drags and dont corner fast either.
Wheel alignment must be good, but I use suspension companies not tyre companies for my wheel alignments, they dont sell tyres and have no vested interest in a so so wheel alignment.
Tyre pressures can damage edges if they are under inflated and wear out the middle if they are over inflated.
Yeh Id be peeved at 48000 too. The new set I have on arent doing so well but my wheel alignment took a pounding off road and I was too late to stop the wear pattern that was set up.

Hi Davlin,
The diesel Colorado is driven by a granny,
99% of the km were done on trips to town 60 km round trip on 80kph limit. over 3 year period. I had a talk to local Bob Jane Dealer and was told that 48,000 was better than most people get from any brand regardless of cost and realisticly one should expect 30/35,000 from a set of 4x4 tyres as that is what they see on a daily basis. Cooper AT3 tyres are now $320 ea so even more off the shopping list.
Giving Pirelli Scorpions a go this time, first impressions very quiet on our 2nd rate (course) bitumen roads. Baving retired from work at 67 in August this year I can,t afford to be paying for smoke and mirrors hokum.
Thanks for your response
Regards
Joe
