Cooper S/T MAXX

I bought a brand new Hilux in late 2011 and requested these tyres be fitted when I collect my new car.
I got a wheel alignment done a couple months later when I got a lift kit put on my car.
In the eight years I rotated the 4 tyres every 5000km religiously but never got them balanced and never had my wheel alignment checked again. I was even slack and checked the tyre pressures one or twice a year.
I have been off road and towed a caravan and apart from one screw going into my tyre and getting a very slow puncture once (which I fixed with a p...Read more

Got the Dmax LSM in early 2018 and as expected the factory tyres were only meant to impress on highway driving so I quickly subbed them out for a set of these ST MAXX in 265/70R16(as recommended by Cooper retailer)The original tyres were 245/70R16 but was assured the difference was minimal. So the fuel economy was quickly destroyed from around 8.4L/100km to 10.4L/100km. The speedo was reading under and the auto transmission decided 6th gear wasnt achievable anymore, acceleration also suffered. After having major failures with other tyres and no...Read more

I always used Cooper St’s on my 80 series with no problems or any punctures then fitted 285/70-17 to my 200 series. As usual the handling was terrific both on and off road and they are the best for beach driving.
I let the tyres down to 18psi for beach use and this in turn is causing the sidewalls to split right where the sidewall and tread join. I haven’t had a blow out or any punctures but it makes me very uneasy to be driving at 110km/hr with split tyres. 2 have been replaced under warranty and I now have another 4 to be replaced. Not sure...Read more

ST MAXX....As a aggressive A/T tyre I have not had an issue with their traction or stopping ability. 15,000km so far & looking like new. 3 wk's 4x4'n in the Victorian High country not 1 flat. Despite being vrey close to GVM with everything for 3wk's on board. BUT my diesel consumption is MASSIVE now from day 1 fitting them. Mikey T A/T taken off (needed new) so tried the more aggressive ST Maxx's. My fuel economy has gone from 9.1/9.3 to a massive 12.9/13.7 with 13.7 being gr8 in head winds it's been much higher. Nothing has or was changed b4 ...Read more

I have run Coopers one my LC and camper for 12+ years the latest being ST Maxx, I have had a problem with one tyre, it split inside the rim along the bead for a distance of about 400 mm with splits running up the side wall after returning it to the dealer the agent for Coopers said "This tyre has classic signs of impact damage due to under inflation with excessive load" he went on to state he had concerns the other rear tyre will be damaged as well. Not once did he talk to me and ask any questions, when I rang Coopers I was told this is the fin...Read more

Had these fitted in LT245/75r16 size in Alice Springs in 2016. Did roughly 60 000km on them between Kalumburu and Townsville, approximately 20 000km of that was on dirt.
Still roughly 30% tread left so they are going on my trailer.

Out of five I had one randomly blow out at highway speed, other than low pressure the cooper dealer in Alice wasn't able to offer me any other explanation or warranty claim (I was running 33psi, most LT tyres need a minimum of 35psi)

Pros
-Amazing puncture resistance.
-Great grip in rocks, mud and gravel.
- Softer ride on corrugated dirt than bitumen.
