Title: Tyres Kumho KL71 or Cooper STT
Post by: Duncan C on July 19, 2013, 04:21:59 PM

Has anybody  any thoughts on which are better? I am looking at swapping my 33x10.50R15 Silverstone Extremes for 32x11.50 r15 in a less aggressive pattern. They are great off road but too aggressive for me on. I don't want two sets and to keep changing them over so the Silverstones are going ( If anyone wants to buy them!) and new MT's on the way. Most of time in the Jeep is off-road but I still drive it too and from events and a bit of weekend trucking about.

Presumably the view is BFG MT's are not worth the extra £40 to £50 per corner?

Cheers

Cooper STT, but I'm running the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and they are great on and off the road.

I am running the Cooper STT on my ZJ and very satisfied with them. I do very little on road driving with them but imo they are a better offroad tyre than than the BFG All Terrain A/T.
