Noisy and shake cooper ST Max
Just picked up a 2019 BT 50 with Cooper Tyres ST Maxm on them. I drove it from Melbourne to Adelaide- the steering shake and noise was ridiculously load - Any tips on what to do - I think my teeth have fallen out

Great tyres 265/79/17 St Maxx
My wife and I travelled 21,000 kms on some of the toughest remote roads around the top end of Australia towing our 2 Tonne offroad caravan. WE DID NOT GET 1 PUNCTURE in 6 months. Rotated the tyres and had a wheel alignment in Cooktown after 10,000 km and regardless if we travelled on flood covered roads, gravel, sand or bitumen I always felt confident. These are good tyres for proper, offroad driving.
I'll be buying these tyres again

Coopers ST Maxx after 50,000km
Purchased 6 tyres that won’t balance and despite different methods and rotation, still significant steering shake. Dealer said Coopers told them cause was steel rims not tyres. Swapped steel rims but steering shake still present. Chips n splits on rear protected spares 2years ago. Didn’t claim “warranty” as dealer said Coopers only reimburse a fraction of new tyre. Very disappointed. Not getting Coopers again.

The best off road Tyres I have ever had fitted to my vehicle.
I have every faith in these tyres having clocked over 90,000klms.
They are tough tyres that have unbelievable handling in all conditions.

There are better options
Had a few sets of these tyres on work utes. Had consistent issues with tread wearing uneven (scalloping) even with consistent rotations. Also had many sidewall failures (blowouts) on the highway.

Long lasting but noisy on the road when unevenly worn
Unfortunately I can't comment on the longevity as I'm unsure when the previous owner bought them. What I can say is that they have lasted well in the time that I have had them but although I have had them regularly rotated every service they have worn unevenly and make a lot of noise on the road. We drove from adelaide to gold coast and back and I believe this is when the uneven wearing occured. Being a hard tyre I've also noticed they can be a little slippery in the wet, but mostly before they warm up. I probably wouldn't buy them again but only due to the noise from the uneven wearing. I previously had cooper AT3 which I was very happy with.

Excellent tyres
Road noise is not even in this equation. I've had all-terrains and mud-terrains and these are almost like a normal highway tyre for noise. Upgraded from AT3's which gave 90,000kms+ usage. I had a few sidewall and tread punctures having taken them to places that most wouldn't. Upgraded due to armor-tek technology. Cooper tyres do cost more but I believe getting 90K+ in kms is the value

Great off road tyre
Very little road noise, extremely good in wet weather, wear very well for a semi mud terrain tyre, tough as nails sidewalls. Over 40,000kms on some very ordinary roads and no punctures yet! Definitely the best tyres I have had by far. Hankook ATM’s previous to these lasted 30,000km and at least 20 punctures in that time. Would definitely recommend, I was told coppers had dubious carcass construction before buying, but I got 80000km+ from AT3’s on a previous vehicle. Glad I made the change to the St’s

200 series landcruiser
2nd set i've had on my 200 series dont mind them, cant really compare them to anything else as have only had the original set on it. And different tyres on different vehicles is not a fair comparison e.g. i have had various patrols, other landcruisers and dmaxs, chalk and cheese. I don't think they are noisy, they do possibly wear uneven so you do need to get them rotated and balanced. Don't have a problem driving on sand but like I said no other tyre to really compare them against on this vehicle. I liked the look of the more aggressive patte

Torture tested
I have a set of 315/75R16s on my 79 dual cab cruiser that weighs 3200kg before loading it up. I run them at 42psi cold for highway driving and most gravel and easy offroading. For rougher off-road work I find that they bag out pretty well at 32psi and I haven't needed to go lower than this even in sand. I have read reports of them delaminating at low PSI on long trips and this may be due to the thicker side wall retaining heat then failing. So far I haven't had any punctures or failures and the tyres have been excellent on tarmac, gravel, mud a
... Read morend sand. On the highway they are well quieter than mud tyres despite having massive outer lugs. Being a 35 inch tyre sitting under a big lifted rig means they do rock and roll a bit around higher speed corners but never seem to lose traction. I have done 65,000kms with lots of rough 4wding carrying a lot of weight and through rotating every 10,000kms I will probably get close to the 80,000km rating. Overall I think I will buy them again so long as they keep making them in the USA.Purchased in at Tyrepower for $450.

Very Noisy
They have great handling characteristics but I can't believe how much drone these tyres produce at any speed. I have had extremely aggressive mud terrains that don't produce as much road noise as these. I really can't see me buying these again.

Best tyres Ive ever had
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

Wrong choice of tyre
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 moret wanting to be wondering when the next blowout was going to happen I was keen to have the security and peace in mind that I had good strong tyres on the car and I did and I would have been happy with the trade off, even with the extra road noise. But then with vibrations in the steering wheel I took the car in the get the wheels balanced, they took one look at the front tyres and lectured me about rotating them every 10,000Km, and I was going to but they had only done 7,000Km. Do another wheel alignment, rotate and balance. Still the same noise and reduced economy as expected but was only another 7-8,000Km before I saw the uneven tread wear and steering vibrations. Love the durability and peace of mind that this tyre offers on rough country but if youre doing the big kilometres and value the integrity of your steering, speedometer and fuel economy then maybe this isnt the right choice.Purchased in .
