New Cooper AT3XLT

Wonder if and when it will be available in SA. Certainly looks good. Not a bad warranty

Are you suggesting it is perfect for Fortuners?

I would not buy !! Cooper has a bad attitude when it comes to problems with their tyres ! My brother's son bought 4 new ones for Disco 2 . 400 km later , one tyre developed a bulch . Dealer had a hec of a time getting the rep out to check !! They kept on saying stupid things like , it was abused

, He hit a pothole , , he drove it flat , he must off had puncture ??? This Without any inspection ???? After threats of going on FB and other social media , they eventuallt sent out a rep to tyre dealer . Also the tyre dealer told them , the is no evidence of abuse !!
This caused a lot of travelling from Bronkhorstspruit to Pta to sort this one problem out !!

Maybe it is standard practice ?? I do not know . Surely it is better to inspect first , then make accusations ??? Cooper first started with accusations !! Even before inspection

This was last week !!!

I had exactly the opposite experience...

GavPike noticed a crack/cut all round about 15mm ftom the rim on one of my tyres.

I took Fearless to Barend at Tyre Mart opportunities Forest Hill City where I bought them.

He noticed that the cracked tyre was batch 38 whilst the other 3 were batch 42.
We checked the spare- it was batch 38 too.
So we dropped the spare and sure enough, the same cut line.

He took photos and tread depth measurements.

A week late he said Cooper had agreed to a replacement and would cover 82% of the cost as I still had 82% tread (after 14000km).

I went in. Got two new tyres. Barend didn't charge for fitting or balancing.

Coopers replaced the tyres without seeing them.
They only received the photos Barend sent.

So my experience is vastly different to Johannes' brother's son.
But then I'm not a bonehead who drives into stuff..

I only recall you driving into a dam or river some time ago .......................... but that obviously did not damage your tyres.

These look suspiciously like the BF's KO2's from the side!

Looks like Cooper is "aspiring" to be like BF.

I honestly don’t see a resemblance.... but that’s just me

Johannes. I think it’s much the same as with a motor dealership. Get a bad one and you will have all sorts of crap service. Then you get a good dealer whi will bend backwards for you
