    Lekke Ed, nice vid again, man it must be super cool to do what you do, thanks for taking us along 👌🏻👍🏻
    I had ST Maxx’s on 3 Cruisers, FJ, 105 series and a 4.5 79 DC.
    Their all-round performance was great and as you said they give you confidence.
    Some serious advice, rotate regularly, if not the knoblies wear uneven and you end up with horrendous road noise, which will drive you insane.
    I suggest a 5-wheel rotation plan at least every 10kkm, 5 even better if you can.
    Keep those vids coming, absolutely love what you do 👌🏻👌🏻

    • @EdwardBath
      @EdwardBath  3 роки тому +3

    Edward, mate,
    Just a great video. Thanks ever so much.
    I know nothing about tyres, (I wish I did) but after watching your vid, I'm excited about them!
    Going down to the garage right now to see what kind of tyres I have on the Rav.
    But here's the thing - how did you script that kudu cow to walk behind the 200 at 0:27?
    Mate, you're a magician!
    God bless,
    Dave

    Just a side note from Canada. They are amazing tires in all conditions but snow and ice. The compound is too hard for deep cold. Mine are not studded but that would just decrease stopping distance some. Even though they are winter rated they perform poorly in winter as most offroad tires do.
    Yes i run dedicated studded winter tires designed for extreme cold as most intelligent Canadians do.
    The st maxx rule the other 3seasons here on and off road. Im 50/50 tar vs offroad due to my oil and gas career. Never an issue in 40,000 km with these tires in any non winter condition.

    I've got the old Cooper S/T. Very good on tyre wear. They are old but no dry rot what so ever. I've got BF-GOODRICH A/T on another vehicle. Tyres are same age as the coopers but full of dry rot.
    My next tyres will be discoverer maxx.
    The only point that i have with Cooper tyres is the total lack of grip on snow and ice. The compound is so hard. On the other hand that it why they last so long. Off course the grip changes when tyres get old. That's just A fact. But Cooper is my brand to go!

    Good video. How are the tyres doing after almost 8 months. I am looking at Copper or KO2 for my 2009 LC200 285/70/17. Copper are almost Rand 750 more than KO2 on tyre.co.za. Thanks
