Well, it's always nice getting new tyres. Today the nice courier man brought me 5 Cooper Discover STs.
OK first impressions - they do look narrow. Compared to my 275 Runaways, they look like bike tyres. OK they will fill out with some air, I know. They have a good weight to them, not the like the current paper thin elastic bands. And get this, for those of you who know me, I have never been shy on the pie front, and I can sit on one feet off the ground and it barely distorts. Now that is a strong tyre. I reckon you could just about run flat. Tread looks good. Not too aggressive, but a little more side lug than an AT.
OK, not exactly photoshopped, but they are going to fill those arches a little better. I wasn't going to have lettering outwards as I want black wheels, but the letters on these are quite discrete. Still, black wheels, black sidewalls? I think so
I know that they look a little thin and tall, but I actually think that they are going to be good. OK they lose you that massive Judge Dredd look from the front but this isn't a fashion parade.
I almost want to go and get them fitted now, but I think I shall just have to wait and get the wheels done first. Patience is not a virtue of mine.
