cooper st or stt

super8 · Dec 14, 2010

Hi folks,
i seem only to be able to get cooper st's in 265 75 16 on rims at the moment, i was hoping to have them in 235 85 16.
i Can get the stt in 235 85 16 though.
most of my miles are road but i do line up a dirt track (mosty rock and gravel) and also need to go on to the land to pull out logs etc
V8 110 so i'm a bit worried about fuel consumption (am running 7.50 16 now)
AAAgh what to do???
thanks

st will serve you well.good tyres

i have stt 235/85's on my 110 and find them good on road or on dirt - wear is not to bad either, just have to watch the rocks (flint and granite here) as the tread can be cut quite easily

woss the fuel consumption loss in % as hes a v8..

haven't noticed any increase in fuel consumption still can get to Santander from here (600km) using only 50lts, but with roof rack on that goes up to 58lts

your on diesel then..

in my V8 when i fitted monster tyres i lost 20% distance.went down to 12mpg...on a good day...

so i asume the 265's would be noticable..?

bmp42 · Dec 14, 2010

always the throw back with having more rubber in contact with the road - increases drag
