    I have put around 80 k on my Cooper s/t max on the Mitsi.
    99% road work and never had an issue in wet conditions.

    I'm running Cooper AT3's on a Triton, really like them. 50,000k's so far and plenty left, good on road, only do mild off road stuff but they haven't let me down.

    Not cheap though, I think I got them on a field day special and still over $400 each.

    Sounds like the pressures to high in them for the weight or load of the vehicle. They have stiff sidewalls so can be happily run at lower pressures. Not a tyre I would put 40psi in with an empty ute.

    @Ryan_Songhurst, yours is the complete opposite experience to mine, you've been driving yours a short while, me a long time. The actual tyre is the "constant" in the equation, size aside, so something else must be the variable that's causing your problem.

    Could be you (no offence intended), driving style is a high likelihood cause.

    As mentioned tyre pressure, but unlikely, I run my LT225/75R16 at 50psi (rear) on tarmac (55psi hot), no problem. Always have. I'll go 5psi higher if towing on long flat bitumen. The LT is the important bit. They are rated to a max pressure of 80psi.

    Suspension. Worn or leaking rear shock(s) are a primo cause of snap oversteer on utes. They often only last 40-50,000km, less if GVM is not respected.

    Turbo diesels with chips. That sudden rush of ooommmpppfff on a typical crap bumpy NZ bitumen road can cause havoc with unladen rear leaf sprung vehicles. Especially when combined with heavy right foot and/or bad shock(s).

    Just suggesting I'd be inclined to look for the problem elsewhere... that tyre is unlikely to be the sole cause.

    Recommended from Brad (Mad Maori) on here (Bay Tyres). Great to deal with but a bit distant from you.

    I had the Cooper ST and agree with Ryan that they were slippery in the wet. I thought that the latest model of them had fixed that, but it sounds not.
    Be interested to hear how well they last.
    It looks like the lugs have been cut to grip on ice,does the sidewall display the letters M/S (mud and snow) anywhere?

    BFG did the same with their AT and Mud Terrain tyres over here in Norway,they wore out quite a bit faster as the cuts in the lugs are designed to squash the lug into the road surface and the edges of the cuts to grip the ice.

    While driving style may be the cause of loss of traction if another tire wont let go with the same driving style it is in every way a better tire in my opinion.
    Even if you don't push the limits of traction on road (and you should not habitually but you should know where they are) A tire with higher limits of traction and a predictable nature is a safer tire.

    + 1 They are excellent in wet & snow, and quiet & smooth on road, haven't pushed them hard in mud yet.

    It's not hard to find heaps of reviews online with the exact same problems as mine, dangerous in the wet
