Tyre options
OK I need all four tyres replacing and I currently have BFG AT's fitted.

Looking at my options its either BFG AT's again, General Grabber AT2's or Cooper ST Maxx. All pretty similar in price.....

Opinions please. The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

ATS are doing 4 x Cooper St Maxx fitted for about £650 or been quoted £700 for 4 x BFG AT's fitted at an independent. The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

No idea about the coopers, but having had BF A/Ts and General ATs and AT2s I'd have the BFs over and over again
