I'd consider sellin em on ebay while they are worth good $$$ and not damaged.

Then go to something you know wont let you down at the worst possible moment

Very interesting!

I've got Cooper discoverer ATRs on the back of my Rodeo 4wd and they're chipping at the edges too.  I've got a pair of Firestones on the front and they've been fansastic but, of course, aren't made any more.  I had them on the back too and there was no chipping at all when I replaced them.

I've driven to exactly the same places with the Coopers...makes me think a trip to the dealer may be on the cards and an alternative will be going on the front soon.

I had my ST's replaced under warranty a number of years ago after bad chipping. I am very wary of Coopers and doubt I would ever buy them again.

I called in on the dealer who sold me the Coopers and he took some pics to email to the rep.  I mentioned that the front are up to be replaced soon and would be wary of more Coopers too.

Sorry for a bit of piracy on my part, but it's kind of on topic ;D.

I had Cooper ATRs and then ST-C; both chipped to buggery and started puncturing around the 40k mark. I took them all back to the dealer and ended up on Bridgestone DuraTracs. They are now at 80k and still have life; and they haven't had an easy life with a minimum of 10kms of rocks and dirt a day.

I had set of copper STC on Landcruiser Turbo 79 series about 5 years a go and got 10,000km out of the rear tyres and 10,000 out of a front pair and then 5,000km more on the rear i only just made it home as i had entire lugs falling off and i could see steel belt buy the time i got home. When i asked about if any warranty would be given and was told that it had been driven on a mine site so no. It was only a surface coal mine and I was averaging 1200km every week and only 200km on site every week. Luckily it was a work car so I was not paying for them but I don't think I be running with them again.
