STT's for every day use or KM2's. No your not mad they are perfectly fine and much better than Grabbers!

I've been running on Mach 5s for some considerable time with Cooper STTs on road only. No spacers and absolutely fine in the wet. I am highly impressed with the longevity and performance of the Coopers. I have covered approximately 16k miles with them and reckon I will get the same again. The finish on the Mach 5s have stood up to the rigours of three Winters (two of them harsh) and I have absolutely no signs of rust or deterioration. I do periodically wipe them over with a rag and WD40.
I am pleased with the agressive look and went for 15 X 10 with a 40mm offset which does admittedly make the tyre (being 32 X 11.5) slightly protrude but was my saving grace when I had an altercation with a Citroen driver..... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic4297.html?highlight=citroen For me Mach 5 was the best personal choice and one I would make again if I was in the market for a set of wheels. With regards to insurance claim them as being fitted. I did and it cost me nowt.  Click image to enlarge If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Sawtooth gets my vote but then I'm a little bias
 It's good to be back from the dark side

Steve,
Well worth the effort though if you're on a tight budget, the improvement quite amazed me! 
Back on topic....
I hate wheel cleaning....Worse ones for me were historically BMW cross spokes, easiest Saab Aero Vikings. The Mach 5s come in a very close second to the Saab ones. On the Mach 5s (plus ZUs I presume) the ease and thoroughness you can clean them is a HUGE bonus for me. You can actually get your hand through the spokes with a rag to clean the entire wheel not just the external facia. All four wheels can be cleaned without the need for brushes etc. in a matter of minutes. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Mal, as I have said before your truck wheels look great
As you have had them for a while now and seeing as a change is as good as a rest maybe we should just swap wheels.....
Powder coating the boosts could be an option - yours are looking good JSG. The point about the ease of cleaning on the Mach 5 and Zu is very interesting and worth adding to the mix. I bet the Sawtooths are a bit of a bugga to clean. Anyone got a pic of Zu with STT on a Stornaway Grey? Proud owner 110 Utility XS Ex RR Sport HST V8 Ex Td5 90 |
