I didn't go for the Coopers , I went with Maxxis Bighorn 265/70/17 , bought them through camskill.co.uk .I think it worked out at about €365 approx for 4 delivered to Ireland exc VAT
I'll post findings after this weekend once I try them out , wont be fitted until tomorrow. They're a beast of a tyre to look at. Bought them purely for mud. Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent

They look a decent tyre for the price.
What's the difference between the Bighorn and the Buckshot Maxxis tyres?? Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light.

I think the Bighhorn has a more aggressive thread Ron. Clearance between the lugs is massive and at least 20 mm thread depth.Side lugs aswell but not as prominent as Coops. Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent

Looking at the pice Ron , only difference seems to be sidelugs on the Bighorn and not on the Buckshot. Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent

Verdict : An absoleutely savage tyre , just eats mud.No problem climbing out of ruts , solid on rocks.Strong as they come.
Noisy on the road ( who cares , theyre offroad tyres) , haven't tried them on a wet road yet but I'll be taking it easy when the time comes. Don't take life me too seriously ..... it's I'm not permanent
