Coopers Tires
Cape York presents some of the most challenging terrain in Australia and during the three weeks spent in the Cape terrain ranged from well-worn deep corrugations and massive dust holes to mud, sand and jagged rocks on the creek crossings. Our documentary crew 4WD vehicle was fitted with Coopers tyres and it was good to know we could trust these tyres to handle all conditions. We found that the Coopers performed equally as well on sealed roads driving at highway speed and returned to Cairns with plenty of tread left on them for our next adventure.
