Had these tyres fitted the first week week we got Ute. It’s the 3rd Ute I’ve had them on. This one has towed a caravan to Mount Isa, came back to Melbourne via the Birdsville Track. The Ute also tows a horse float 3 to 4 times a week from Nov to April. It does 4x4 tracks up the Vic high country as often as I can get away with the other hobbies. They are a great tyre and I feel 💯 confident when out driving in all conditions.

CAUTION CHINESE MADE! I have 19 years experience owning 2 hilux's in that time. I know a good tyre! My rear sidewall blew out on a gravel Rd less than 2 weeks of owning them and less than a thousand KMS on them. Should have bought usa made tyres instead. Lift your game or just give up! Unless you like rolling with the punches!

Multiple punctures from 10km of gravel road each day. Tread has worn down quite quickly. You buy an off-road tyre, they tell you there is a warranty, but it doesn't apply once you drive off the bitumen.

Worked well on Stockton Beach and just did a 4000km trip from Sydney to Western NSW. Couldn't fault them on the outback dirt roads. What I'm really surprised about them, is how good they are on wet city roads. I rate them better then the Bridgestone Dueller H/L roads tyres I have on another set of rims. The Bridgestones are 5 years old and still have 6mm of tread on them, but I find the Coopers much better in the wet. After 5000km of wear, the Rugged Trek's are still quiet. Price was the same as Cooper AT3-LT's in my size. Very happy with them. I'm yet to do any rough off road or mud with them though.
