They so far seem alright to me. Apart from one blowout. They perform exceptional off road for what I do with em. They have hardly any wear and cant tell the difference from the ones I just bought to the ones on the car that have done 10000k

Coopers warrenty

Has anyone sucessfully claimed warrenty on a cooper. I have recently had one fail and did not get any warrenty. I find it hard to be able to warrent a tire anyway it is a consumeable part of a car that is destined to wear out
It blew out on a straight section of bitumen road at 100kph

Engines that are converted to run on LPG only are actually supposed to run cooler. This is to do with cam and ignition timings. My Commode runs on straight gas and the initial advance for gas is 16Deg BTDC but only 22 at full noise. So you are just trying to get a happy medium with your tuning and ...
