Cooper Zeon LTZ tyres in SA ?
Hi there,
Does anyone know if these tyres are available in South Africa ? If not, any contacts at Dunlop - I've tried contacting their marketing department (no reply ) and the "designated agent" according to the coopertires.com website a Mr. Gerard Pondard (no reply ). I currently have Michelin Latitude HP 275/60/18 on my Disco, but will need to replace them before my next long trip.
From the other comments on this site, it seems that the Zeon's are good "all-round" tyres.
ThanksGolf and hunting keeps you humble !

Hi Guys,
As a side i have just put 2 new ones on my 20'' stormers and they guy said there were just 8 left in the UK as Cooper may be discontinuing them.
Shame coz they are very well liked here in the UK.

Sorry - had to get that off my chest !
Thanks anyway Heine - I appreciate the effort
Next question is which tyre for me now ? The Disco will be used mostly on highway but then also some serious off-road (mostly sand and rock) - any advice ?Golf and hunting keeps you humble !
I think Daniem has BFG ATs on his 18" rims? I have had no issues with the BFG ATs (245/75R17 & 265/70R17) during more than 100000km use.

Hi everyone - just an update - Mr Pondard from Dunlop/Coopers contacted me and is trying to get some Zeon LTZ's into the country for me . I will keep the thread going in terms of price etc.
