A strong buy for family 4x4s that do weekend desert trips and daily highway mileage; it holds up well to summer heat when pressures are checked weekly.

Cooper tyres are available in the UAE through specialist 4x4 tyre dealers and online retailers, mostly in 16–20 inch SUV and pickup sizes such as 265/70 R16, 285/70 R17 and 275/55 R20. Some stock is imported from the US or UK, so ask for the DOT date: anything older than about 2 years at fitting is not worth accepting. Cooper's light-truck (LT) sizes run at higher pressures, so follow the load table rather than the car's placard if you switch from a P-metric tyre. We can supply and fit Cooper at your location with 24-hour mobile service.
