    Off road on the new Cooper Zeon LTZs

    Gave the new Cooper's a workout today on some trails around us here in Dewey, AZ. Had some serious flexing goin' on and had no rubbing. Even I thought these bigger tires would rub in the extreme flexing, but we couldn't find any evidence that they did, front or rear. I had them at 40 psi.

    All in all, they performed great. Great traction and bite. And that extra 1.21" made a huge difference in the clearance. Cleared several big rocks with no problem.
    Check out that airborne rear tire! WOW!!!!!

    VX-KAT--- Hmmm, with that wheel up in the air; you just may have discovered a new way to change a flat tire without having to use a jack. Very inventive!!!

    Very cool!! Good looking tire, what size are they?
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Hardy har har John! I was JUST about to tell Dave this morning before we headed out that with all the excitement over my new rubber, the "stain" on the cladding was fadding a bit from my mind,....but then my Refinish/Restore arrived today.....and now you remind me of it too! so I'm going to tackle that project this week. It's going to be cool enough to do it so want to hit before summer kicks in up here.
