Night and day difference from before. Definitely one of a kind.

I'm assuming the Cooper's are the STT's? Those were my next choice when I bought tires. They work great from what I've seen.

Are you going to try and make it out next weekend to TSF?

Try assembling 5 of them, only to find out the tire shop didnt get the valve stems sealed, then tearing them all back down, and re-assembling them again.

Now that sucks...

High failure rate? What ends up leaking? I was thinking about a set of weld ons. Thanks

I could never get my tire centered on my DIY BL and they coned really bad. Never hold air that well. I got fed up and bought some Trailreadys!

i didnt want them to leak so i went buck wild with the silacone so that probably helped with them not leaking

Also, Jason, what part of the assembling did you do? I seem to recall somebody else sitting on the floor bolting those on and somebody else taking them back and forth and back and forth and back and forth to the tire shop...
