KRT Competition Winners on the Rocks with Cooper and Kankku

Crewe family firm Hopley Tyres enjoyed an exciting day of off-road driving at the Kankku 4×4 driving school recently, courtesy of Kings Road Tyres, and Kankku supplier, Cooper Tire. Dudley, Carl and Geoff Hopley travelled to the premier adventure driving centre in the beautiful Lake District countryside, with KRT branch manager, Mark Sneap, and purchasing and marketing manager, Tim Bader.

The Hopleys had won the trip in a competition run by Middlesex-based KRT and Cooper Tire at the Brityrex show at Manchester’s G-Mex Centre in May in order to showcase the Cooper Discoverer STT’s astounding capabilities off-road. Dudley Hopley said: “There were certain tracks we went up that I thought were impossible in any vehicle, but the Cooper STTs proved us all wrong.”

“When we drove on normal roads, I was also amazed that the tyres were not noisy, being an aggressive, off-road tyre,” added KRT’s Sneap. Kankku’s fleet of Land Rover Defenders and Mitsubishi Shoguns are all shod with Cooper’s rugged Discoverer STTs, which are perfect for the rock-climbing, mud-eating and terrain-taming activities undertaken at Kankku.

Brityrex 2009 is scheduled to be held at Manchester’s G-Mex centre between September 22 and 24 2009.
