Currently 42K on the standard GT's, will probably get another 10-15K out of them possibly more

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

The last new tyre I put on went for about 500m before pshhhhhhhhhhh bastard. You city people with your thousands of kms per tyre!!! Good grief, if I get to wear a tyre out (which happened recently actually) I have a quiet moment of bliss. The most I've gotten out here is about 15,000kms. Most of them end up with about 3-4 repairs, nearly all of which would have your tyre shop reaching for the new tyre catalogue (lucky I don't get to tyre shops often or it would cost me a fortune). My policy is that if I can make it hold air then it's in. Sometimes you don't bother trying, but not often.

Currently running a different tyre at each corner, in the process of changing over to the skinnier 245/70 size, so the line up is:
LF: Cooper HT 245/70, RF: GTRadial Savero AT+ 265/70, LR: Dunlop AT20 265/70 & RR: GTR HT+ 245/70. The Dunlop was just all I could get one time so wasn't my choice, the Coopers have yet to prove themselves, the GT HT+ seem to roadie and soft & the Saveros are what I've used most of so far; one more tread plie than the others and have done OK. I had BFGs on for a while and they lasted OK but were the worst I've had in terms of punctures.

Wow! That can't be good at all for your driveline! You've got different diameters front to back on opposite sides.

For a road tyre GT's are great for me, 62K and at least 20K more easy.

It's OK. I'm very careful to go around only left hand corners, slightly uphill and whilst decelerating. I also unlock one hub.

45,000 kms out of the standard Grandtreks..... Looks like I will get another 15-20 out of them yet, mainly highway driving, although they are copping a fair bit of rough stuff on weekends.

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

I have Cooper ATR 265/65/17 Passenger Construction.

Alot of opinions are negative towards these, but I wanted to give them a go.

So far I have gotten 67 846km out of three of them. One let go at 47 140km on the Gibb River Rd.

These had a pretty hard life towing a heavy boat and a van around the territory for 2 years on some pretty average roads. They have been put out to pasture with the move back to Brisbane, but I have been happy with them. Having said that, I won't be getting them again, for the reason only that I am wanting a 265/70 LT construction next.

Cheers, Rhet

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

Well I have done 24,000 kms on my Mickey Thompson MTZ's and they don't look worn at all so I would expect to get around 70 to 80 thousand out of them.

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

I've been running Cooper ATR 265/65/17. Done 47,000kms and they are shot. Very disappointing. Not putting Coopers on again. Done a lot of highway kms, towing a van and boat. Only been off road once. Got 80,000kms out of the last set on my previous Prado, so don't understand why I'm only going to get 50,000kms out of this set. Always balanced, aligned and anally retentive about pressures. I'm going to a set of BFG All-terrains. No more Coopers for me.

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

So far 65,000kms out of my BFG Mud Terrains (on 90 series) and they are technically half worn (14mm thread new down to 7-8mm), but legally I'll have to change them before I wear down the other half. The BFGs seem to get a bit of a bad rap at times but I have been more than happy with them. No punctures despite several long off road trips, they arent too noisy and have so far have handled wet roads in the city as good as any tyre I've had. I'll definately be replacing them with more BFGs. A mate of mine claimed he got 140,000 kms :shock: out of his BFG muddies on a Patrol - and he used to absolutely thrash them.

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

78 k so far out of Cooper ATR 265/70/17 LT, will do another 20-30k easy, No flats. Would definately go Coopers again, prob go up to ST for a bit more aggressive tread though.

Re: How many Km r you getting out of ya rubber

43K out of Grandtreks and 62K out of Coopers ATR's. Coopers probably had another 2-5K but were getting slippery in the wet. Just put a set of Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armours on. So far so good
