Late last year I replaced my BFG All Terrain 265/70R17 with another set of the same, except KO2 this time. Turns out I managed to get 80 319 Km over 4 years out of them, which is a new record for me. This included the Simpson, camping, and caravan trips. Granted, by the time I replaced them they were only just roadworthy, but roadworthy all the same. Rotate and balance every 10 000 Km and an alignment every now and again. My biggest issue was that when on the front they scrub out badly, to the point where after about 50 000 Km I spent $120 and had them stripped, flipped, and refitted which was money well spent. I reckon this time I will do the same at 40 000 Km. I also modified road pressures and now set to 43PSi for day to day road driving.

Just hit 90K on my original Cooper AT3s with about 20-40% left. Really keen to get new ones as they're looking pretty shabby and chewed up but they're still going strong so really can't justify it. Brand new spare too as I stupidly liked the look of the new on the back so never cycled it in. Crazy value for money and I haven't really done a lot to look after them.2013 Prado 150 Altitude
