Thats not much mileage. The 245/70/16 BFG ATs I fitted to my Discovery 300TDi 4 years ago have done well over 80,000km and still have a fair bit of life in them. And touch wood no punctures. That is in my eyes a very good 'budget' for tyres. Adrian |

I agree BFG At's are an excellent tyre which I had on an old Terrano many moons ago and are renowned to last upto 60,000 miles without any problems however they are by their nature a completely different tyre to the more road based tyres such as the Nexen. Most AT's have a deeper lugged tread which are great for more offroad work and the deeper lugs should keep the tyre legal for a greater mileage in comparison to the likes of a Nexen with its less aggressive tred pattern and softer rubber compound which is much better for onroad handling etc but unfortunately has lower mileage capabilities in comparison to the BFG's...It's all about what you want a tyre for I suppose |

When I bought my 2000 RR with 42,000 miles, it had the original Michelin tires on it.

Well just to put my opinion across... I have owned FF's since 2005 and would not have a pirelli, wrangler or continental tyre on mine as a gift... I have lots of customers who have problems with bad wear/scuffing, saw blade wearing and generally bad experiences... Dunlop and Michelin are the best of the "expensive" bunch at not having many problems IMHO...

This surely just reinforces the benefit of independent and objective testing if you want the "best" (albeit not that there are many tests of 4x4 tyres). In general use, and not under controlled conditions, there are so many variables at stake I'm sure that only the most obvious subjective differences between tyres would be apparent. "Bad wear/scuffing, saw blade wearing" - that sounds very much like the car is at fault, not the tyre. I'd also be reluctant to dismiss an entire brand's various products on this basis. |

As promised i should have pictures of my refurbished wheels, the first 4 pictures are of the one i will be using as the spare and shows some of the damage. The remaining pictures are of the refurbished wheels, which were in a much worst state, not a bad job for �40 a wheel.
