Since first owning the 02KJ I have run:
1. Maxxis AT's for 30k replaced them with 40% tread remaining. A good basic AT. 245x70x16
2. Mickey Thompson ATZ's which I found a very good aggressive AT tyre. However like Pipes I experienced bad chipping when towing on the heavy gravel outback tracks. Retired them on approx. 60k with maybe 30% tread. 245x75x16
3. Hankook Mud Tyres. I found these a very good handling tyre both on & off road. Again retired these at 60k due to tyre noise as the tread wore down. Still approx. 20-30k tread left. 245x75x16
4. Finally up to retiring the KJ I ran BFG AT's which I travelled only 15k with approx. 60% tread remaining. 245x70x16

Now running BFG AT's on WB Grand
