You mentioned your interest in the Bridgestone D697 earlier, I have these on my WK2 and like them a lot though I'm not sure you'd get over 60K out of them. Mine have done just short of 40K and are 5 years old. I reckon probably 15K wear left on them. I tow a 4m boat a fair bit and a mix of sealed road and gravel tracks to mountain paddocks. They wear even, handle really well in wet or dry and have never staked driving in lots of stick infested situation. They are noticeably louder now though.
