WK2 Off Road Tyres

[Bomber]

Well, my Dueller 697s have done 65,000km and are probably within 5thou of needing replacing.

Booked to get more of the same tomorrow, $325 a tyre. Very happy with performance in terms of wear and handling, see no reason to change from them.

Would go the extra but I want time for them to lose the shine before we head way at Easter. We're off to Outback Qld - hopefully Birdsville, in via Townsville and Mt Isa and out via Windorah and Cunnamulla .

Well, they're done... and I've discovered how noisy the old ones were at the end. It's obviously a gradual thing but I was certainly aware of the noise. Now the new ones are on it's quiet as a baby again.

What sorta life span are you getting out of these?

Sorry to butt in, I've been running the Hankook RF10's for the last 3 changes, brilliant tyre. IMO
Getting around 90,000k's out of them, cost for 265/65 x 18 $233 each. They are quiet on road and good A/T off road, great all round tyre, at a brilliant price.

I have found them to be great on rocks, and bag out o.k on sand. With mud, they choke same as most A/T tyres, I think Hankook do a muddy, but I haven't tried them.
On road they are really quiet, I refuse to pay $350 - $400, for a tyre unless I'm living in the Outback, also in W.A it is mainly sand, rock and gravel, not much mud.
