Hard to believe you'd get 100k out of any tyre without serious compromise in grip and road noise. I reckon 60-65k is about right for a very good tyre run at correct pressures.

When I gave the Commander to the son, and bought the WK2 Overland, I bought a set of 18" rims, so I could fit the Dynapros.
The 20" rims and tyres are in the shed.
Hankook didn't do a 20" Dynapro tyre. lol
I thought about the Nitros, but have had such a great run on the Hankooks, easier to change the rims.lol

It's hard to believe there is 1TB usb thumb drive, I would have thought 256GB, would be the maximum. I guess times move on.

I understand your scepticism, if you were a little closer I'd be more than happy to have you come for a drive in my GC with 70,000k's on the Dynapros. In all transparency I will declare that I have six wheels fitted with these tyres and rotate them through.

Cheers

I run Cooper SRX H/T on my Grand now because it's rarely used for anything more off road than a beach or fire trail run, which Highway tyres are great for.

I generally found myself running out of wheel travel / clearance before I ran out of tyre so off road biased all terrains/mud terrains were a waste of time.

The Cooper SRX size is 265/65r18, only slightly bigger than stock but stock size looks too small if your is lifted (personal opinion).
