Default Tyre survey

Hi all,
I would like to conduct a little survey on tyres, partly for my own curiosity, but also may be of some interest and assistance to others when looking for new tyres.

I would like you to answer this thread with the following information:
The brand and type of tyre you are running eg: Highway tread (H/T), All-Terrains (A/T) or Mud (M/T) and current K's and how they are wearing.
Secondly, and probably most importantly, what tyres you have had previously on your WK and what mileage you got out of them.
I know there are other considerations : grip, off-road ability, noise levels, resistance to damage, price and value for money etc etc, but if you could keep the comments simple for the purpose of this exercise please, and relevant to WK's only!
At the end of a few weeks I will do a summary of responses.

Bridgestone D697 LT A/T's that are 3 years old and done 30 000 k's. Wearing well and even, I reckon 50% useful tread left. They are now starting to get noisier though. These are my first set on the WK2

Original fit Michelin Latitude Tour (HT), 78200 km, shoulder wear on front tyres, rears wearing ok, about 3mm left to tread wear indicators. Looking to change to AT’s by 80000km - possibly RF10’s, D697’s or Supercats

Cheers

I had Coopers STMaxx LT275/65R18, got 50k out of them, but a lot of my driving is tight winding roads and heavy braking/acceleration, so if it was just hwy miles I'd probably get a fair bit more out of them.

Just fitted Falken Wildpeaks, only got a few hundred KMs on them, a lot quieter.

Pirelli Scorpion Verde's. 15k up so far, no sign of wear (I tow a van quite a bit), great ride & grip, very quiet. Perfect for me as a premium road tyre (rock crawling or mud sliding not on my agenda).

I fitted a set of Nitto Rydge Grapplers around 10000kms ago, they have been great so fay. Sort of a hybrid tyre between AT and MT though no nosier (when first fitted) than my last set which were BFG KO2s, same size 265/65 18. The BFGs I changed out at 60000kms still had some tread left though the front left developed some bad uneven wear and making a hell of a racket. Happy with the Nittos at this stage, bit of trail work and seem good on the wet roads and no signs of unusual wear.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W in LT275/65R18 for just 1000km. Quieter than previous General Grabber AT2 in same spec.

I had the General AT2s on two vehicles, and occasionally ran other 20" rims/tyres, but conservatively estimate they did 40kkms, with maybe 60kkms projected. I felt that they had lost their best wet-weather performance, so last rain I decided they'd retire early.
