Have not experienced any loss of grip with over 60,000k's on mine, happy to buy them again.

i didn't expect 80K but my local tyre shop told me i would get close to 100K out of these and the grip levels are way more than i expected after 80K . As soon as i experience a loss of grip i'll put another set on but so far even wear and still grippy . So i'm happy to pay less per corner for a far superior tyre than alot of the other tyres out there. esp cooper at's . if that makes me cheap then i'm cheap but why change em if they are still perfectly fine .

When I first got onto them about 10years ago, I went to the tyre shop I have been using for a while.
I said look i want a good tyre at a good price, what do you reckon.
He said An outback overnight transport company, won't go past the Hankooks, so I tried them.
I've found them great, but having said that, if everyone starts buying them, no doubt their price will go up.
So maybe, it is best if everyone just buys Coopers.
I certainly don't have a problem with that, brand loyalty and price badge, is big in the outback.

Went back to Bridgestone and they said the tyres have never been rotated (despite the Jeep dealer having listed it as done on one of the services) so the tread has scalloped to the point where it is raised on the leading edge, hence the noise. They have now been rotated will see if the even out over time. They said its common particularly of you tow. I have towed my 1500 KG camper trailer for about 8 of the 30K but I wouldn't expect something this light to do this to a LT tyre.

Hi All, Looking to go up in size again from a 265/65/18 to 285/65/18 on the standard 18inch Laredo rims, no spacers. How many here have gone that size and any regrets? Any serious rubbing when offroad or is it just impacting the felt arch liner?
Would be great to hear some opinions. Have the outback armour 2 inch lift.

I saw the post by RYANGLER in here with his tire set up which is the same 32.6" size I am trying to go. Had a few questions on how his tire choice was going long term but it appears he hasn't been online for the last 2 years.

Have just put 275/65R18 Hankook Dynapro ATM's on my 2012 Laredo. Looking forward to the extra grip and clearance off road.
