Crikey Mate if it wasn't for Bad luck you wouldn't have Any luck at all [bigsad]
Sometimes it does seem that way, Trout. Still, as the best Beatle used to sing, "All Things Must Pass". This time next year I hope to be somewhere else in this great country in a Defender camper. Might bump into you while I'm at it.Quote:

wasnt impressed with the life of the Geolandars...50,000 and two weren't quite legal anymore...
What pressures were you running on the Geolanders?Quote:

So I'm expecting mine to need replacement at about the 75-80K point.
I have been running Yokohama AT's for over a decade now on various 4WD's and 75-80k is the average mileage I get out of them, The set on my D2a are shaping up to do exactly the same [thumbsupbig]Quote:

I have had one puncture in over 50k and that was a tech screw I picked up in my back yard. No issues with sidewalls, bulging or any other dramas with the tyres.
Tyre place wanted me to run 32....I ran 36 in the front and 38 in the back.
ive had about 3 punctures, mostly picking up screws but ons was a razor blade of all things...
the sidewall split was a sharp rock so I can't blame the tyre for that...
