on the blacktop with normally loaded vehicle and sensible driving techniques you may well get excellent performance and wear. In my case, I have a fully loaded D2 TD5 at about 3000kg all up (2500kg for D2 + 110L fridge/freezer and a **** load of tools) pulling a 6.5m caravan just shy of 3000kg all over WA... a lot of it through some pretty nasty countryside. It still amazes me as to what a great workhorse land rover actually made.

I had a set of Duratracs in 245/75R16 and suffered a wire through the side wall on one and a leak that no one has been able to locate on another.

I thought it was just me with punctures.

I liked them on and off road when the managed to keep the air in them.

I'm currently using 245/75R16 Bridgestone D674. Good off road but noisy on road.
