    I get about 70,000 out of the BFG Mt's, after sixty they are showing wear and of course tear. Side wall ripps and lug chuncks missing. I do use them daily (well a lot of the time) and not so much highway. A good part dirt road and of course a bit of off road. They are good though.

    Regards,

    Yea at 100,000 mine were no good for off road work due to such low tread but were still road legal.

    I've done around 30,000 on my set of 35" MTZ's, they're around half now and after the weekend in the scrub are getting a little low for muddy stuff, but will get through till next year, I'd day I'll be replacing them at 60k, although mine aren;t driven on kindly

    Fully agree....

    Life of a Muddy vs Legal life of a muddy is very different....

    I change my tyres out at 50% wear, by then, they are no longer useful in mud.

    My tyres usually only get driven 30,000km before I sell them off..

    Yea, been thinking of changeing them, but having a set of centipedes also, kinda stops me, although I never seem to put them on anymore

    Currently running Kuhmo KL71 think I have done around 20-30k on them, probably about half tread now. More than likely get another set before the Cape trip so I have matching spares and don't have to outlay for new tyres to carry as spares.
