I'm almost at 58000km and was going to get some tyres in the next week, but you've just thrown down a challenge!
Today I bit the bullet and got my new Kankooks installed. As alluded to in my post in the Duratrac thread, I could not guarantee a supply for the Goodyears which is no good if you shred one tyre and need a spare urgently. The hankooks were readily available from Perth.
I've only done about 15kms so far and they feel good. No doubt I'll get some wet roads and country miles under them very soon.
The original Wranglers got to 59,000km.

						SubscriberI have found that mine are getting quite rounded shoulders (inside and outside) with 42psi rear and 40psi front, so I have bumped the pressures up another 5psi front and rear - makes for a bit more of a harsh ride, but I will see if the wearing improves.
One thing I have noticed - with the higher pressure, the sidewalls do not bulge anywhere near as much

Chris / James - I assume your referring to road worthy-ness (ie. tread is down to the mound markers in the tread channel). What's the handling like though? Must be quite little slippery in the wet?!. Based on the current wear rate, I should get similar mileage with my Wranglers, but would question how well it handles after say 45,000km.
Thanks
Mario
We have had a wet April here and I did not have any traction issues with the Wranglers in the wet, but I was always aware that they were lacking tread depth and may be susceptible to aquaplaning. Mine probably had 2mm of tread depth left but I did not want to push things further into our wet winter season. I also do a bit of onsite/off-road work and wanted the change to the protection of an AT tyre.

They look the part Chris.
Please keep us informed how they go,good or bad.
Cheers
Andrew

						Hey Chris
Looking at doing the same, did you get yours in Bunbury? and what did they slug you for them?
My Wranglers are at 46000km and have plenty tread left but after 3 punctures in 3 weeks will be replaced before a road trip in June.
Hankooks will be the go.

						SubscriberDo you know if you got the 4 ply?
The reason I ask, is that I just noticed on Tyresales that they have a 4 ply version, and I am wondering if it is sidewall or tread, as it is $70 less.
Edit - sent an email to Hankook to ask this question
