Basil135 has been running them for a few years and about to change them out as they are worn to wear bars.

He speaks highly of them.

And OzScott runs them on his D2.
He's done a few Cape trips, he rates them highly.

I should add, I’ve run multitudes of rubber on work LVs.
Switched back to Duratrac on the current LV after having punctures every day.

Only had one in 60,000km on Duratrac

They're XL LI 111 rated, not LT.

The LC injector values have to be read hot and cold,by someone that has the right gear and knows what they are doing.Injecters often appear to be faulty but the real issue is low compression.

Agreed.

I forgot to mention in my post is that there is an extreme irony in my son's mates ( missed out the word "son's" in my post) LC200 injector problem who lives opposite me, and my eldest son lives 200 yrds around the corner. My son had a 2009 D3 HSE from roughly 112,000k to 176,000k and sold it for a new Hilux 4WD dual cab in Feb this year only 'cos the Disco no longer filled the families outdoors adventuring requirements. He had the belts done and I did all services. NO problems at all in that time, incl two mainland trips towing a 1.5T camper van, but his mate the new LC200 owner used to regularly take the p..s out of my son and I for owning, quote, "LR pommie ****e".

'ol mate had owned a GU Patrol 4 cyl which took out a piston or two as they are known to do, but otherwise a very good 4WD, and then a BT50 Mazda prior this 2009 LC200.

Deafening silence now from our friend and has to re-finance the recent loan on his 'cruiser to pay the injector bill. How sweet Karma is.

I'd try CEM in it first. Worked for me. He might save 10k

I’ve had K02’s (agricultural) and D697’s (good initially but got noisy fast) but now on Falken Wildpeak ATW 285/60R18 LT and love them

Very minor rubbing when full lock in reverse right but AWESOME tyre quiet on road, perfect in sand and rock (12 and 22PSI respectively) but average in mud (to be expected as they’re an AT not MT)

Highly recommended

Hi Brian,
how many k’s have you done on the Falkens to compare noise with the D697’s and do you know if it’s the width or diameter that causes rubbing. I.e would 265/65R18 (2mm large OD than 285/60) still rub?
