I read somewhere recently that tyres have a life of around 7 years,, used or not.

I think it was from the states,, lots of accidents, etc.

tyre companies being told what to do by there insurers---

BFG guy told me they say 6 years max.

Hi all,

So just to summarise, is there any major difference between the old BFG's and the new KO's?? I still have the orginal BFG;s on my 2001 Defender, and am over 100,000km's. The original spare is still on the back, and I've driven some hard roads with them in WA, NT, and QLD.

Its time to get a new set of shoes and I think I will lean towards the KO's unless I hear bad things. Any thoughts would be great.
