Yeah, looks like Weeds was spot on. I did a bit of research when I bought new tyres for my Franklin when restoring it - ended up with Toyo LT's - been brilliant, and I've done just shy of 20,000KM with them now and they are still running true and in balance. Done a tyre rotation with the spare twice so they all have equal tread and I know they can all be trusted. Although my van isn't an 'off road' van, it has been down quite a few rough tracks and on plenty of dirt roads too. It's happiest sitting on 100 behind whatever I tow it with (85 behind the 101)
I've never skimped on tyres for any vehicle or trailer I've ever had - they are one of 'you get what you pay for' kind of deals - I know you bought yours like that, but for the extra few hundred dollars, I'd have ditched them from the very start to be honest. Maybe ok for a 6x4 you run to the tip a couple of times a year, but really not up for holding up your pride and joy that will potentially doing big KM and to out of the way places where getting a new tyre becomes more difficult than it should.
And the tip on the wheel bearings is worth heeding too - the new axle I installed that was 'ready to go' had only enough grease in the bearings to tow it around the block IMO. I cleaned and re greased them with my preferred grease straight away before the wheels even turned.

I looked at the Toyo LT but went with
these,, Yokohama Delivery Star 818,, I wanted something with unbroken edges, just thinking how much closer the van tyres are to the edge of the bitumen than the car..

I'll second the Toyos. My van is single axle so has 1400kg on each tyre. My 265/75 16LT Toyos have done 20k km & are maybe a quarter worn. I had them balanced them when they were fitted.

Hey Milton,,
is that a typo? or is your(beautiful) van really 2800 on a single?
