Hi Blue
Like you, I have swapped over to the new Toyo AT 11 for the very reason you stated above.
Prior to this I have used exclusively the Bridgestone 694 and then 2 sets of the 697 in LT construction. My tyre life is for a set of only 4
tyres only and were rotated every 5k to give them the best possible even wear, but sadly by the time they get nearly 30k out of them, the wear rate would increase quite fast andnot good enough to head bush with them.
Our
tyres do almost 95% dirt and off road driving and are replaced when tread wear is around 50% to give me the best possible tyre protection. If it was not for the only factor of tyre wear, the 697's were a great tyre and never any sigh of chipping or the like.
So far the Toyo's have done nearly 10 k and are still like new and just as good as my old 697's. Time will be the
test, but if I can get 40k at 50% tread life, they will be replaced again with another set of Toyo's.
Time will be the biggest
test, but at this early stage, the new AT11 are looking great.
Cheers
Stephen
