Time to replace tyres on my hilux, what are your guys thoughts on these tyres? How do they fair against other MT's?

I'm on my second set now - the first lasted 80000kms. They make no more noise than the Dueller AT. I didnt have a single puncture with the first set including trips up the GRR and around the Pilbara. I couldnt be happier with them and will get the same again when this set runs out of tread.

We have had a lot of trouble with blowouts on our Desert Dueller AT tyres size 750-16 on split rims on our Troopy. They blow out when the tyres are 2/3 worn and at various pressures ranging from 30psi to 55psi.

The last one was 2 weeks ago and there was a vibration for 5km before the tyre blew so I believe it is the tyre that is falling apart rather than the tube going.

We are getting a new set of tyres before out next big trip as I am sick of getting blowouts even though I still have 5 Bridgestone Desert Duellers left (3 are 2/3 worn, 2 are 1/4 worn).

Will be next year before we get new tyres as we have just bought another boat (28ft) and are now broke. (3 boats now).

One in NZ for our NZ holidays (3 to 4 mths a year). A very old fizz boat. We have the 12ft Tinnie with 15hp motor at home and have just spent part of out kids inheritance on the newish Gin Palace, the boat "she who must be obeyed" has dreamed about for the last 20 years - and if she wants a 28ft boat, who am I to complain, lucky me.
