Tyre wear, tyre life, 750/16, 215/85/16, 205/16

Oh, if I haven't made it clear, I apologise, I always get the correct pressure and rotation....

On off road ration is 50/50.

Average speed between 75k/h to 110k/h ... Does that sound average enough for you?

Average load 2 people plus 500kg of gear.

No trailer.

Have you had experience with the 750/16?

I have run for quite some time on LT285/75R15

500 kg of gear is not much - what vehicle?

Hi Andrew,

It's a Nissan Patrol MQ, SWB, L28 motor

Hi Andrew, still waiting on your reply,

After all the questions, a preaching of no such thing as average, a very common word in the English language.... your feedback is missing?

How Typical !!!

um - what more did you want to know?

I am good for LT285/75R16 (previous R15 was mistake) on my much heavier HZJ105R (usually travelling 3200-3500 kg) with paranoid approach to inflation with Cooper ATs (old ATs not ATRs) to 80,000km approx - I've not had the STTs for long enough to know.

I am a careful driver, but do a big mix with about 50% dirt/50% highway including significant hard work (High Country; Nullarbor etc.) - not very average compare to most folks.

Usually truck compounds are much harder, the tyres larger, the tread patterns deep and straight - mostly designed for long straight roads.

Car tyres on the other hand, esp. off-road tyres are generally softer, the tyres smaller, the tread patterns are more complex for grip on corners, rocks etc - general car handling requirements.

All in all, there are lots of reasons not to expect truck tire like life.

Ciao for now
Andrew preaching typically.

I know all about tread pattern designs on various tyres as well as tyre contraction.
What I didn’t know is that you got 80 000 out of yours, that is what I needed to know. Thanks,
Bar the Indian speeches.

thanks mate, this is what I was guessing most people would be getting, around the 80 000km mark... give or take a few.

I've got the Kumhos At 235/85/16, which fit on the standard split-rims, my Patrol is done 80 000km with them and I think it will go safely to 100 000km, maybe more.

They're very good all-around tyre, good off-roaders too.

Of course I check the pressure on weekly basis and I rotated them more or less every 10 000km... or so.

Thanks Blue, spot on mate!

Thanks mate, I didn't know that about the 750/16's... I would've thought they would last as long as the more popular, fatter tyres, speaking of which, I've got Dunlop Super-Gripper in 750/16 on the rear, will see how it goes...

Thanks mate!

Now that's impressive, well done, thanks for sharing your experience!
