Hi all,
How many kms should i expect to get from my set of 31 inch goodyear wrangler ATR tyres on my cruiser ute with 90% of kms being on road?
Cheers.

Hi Brian, I got 60Ks out of them on my Isuzu MU which weighs 1700Kgs and about 90% bt as
well, had them changed around and balanced as per warranty and thought I should have got more.
Cheers Bruce.

i got my set in march 2007, done 21,000 and one rotation since. They look like they are 50/60% tread remaining. i used to have tool boxes, but now tow a trailer instead. 90% normal driving conditions.
i estimate to get at least 40,000, which sounds at lot less.

I got 45K out of my set and it was mostly on road kms. I prefer the BFG's over the Wranglers just for the mileage I have gotten out of them (approx 70K)
cheers Kev

There a performance tyre not a road tyre Although they do pretty damn
well on the road.
This was evident to me on the powerlines watching a TD cruiser in front of me with 3 inch lift and patrol with 265 both running BFG taking many gosto get up the fencline part.
After I got up 1stgo with 235s and no lift they asked if I had lockers.
If its for on road ty thBFG or the GY Silent armour

I think Wrangler ATR's changed their tread pattern about a year back. I put a new set on in 05, we did a few trips, including the
Barclay Hwy, up to
Darwin, across the top and down the coast to
Sydney. Plus a fair few weekends away in the Blue Mountains and other off-road caming spots. No problems on the rough stuff, then between 20-30km's had 3 blow-outs on the highway within a year. 80% of my driving is on the hard, so I finally gave up on them and run Nankangs now. Tyre guy told me he saw others with similar results, but GY wouldn't talk warranty because the tyres were shredded - because the blowouts all happened at 100kph+.
But like I said, they've changed the tread pattern since then.
NB: I
check pressures often on trips with my own gauge and run recommended pressures.

G'day,
I have done 80,000 on my MTR's without a hitch.
Rotate @ 10,000 intervals.
I have just retired them with 6mm left.
The vehicle is a 78series Troopy.
Only 1 guess to name what I replaced them with.

Yes, MTRs now have about 30,000km on them and looking good. Not a mark on them and at around three quarters of the original tread.
Rotated every 5,000km and pressures monitored/adjusted for conditions.
