1 year after purchase: Best bad tyres I've owned
Bought these at a time when supply of my preferred tyre was unavailable. Did the Gibb River Road without too much issue. They performed amazing off road and handled everything I put them through. So if you're planning to abuse these tyres then they're perfect for you. But if you're planning on touring like I am they vibrate a lot, noisy when aired down and very difficult to balance. I spent months at a dozen tyre shops before going to a truck mob and getting them to add balance media. They're better but still not 100% Tyre life thus far has been good. I've travelled at least 35-40k kms on them with several thousand being off road and they have the odd nick in them as you would expect but still have at least 50-60% tread left. I don't doubt with regular rotation I wouldn't be able to see 80-100k kms out of them. I have had a minor split form in the side wall of one tyre due to "overloading" as a result of travelling offroad with the tyres aired down a little. I contacted the dealer who spoke to the rep and said I should have been running 70psi when I was offroad to prevent it even though it's common and well practised knowledge to deflate tyres to prevent punctures and damage. My previous tyre I ran no differently and never had an issue until I hit the wear markers. So for one tyre to fail I would argue to be a fault as none of the other 3 tyres had the same issue. I had tyre sensors fitted and monitored pressure and temp at all times and spent most of my time driving between 5-40km/h depending on road conditions. I've never been a fan of the bfgs and these still haven't convinced me yet. I think I could get behind them if the after-sales support was there. Especially given I bought 5 tyres at $500 a piece. For reference they are 285/70R17 fitted to a 2016 Toyota 200 series landcruiser with 4.2t gvm towing a 3500kg offroad caravan. Axle weights were 1650kg front and 2450kg rear (with van, 2150kg without)

Best of all tyres ever,buy one and you won't regret
Best tyres ever !
I'm very happy of my purchase
60k miles and counting
60k miles and I think I can get another 20k. Road noise does get a little louder as they wear but not much. Will buy again 295 70r 18
