well you said you do about 1000km a fortnight, 50 thousand kms gets you 2 years of driving for $800...... Sounds good to me.

I run bighorns on my lux 33x12.5x15, great tyre cant speak highly enough of them. Mine are about 9mm left now from about 16 or whatever they are brand new and they wear great. done about 35000 kays on them, iam very careful of pressures tho and always rotate every 5 to 10 thou. They are absolutely great offroad, they bag well, grip well and clear mud like they should.
little noisey on the road now they are wearing down but for the almost 2 years i have had them i have never had a punture and i drive over 70 kays a day to work (round trip).

I would buy a 5th sooner and rotate using that you will get more life out of them if you are wanting to try and get as much as you can.

Our trip to Glasshouse Mountains in 2009, was a major deciding factor in these new tyres :lol: as my current ones just weren't cut out for that sort of stuff- outback touring, yes, this stuff NO!

Now that's what I want to hear! :D I too plan to be regularly rotating and aligning them to prolong the life. So it seems that you will get approximately 70,000km out of your tyres, and you drive the same round trip distance to work as I do...

I dont see 70,000km being to hard to reach. I have given mine a hard life over about a year and a half on two different cars, they still have plenty of tread left. Shale hills sliced/chunked them up abit but they are still going strong.
