Just ordered my 4th or 5th set from ryano (i cant remember)as dont want to get stuck up gulf and cape :finger:

Touring and hiway type work......... (Current set been worst but irregular rotation has not helped but could get would get to pretty dam bald 70 000) all others been 80-90 000kms..... on fully loaded gu wagon driven hard..

so as i have said before either
a)people are full of shite
b)they are hard on tyres
c)occassional batches are made of cheese :D

Tad over 10mm tread left after 30,000kms on the 33x12.5R17's MTZ's on the lux. Rotated every 5000kms with a 5 tyre rotation. Still happy with them and would get them again.

Quick update for those non believers -Just clicked 45 000 km on my new set and will likely get another 30 000+ kms from them on the pootrol. done gulf cape and huge amounts of dirt road work out west for work and driven flat everywhere. Couple of those 'flow cracks' around the bead type thing but drunk ryano assured me they are fine and its only cosmetic :D

Just about to get rid of my MTZ's. I got 50,000kms out of em and they are pretty much rooted. They seemed to wear quickly after 10,000kms. They were on a GU ute and were 285/75/16.
I used them as daily drivers but also plenty of varied dirt work while hunting. I preferred my Wrangler MTR's. I got 20,000 more kms out of them. They were well and truly rooted by that stage though.
Looking at KM2's next. Wasn't overjoyed with the MTZ's performance.
