Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys first time post,
just seeing if anyone has been running the federal couragia m/t tyre for a while, i would like to know how they wear on the road and what kind of k's out of a set.
i have a set which have done about 2,000ks which were on my weekend 4wd, now i have a daily 4wd so they are going on that. im just wondering what ball park to expect out of them.

cheers

Hi danny40,
Ive done over30,000km on mine and they are holding up pretty good considering they are also my only tyres. They have done 1000s of Kms offroad, often with the patrol fully loaded and camper trailer on.
They have lost the sharp edges but still dig out of ruts ok. Ive had only 1 puncture and that was from a mystery object in a 2wd campground that we looked at whilst on a trip. Considering what I paid for them. I'd happily fork out for another set when the time comes. 285x75x16.

265/75R16's here... They are my second set of wheels/tyres but seem to be holding up well after a fair amount of abuse... I'll be grabbing another set when these pass, exceptionally happy with offroad performance...

Got mine for $225 each at WideTread Ferntree Gully...

Agreed, they're even predictable on wet bitumen - less can be said for my OEM's, having hit 18k km they are now woeful in the wet...

I got mine for $200 fitted.
Love them in the wet. as they have loads of grip. Very predictable when you want to get sideways.
They are great on high speed dirt. Haven't gotten stuck in the mud with them yet so Id rate them there too.

I had a set put on my car last week and so far quite happy

Spewing though, I payed $260 each

Not yet.
Have got mud in a bead after a bit of a rollover but that was it. Haven't rolled a bead off totally yet. They have pretty stiff sidewalls so I guess that helps a bit.
