Hey guys
Question for those running Goodyear MT/R as daily driver tyres

Wonder what sort of wear, how many KM you are getting out of them
Cheers

I am pretty sure strange rover's business partner got 80,000K out of his first set on a 3tonne rangie.

I have had 12 months of dd use out of mine and they are wearing very well - I expect another 12 months out of them - probably around 60,000K all up I guess at this stage

Tom

you will get numerous answers.
one dude said 20,000klms dont know how many burnouts he did, but ive done heaps more than that and still 85% easy.

I have about 20000 on mine so far and hardly any wear, just chips and chunks ripped out from off-road use.

same.. i done about 15.000ks and they have dropped from about 17mm to 15mm. wear is good and even.. only thing is they chip and chunk when offroading.. have few 1/2 lugs missing...

vehicle? mav shorty with 5 inches lift tb42 on gas

A guy i was chatting to had 40,000 out of them on a dual cab hilux and had a heap of wear, was replacing them and wouldn't buy them again. Great offroad but wear out to quick he reckons. but once again, dunno how he's used them

my last set (235-75-15) did about 50,000km on a Nissan X-Trail wagon, and then another 10,000km on my vitara.

they are still good to use now, as they have about 5-6mm left before they are dead bold, (past wear indicators) and i've also found that they wear a lot less when you get down to the last 1/4 or so of tread.
these tyres are 3 years old and the spare is brand new!

the new ones i have on my vitara haven't worn much at all, but have a bit of wear on the front side of the lugs (i think from accelerating on road) and whatever gets taken out when off road.

i'm planning on about 3 years on my vitara, maybe 4 before they wear down to nothing, or until i get bigger tyres.

I think one of the important factors relating to wear rate is inflation pressure. I run mine at at least 40psi on-road (8-9psi offroad). I found at lower pressures they would squirm around too much. They don't wear unevenly.

I have found them reasonable, but definately not getting the same wear kms as I did on my BFGs.

At a guess I would have got 80thou on the 32" BFGs and reckon I'll be round the 50 > 60k km mark with these 31" MTRs

But the MTRs are heaps better onroad due to the softer compound, esp in the wet. I run them at abt 35 Psi.

On road - no idea and I don't care too much...

Off road they love rocks and rocks love them - they are quick to wear if you are hard on them but that's what you get - I estimate they hold up better that BFGs in that area.

I had mine on my d/cab lux for a couple of years, they'd done about 5 thou when I got em and did about another 70 odd thou before I replaced em and they had worn well.

Didn't think MT/R's were available couple of years ago.

Been available for at least 3 years more like 4 now I would say.

i havnt been real impressed at how they have worn

ive done about 15000 and they have good rounding over of the bloks

and have lost 4-5 m of block height

I had 235/85/16's on my dual cab lux....and got about 50k out of them and they were pretty well farged. Way better than the previous BRG MT's on road though and better wear IMHO.

I was pretty freekin hard on them though and i reckon that floggin them on rocks etc prob wore them quicker than HWY use?

just use till they were out then worry about them
if you wont klm on tyre rotoate & flip every couple of thou then you should be able to get good klm out of them
got them on the 40 i just dont go hard on road

sorry about the speeling been to the pub

Cheers guys
As long as i get over 50 thou i will be happy

keep the feedback coming

depends on how you drive, your car, hp, road conditions etc..

I've got 60000 out of my 33's so far and they have about 6mm tread left, and I rotate them regularly.
