    I was always a bf goodrich all terrain and mud terrain user but the last sets didn't seem to wear as well as previous sets not sure what has changed with them.Friends swear by the maxxis tyres and both had about 100k out of theres.The maxxis tyres I had were stuffed by 39k probably would have got a little more if they were rotated but they were prone to punctures and seemed soft in the sidewall.I have a set of mickey thomson on there now and have been happy with how they are wearing.

    Were they buckshot? Local shop won't put them on modern utes as they are too soft and terms to tear chunks. I am a fan of maxxis and have some bighorns iirc which are wearing ok. But they maybe m/t

    One of the sets on my friends were buckshots did 100k easily probably 18mths ago.Mine were the all terrain type of the maxis that my other friend and i had,His lasted 80k mine were shot by 39k both similar terrain and driving type.Mickey thomsons seem to be a lot better tyre so far.
