Something like the Bridestone Dueler 697 would be OK as well.
Gravel wears tyres out in next to no time no matter what they are. Utes are hard to get tyres to last as the rear is so light the tyres wear faster than the fronts.
Kumho has an A/T that is supposed to have better wear rates on gravel. Could just be their own smoke they're blowing. Personally haven't tried their A/T's. But their muddies have always been good. I used to use their tyres when competing in 4wd trials.
BFG A/T's are very good, but in similar price bracket to the Coopers. I found them no good for slightly greasy farm tracks though.
Replaced them with the Bridgestones and found them marginally better off road on the farm tracks I used.
The Goodyears I have tried in the past (including car tyres) have always worn very quickly. Won't get anymore.
The Dunlop A/T's I've seen on Hilux's through work all wear the edges prematurely and scallop badly. Makes for terrible wear and handling.
1 thing with the Coopers, is people are getting huge k's out of them making their value for money much better. I personally know a guy that has done 120ks on 1 set of Cooper A/T's in his Nissan Patrol. He does a lot of highway, gravel roads and river bed driving. Still has plenty of life left in them as well.
Some have gone through 3 sets of tyres in the same distance, costing a lot more in the long run.
