I’ve put 96k so far on these Yokohama Geolander G12’s which is rather remarkable & there’s still some meat left on the bone.

But I’m gonna be in the market soon. Size is 235/60 R16

What’s good at the moment? Anything better?

Looking at that same tyre for the wife’s Kuga. Good to know they last that long

I haven’t looked after them as well as I should have. I’ve only rotated them twice I think. Now they are louder than an Amaroks engine fan.

But technically they shouldn’t have lasted this long. I was told by a tyre guy that it’s because the vehicles weight is light on such a heavy tyre.

I'm still impressed with the Powertracs at the price.

but I see they don't have that size.... is that as big as you can go?

I’d go with Powertracs if they had my size. But it looks like they don’t.
