Then tyres don`t last when you smoke them with v8 power.
Maxxis on Yank Ranger will not see 40k km. Trailers did I mention trailers maybe 20 years.
How long should a tire last?

Usually all my vehicle tyres run out of km`s before expiry date. The most hated brand goes to 80k km plus.

Apoc and Wave hit the nail on the head
I would, if possible, money not a problem, change tires every 10000kms. Especially muds
Therefore you ensure tires that are new and have a lot of grip, almost all of the time

Reminds me of an interesting fact about haul truck tyres.
It takes 7 years for one natural rubber tree to mature enough to start producing latex.
It then takes another 7 years for that tree to produce enough latex to make one 57” haul truck tyre.
That’s 14 years for one tree to produce one large tyre, and then the tree is useless.
Flex is overrated

Good job some scientists figured out synthetic rubber.
A set of new tyres on a 4x4 is just as good as buying that fancy Makita drill!

Never really checked on my normal vehicles but my local tyre supplier showed me on my Ford Transit Panel van I get 120 000 k's on a set of Conti Vanco's. But then I'm the only driver mostly long distance. They normally last max 2 years.
