tyre wear

[GK200]

Hi,

Just wondering what sort of Kms everyone is getting from the Bridgestone tyres OEM & if other brands are now being used & what KMs so far. Me, 36000 Kms on the OEM Bridgestones, I should get another 15K from them + 50% wear has been towing a 1650Kg van. I'm starting to think of replacements.

cheers

Nearly 50K and mine still have life left in them. I am only replacing them because one is damaged from gutter

Can't get the Toyos' anywhere near as cheap as the Bridgestone D400s, so I will be going Bridgestone again.

G'day.

I have clocked just over 51K on the 19" OEM's and will need to replace in the next couple of months. As winter is approaching (if we get one in Perth this year!) I was thinking of replacing sooner.

Got quoted ~$460 for the Toyo's and $297 for Falken ZE 912's. Could not find much info on anyone with the Falken's on a Kluger, but for the price I reckon it is worth a shot.

Anyone out there got the Falken's??

My experience is with a current set of Toyo's on a 2004 CVX.

Corner handling is absolute crap. Feels like the tyres could slip from under me at any time. I am comparing this to the Michelin's I had on before which were superb even in wet conditions.
