Round ones in black are all the rave out this way. Ha ha ha ha

bridgestone duellers MT we have just ticked over 60,000kms and still have 4-5mm tread left on the 2 still on wagon.Mrs managed to shred one the other week so the older not so nobbly versions I took off with 7-8mm tread went back on to that rim and the worst of the remaining three... I anticipate we will maybe get another 10k out of them.BUT $450 each now.... we put the whole set on with wheel alignment and tyre insurance for $993 a few years back...that insurance at $23 per tyre paid for itself when Mrs shredded tyre as it got replaced with new.

Bf k02's big fan mine have lasted 45k of hard driving and still only 2/3 worn out.

I'm just coming up to 80k on my Maxxis A/T ones. Mostly road but a fair bit of gravel too and towing a caravan quite a bit on a 2012 Ranger that's just ticked over 200k

I previously owned a tyre store and had many customers with the same reviews of the BFG as @6x47 posted up, they go hard quickly, and hard equals slippery to put it in very simple terms.
Firemax was an economy tyre value tyres were importing but no longer do.
Maxxis Razr AT811 or Bravo AT700 both represent fantastic value for money. I had the AT811 on my 2017 Ranger, got 85,000kms on the first set and sold it on the second set, they have plenty of on road and off road grip and are nice and quiet. I towed a 6.5M boat, race cars etc on road, and a decoy trailer and UTV setup off road regularly, as well as long distance trips all over NZ with family
I run the AT700 on my wife's 2016 Prado and my Dads 2018 BT-50 and they are even quieter, with great on road and suitable off road performance, little less aggressive than the AT811 ( Razr All terrain )

I had great feedback on the Falken wildpeak AT also but I didnt sell them so cant speak further on that sorry.

Looking for wet road performance / safety over everything else as it’s the vehicle We use mostly when travelling long distances with the family onboard,never really towing heavy loads,only lightweight caravan or 4.6m Fyran.

Id go Maxxis AT700 every time in that scenario mate

Maxxis Razr are doing it by the sounds I'm hearing from a local tyre supplier. I bought Yoko Geolanders for my Safari but Maxxis would have been on top of the list if I didn't set myself a budget.

Ive gone from BFG KM03 MTs to Maxxis Razzr MTs, quieter on the road so far I like them.

I have had a set of Maxxis 980 ATs fitted on the advice of a friend in the tyre business. Quite a chunky AT and a bit cheaper than the Razzr. So far so good. I was running Hankook Dynapro MTs prior to that (which were good) but had been told the new model wasn't as good.
