Are the walls on the mt 51 8 ply or 10 ply?

They are a modern 3ply same as all LT 4wd tyres. When looking at AT/MT research the ply as you can also get 2 ply (town car tyres) people get these to save some money then complain when the walls blow out

i have bridgestone on my Izusu bakkie at moment they are 9 years old but dont travel that much. I must now replace with new ones not because of thread but because of age. The dealer said Kumho are good tyres it is 245/70 R16 do you think it will be ok?

I am happy with the Kumho MT51 tyres but since they have an aggressive tread pattern, I wouldn't consider them unless you do a reasonable amount of offroading .
I have experienced a tyre failure due to age but it was double the age of your tyres and on a trailer .

I was under the impression that the mt51 had the m+s and 3pmsf approval but I can't find the 3pmsf symbol anywhere on the new tyres I have just purchased. Am I jist not looking in the right place or is it likely I have old stock before they put the symbol on?

I only have M&S stamped on the tyre maybe contact Kumho Australia for verification, plenty of tyre suppliers state 3PMSF certification too...

Incorrect tyre pressure. The tyre is either over or under inflated.
Over inflated will cause more centre line wear and under inflation will cause more outside wear.
