I am not sure how people get so much mileage out of tyres - it seems all my cars are wearing out below 20000. The toyo A25 OEM tyre lasted the longest so far at 18710km. Sure I don't putt along but the wear is not to one side of the tyre to show I corner hard. I do not drive at excessive speed and stay on the bitumen although my road is winding, abrasive, bumpy and the odd cuts on the surface. Travel 25km per day at work and occasional fire trails. Yet four cars in a row got the tyres all worn out! These days I even make sure the pressure is not too low. I would take the blame as the common factor but surely the tyres were meant to handle speeds of 90km/hr - that's about the fastest I go in the local area. Another common feature is - all these tyres that got worn out were OEM. Anyone got any suggestion whether I would be better off with a more A/T tyre than those H/T type for the Navara Np300?

I had the Toyo open country h/t. They were VERY quiet and gripped great. I have since sold the vehicle and still have contact with the new owner. The tyres have now done 145,000 ks and still have 5mm to the treadwear indicators.
My new vehicle is an Outlander as well and I have fitted toyo's as well

Wanting to replace the OEM Bridgestone Duelers on my Mitsubishi Challenger diesel automatic RWD which has currently travelled 75,000 kms, with a potential to do over 100,000 kms. Never been on unsealed roads but regularly tows a 2500kg van. Opions please on the Toyo Open Country HP tyres for my situation?

My feeling is the Toyo is a softer compound, and in your situation 'maybe' the Duelers would be better, in your case being RWD, towing. All the weight and wear on the rear tyres. Ask your dealer 2 simple questions. Which has the most ply in the wall? and which has the hardest compound rating?

If you are doing any no off road driving at all, then similar tyres. I am currently running both on two 4wd's, a Ranger and a DMax. The Toyo will give you better water displacement in bad weather conditions due greater tread spacings / aggressive tread. A comparison I found online rated the Toyo 86% above the Bridgestone 79%.

Hi Mahen,
Thanks for the question, I'm unsure if they would suite your Mazada, all I can say is I got nearly 90,000km out of the set of Toyo I purchased the current set I have are going well, with all this wet weather we are having in NSW they are secure on the road and it takes very deep water at 110kmh before they start to squirm through run off. I originally had the Bridgestones (cannot remember model) but they were too expensive to purchase. Good luck with your purchase just remember to rotate every 5,000km to get the most out of the tyres.
Cheers

Hi Glen, I know nothing about Nissan's as previously worked for a different manufacturer and have never towed anything except when I owned a v8 Commadore. The only advice I can give you is that the tyres that I got 90,000km out of did no towing what so ever as 4 cylinder RAV4 not really designed to tow anything unless you what a noisy differential. Sorry I cannot help further. Regards Mark
