Have to agree with GB.
Either the old BFG All-Terrain T/A's aren't suited to tropical climates or they send shite stock up to the top end.
We have a small fleet of Prados at work that have the old BFG AT T/A's on them - they only last 20-30,000km regularly running the Tanami and Duncan roads amoung others. Gone thru 2 sets each year - tyre dealer very happy
My partner bought her BFG's about 1 month before the new K02's were released. She got 245/70/17's.
I waited and got a set of 285/75/17 T/A K02's.
We both hit the Gibb River road in out own lux's - her tyres started to shred on the first day...
Rear tyres first to get cut up. Had to plug a couple sidewall tears up with sealant.
Approx 1500km on the Gibb + side tracks. Some slow bolder/rock crawling, sand + sharp shale/rock at 70/90km/h.
About 5000km - mostly on sealed road as these are used as daily runners
Compared to the T/A K02's:
Not a scratch
Admittedly these are larger tyres and have only done 2000km total - for track use
Partner looked at my tyres and turned a little green after the first day

For dailys I run these:
BFG Rugged Terrains - these have also done the Tanami - no sidewall tears, no tread chunks missing.
Approx 3500km on these
Waiting to try these in the wet but so far, very good. Great on the seal and surprisingly tough off road.
Will need to assess and report again in 20K
