Its March 15, 2006 as I write this review. These tyres came installed, pretty much unused, on my second hand 2006 Land Cruiser Prado 120 V6, which I bought in July of 2014. My LC had been sitting unused for years, and I feel lucky to have found one in such good condition.
On closer inspection of tyres, after purchase of vehicle, I read manufacturing year mwas 06 and thought that soon these will have to be replaced, but surprisingly, these have held on well with a good 80% tread still left on them. Once in three months, I use 3M tyre coat which brings them to life, giving them a new look.
I can't be sure of the mileage thats been put on these by the previous owner, but I drive around 10k kms per year on tarred roads only (as in Hong Kong our territory is rather small with no off road tracks). These tyres are simply great - offering buzz free quiet ride, very comfortable, soaking up any occasional pot holes or uneven patches that come its way.
I find them great for when its not raining and do sometimes feel they could be a tad more grippy in the rain, but, every time they prove their worth. Can't say much about gravel, dirt tracks or rocky outbacks, as Hong Kong is a concrete jungle with well lit and well paved roads which see torrential rains in typhoon seasons. I would undoubtedly replace these tyres with same set when the time comes, which I figure is another two years away or maybe even more. Hope this helps.
