My kumo KL71 muddies on my jimny have done 45000km and have at least 80% tread left. The Goodyear MTRs on my cruiser are lucky to last 20000km, but then it does weigh 4050kg

I am very happy with the KL71s, originally I only bought them because they were all I could get in the size I wanted but they have turned out to be a great tyre.
where I live is very hard on tyres and they seem to cope well. Lots of sharp rocks and the temp is often over 40dgC

Have you measured the tread depth or is that a guess? Less than 80% wear at 45,000km would mean they will last over 220,000km. That sounds unlikely! Whenever I've measured mine I've been surprised how much they have worn even though they still look like new.

ETA Noticed you are running much bigger tyres than standard, so that must make a fair difference.

Measured them approx 5000km ago and they had between 11 and 12mm to the wear marker.
