I had them on the P38 and the D1. I estimated the potential mileage at about
35K, and I never damaged them or had a puncture. I was completely happy
with their wet performance too.

The Goodyear Wranglers I put on the D2 in May are now 1/3 worn after 6K
miles. Just had to fork out over a ton for a new one after Di got a "hole
in one" in Carmarthen. I'm not over-impressed. If BFG did them in
255/55/18 I'd swap back tomorrow.
