Had some GBC Gators with about 1800 miles on them. They still looked like new. I went to larger Gators now. Haven't got very many miles on them yet. I don't do crash and burn driving so my tires will tend to last good.

1800 real miles. I'm one of those americans. At this time the machine has 3200 miles on it and this what is has had for repairs. Rear boots -- till i made a guard. A oil leak at bottom of cylinder base -- factory problem. Front driveshaft seal leak from trans side, mechanic nicked it putting back together. Thats it- Its a zuki.

ITP blackwaters 3000km ( had on 400 kvf 4x4 undriveable - maybe i had a bad set)
Mudrunners 13000-16000km (extream millage my preference- and tires still have some tread left)
ITP 589 I got 3500km and still wearing them (I would say 1/4 worn but only travel with these in snow very little dirtroad/ pavement)
Dirtdevils 5000km and 3/4 worn Alot of 2wd front tires are good back are down from spinning on gravel
mudbug 6000km They wear good and then with out notice they are toast.
Bearclaw are surpose to wear well.
this guy is full of bull sh**. i can understand 3200 miles, but this guy says he has 49500 km

No, you multiplied it. When 1.6 Km = 1 Mile, 49,500 Kilometers should be 30,937.5 miles total. Still a lot.

And the guy didn't claim HE drove them all. Doesn't it seem odd and unlikely that one guy would buy and ride that big diverse selection of tires? I took it to mean that his 'experience' meant that these figures represented his and his families machines and/or a club or group of friends. Mind you he didn't state THAT either.

Maybe being called a liar has p.o'd him and we'll never know?

A guy tries to help out by giving his experiences and you all attack him and call him a liar. He owns multiple machines with multiple sets of tires for each. As was stated, he may have information from friends or family as well. Its one thing to question him and ask how he got so many miles, but ridiculing him will only drive him and others away resulting in less help the next time you have a problem.
