Well - final report on my set of N889 Nankang Mudtars. Just sold my lwb truck and can confirm the 33" mudgrips had done 67,000ks and were at about 6.5mms tread left. If I had run them down to legal 1.5mm tread, realistic mileage estimate 100,000ks.
My decision from 4 years Mudstar use on and offroad = this is a cracker of a general purpose mud tyre. Big chunky tread handled everything thrown at it very well offroad - slick grass, mud, snow, river gravel on club trips etc, plus good on road manners.
Have had many sets of muds over the years, and to my great surprise for all purpose mudgrip performance combined with huge mileage, the Mudstar is the winner. This is the one I will use for the future - will definitely be on my new truck.
Cobber recently put a set of 32s on his Safari LWB for hunting and at 20k they hardly even appear worn.
They've got a good reputation now and price has gone up some, but as an all round muddie this is a very good tyre. Have watched it far outperform other dearer name brands. Recommended. Note - not a substitute for Simex etc for serious 4x4 trial work.
