Mostly off-road, motorway, country lanes, towing ?
If it helps I have never worn out a set of 4 GG ATs - IIRC got about 39k miles with the first set which I changed as I was going on a December round trip to Greece & wanted new tyres. Always intended to refit that set as there was lots of life in them, but never did.
A similar mileage on this second set, the car had done another c.40k miles when sold with decent trad left on all 4 tyres.
Most of my driving was "hard" but anticipatory. Country Roads, Motorways, off-road in shooting season, little towing.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.
2016 Discovery 4 Landmark
2011 Mercedes Benz SL350 (R230)
1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.
There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.

Pirelli scorpion zeros 15k if you are lucky!
The ATRs are meant to be much longer lasting so I bought some.

Agree about the Scorpion Zeros. I managed only 15/16k on my D3. Just replaced the Wranglers on D4 with same at 24000 miles. Mostly roads of all categories and not hanging about. 2014 MY Discovery XS Indus Silver. Sadly gone. Second last LR of forty eight years continuous ownership.

My duratracs lasted 50k and brilliant the previous gg AT maybe 25k although they did past an mot at that point but I'd had enough of them by that point.Just remember:-

Pretty good cheese if the set on the rims I’ve just taken off is anything to go by. Put on at 28k, 6mm all round (not new), taken off at 48k with 4mm front and 4.5mm rear. Would mean 58k miles if swapped over half way through and changed at 3mm, starting at 8mm.
