I have 9 D697’s beween the car & Tvan ... so I’m committed! So far I have less mileage than others here have reported with theirs but am happy with them & concur with others experience. Ony concern is reports that they wear out quicker than some other brands. Time will tell, but they are priced well, I found them cheapest if you get them from an actual Bridgestone dealer.
I was advised to rotate every 10,000 kms. 5000 seems a bit excessive to me.
Toyo Open Country are well regarded & were almost exclusively used by the many 4wd’s used to access te mine sites around where I used to live, mostly vehicles given a pretty tough life & constantly running heavy. I tossed up between Toyo’s & Bridgestone & chose on price.
$270 is a great price & better than I managed when buying 3 for the tvan recently.
