Thanks for all the info people, much appreciated.
Last night I remembered I ran a set of Hercules on my Navara and they were darn good. They use a Cooper carcass and their own tread rubber, so they have a good tough carcass on 'em.
Nitto & Kenda have also been mentioned to me as well.

I had a set of feds in a 35x12.5R15 and they weren't too bad. Now running Couragia cf3000's and I find them much better in the mud. Probably a bit worse on wet bitumen but only slightly. cf3000's are quieter than the feds were, throw better, seem to handle dry roads better, have been very happy with them so far.

I reckon I did around 10-15k km's on the Feds. They were probably around 75-80% tready at that, so would've expected to get to 40-50k which for a cheap tyre I'm more than happy with.
The Comforsor's, I'm probably up to about 3k km's. Wearing well so far. I don't daily this car so the kms come on slowly and usually involve a lot of offroad.

Thanks TD, but nah. A muddie at 50% is called an AT ;-)

I had a bad experience with Federal Couragia's. Apart from being noisey, uncomfortable and wearing fast, I was inspecting them one day and found one had started to split right down the middle. The rubber was actually splitting between the tread blocks and you could see the canvass. Took it back and the shop said they'd never seen that happen before. They replaced it FOC but still not very inspiring. Also had one suddenly lose all it's air while driving on the highway (unsure of the cause). I wouldn't trust them, particularly not in any terrain where you actually need a mud tyre. Speaking from experience only.

Has anyone dealt with this mob? $245 for a new KM 2 seems cheap. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/suns...km2/1147040709
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
