New tyres - advice and opinion on choices

Not a bad table, as with everything you have to use it as a guide.
A couple of things that stand out are: 1- Total miles for BFG's far outnumber the rest; 2- How did the Pirelli's score better than the BFG's???
I don't know if I'll take a punt on the General's as they are an unknown quantity. I'd like to go with the BFG's but a couple of retailers have said they are in short supply. That leaves Mickey T's or Coopers.

I was talking to a guy at City Discount Tyres who said there was still issues with booming from the rear using the 697's. I thought I read on here that some said that the 697's weren't as good on the tracks as the 694's. Can you let me know what your opinion is?

Mix messages, others say the 697's are better off road, which makes them pretty good, i have had BFG and pirelli and reckon the bridgies are better than both, coopers and Mickey's i cannot comment on never used them but let's just opinions are arseholes, everyone has one and for everyone that says their tyre is the best their will be someone else that thinks it is crap.
All i can say on my 4WD i have one set of BFG's dead set dangerous in the wet, one pirelli, very good not sure about the wear as i sold it before they wore out, 4 sets of bridgies, 3 of them have been on Prado's.

I went on a 4WD trip with a local club the other weekend, many of these guys are old-timers and have been doing this for 40 odd years. Out of 14 vehicles, 8 had Cooper STs, 2 including mine had Cooper AT/3s, 2 had BFG M/Ts, 1 Maxxis, and one guy had a 60 year old jeep and not sure what tyres he was running
