I won't use Hankook on the OKA because of the hard ride on poor surfaces.
I am a Michelin fan. I believe they have lower rolling resistance compared to most and that gives better fuel consumption which has more effect on cost per km that the cost of the tyre or how long they last.
Cheers,
Peter

 Hi,

Very impress with our choice of Michelin on the tow crew cab ute, would of brought Michelin for the caravan last year but due to covid tyre choice was bit of challenging settling on Kumho light truck rated as mud and snow but very highway oriented and quiet as. The bonus from our previous caravan tyres is marginal better fuel economy. 

Michelin Force LTX 265/65R17 load rated at 1120kgs.

Kumho Crugen HT51 235/75R15 load rated at 1030kgs.

I had Michelin on mine but could not get them at the time so bought Toyo Nanoenergy Van. Absolute crap compared to Michelin. I will replace with Michie whenever I can

I run Michelin LTX AT2 on my Y62 and Michelin Adilas commercial rated on my van. Michelin, although can be are a bit pricey, are a quality product with an excellent warranty.

Ive had that problem with quality of tyres not available at the time !! I ended up fitting them
on inside wheels on the back ! Kept better newer tyres for outside and front . My tyres run out of time before the wear out ! Rear can do 120,000ks . Dont like tyres over 5 years old .

 Michelin are happy to have their tyres retreaded up to 10 years old and I am happy to use mine up to that age.

Cheers,

Peter
