15000km? That means that a set of tires would only be for one of my trips (sometimes two). I don't have the trade in option, so I would have to drive them all the way. I wondered will you suggest Coopers?
How usually my trip looks? Most of it is on paved roads, as I have to get there (over half of Europe). I rarely see any rain. Most of the offroad I do is on the pists so puncture resistance is very relevant. Dune crossing represents a very little percentage of total, but driving is fun and digging is not
. The tire should last at least 50000 km, be resistant to punctures and good for paved roads. As I can carry only one spare I also hesitate to go to 33" tires, as in Africa it's quite hard to find them (but it's very easy to get a 32" tire).
Another querstion is: are the tires sold in Australia the same as those sold in Europe. REVOs sold in Europe are surely not the same as the ones sold in the US.

P.S.: What about Cooper S/T 10 ply rating in 265/75R16? I've heared very different opinions on that tire.
