No problem
I got a pair fitted at Balderstones in Peterborough and have just completed a 992 mile 'tour' of Scotland on them, Got them fitted for a BMW off-road holiday to the Pyranees unfortunately they cancelled it at the last minute! The fuel consumption dropped with them fitted - on Bridgestones I was getting around 180 miles out of a tank - with the 80's I was lucky to get 150 miles per tank. The ride was OK and they seemed to be fine even in the wet.

I think I push it pretty hard on road - not much off road - and I got 3,000 out of the first and looked set to do the same on the second.
I ended up swapping the pair out in November as I just didnt like the feel of them in the cold and wet
but they are great tyres!
I've just changed my first rear last Saturday and it had done 5300
