word of caution, i bought some brand new yokohama g012 tyres from a member on here a couple of months or so back have done 1300 miles or so since, however today at 80ish mph a tyre blew itself to pieces literally thankfully nothing nasty happened and in all honesty after the event i was super impressed with just how stable the nav was perhaps if it was a rear it may have been different, anyway to the point, i have done some research since and have found out the weight rate of the tyre is actually below what it should be, they are rated as 115s ie 1215kg per tyre there are two models of the same tyre 3 were LT one was not, the one that failed, no blame is apportioned to the seller they were wrapped in the suppliers wrapping when i got them, needles to say they have now been removed and junked and a set of grabber AT3s fitted in LT 8ply , to be honest the yokos were ok but felt squirmy the grabbers which i have had on my jeeps before are brilliant, go check your sidewalls especially on ATs which can have two versions.

I might be wrong, but I thought the rating for the Navara tyres was 110 or 112, so surely 115 would be suitable? Isn't it more likely that something punctured the tyre?
Useful post though - some of these tyre specs are not always clear made confusing by multiple variants.
110 on D40 and 108 for NP300
