Hello Brian,
Thank u for such a comprehensive respond. If it's just a characteristic of the tyre then what maker would u advise me to the best? Moose advised me Dunlop would a right choice as all round tire. I'd like to listen to as many advices as possible before investing in tyre change.

Thank u.

Personally I'd go with Moose's (aka, my Dad) opinion. He has a lot of experience with Unimog's and I learnt pretty much everything I know about them from him.
One thing I would note in terms of wear, it seems to be the chunkier tyres that have the most unusual wear patterns.
I personally like the Michelin XML tyre, it's very impressive offroad. However, if you're going to be doing a lot of road/surfaced track driving, then I wouldn't bother with the XML, as it's an expensive tyre and wouldn't be worth the investment, it also has a tendency to have the unusual tyre wear.

I may be totally wrong here,

but could it not just be the tyre compound? as it looks like its wearing in an a-b-a-b kind of pattern.

not that I am from an offroad background, but it looks to me like it could be a tyre that's almost 'all purpose' so the nobbles would be in rows of hard and softer compounds?

like I said I am most likely wrong, but hey ho

It could be  this, would certainly make sense, the only way to find out if the compounds were different is to contact the tyre manufacturer themselves.

Cheers, Brian
