Tire Life On Dirt Roads

2020 CX-5 Signature Azul Metalico
I've mentioned before that I travel daily over about three kilometers of rough dirt road before getting to the pavement. I've observed that tire life on all tire brands on several different vehicles I've owned over the years, (including Michelin on a Renault Duster) has been much shorter than what you would expect when driven only on paved roads.The stock tires on my CX-5 with less than 15,000 miles are already about used up. I would say the Michelins held up the best but none are sold here in the correct size for the CX-5.
 
I can't comment about tire wear on dirt roads, but can tell you that the OEM Yokohama Geolandar (G091?) tires that came on my 2014 CX-5 wore off 2/32"s front and 1/32"s rear in the first 2000 miles and 1200 of those were highway miles, not stop and go. No problem though, they got replaced by 3000 miles because I couldn't take the harsh ride anymore.
 
If you can get a set of those, I think they would be best for your needs.
