I know that Continental will go longer if carefully driven as its harder rubber than GTRadails... If it was me - I'll choose Continental ones.

I could be talking totally out of turn here however I think that Tim(_Coupe) had a set of Continental's and I am sure that I recall him stating that they just did not last that well
Toyota 105 Series LandCruiser (that nobody on here wants to really hear about).
RX Touring Wagon - fitted out for 4WDing (currently collecting dust).
RX Project - will be road only at this stage (and currently taking way to long to finish).

I have used the winter GT radials before on 13in rims and found they lasted quiet a while on the L series and the MY wagons

You need to add some more info to answer that question:
Is it lifted, tyres for off road or road as well, what rims you got?
Sorry to be sarcastic, there are a few options for all of these, and I havent seen your wagon.
'03 Forester X, stock standard for now.

'89 EA82T Touring Wagon, 5-speed D/R, 14" alloy wheels, bullbar. (Past ride)

'81 MY wagon, 3" lift, 5-speed D/R, Weber, 14x27" tyres. (Past ride)

Hmm Dunlop Adventurers came out in a 185R14. Even though they are not on the Australian site - they are (or were a short while ago) available here.

Don't know how that would go without a lift kit...

Off Dunlop NZ site -:
