Re:
If your happy with the 687's then put another pair on, but there are some really good H/T tyres out there like the Cooper CS4 which will give you far more mileage for a reasonable price.
Have a look at this thread to see what others have used.

Tyres
If you plan on leaving the bitumen at any stage, you will find the standard Dunlop tyre is utter rubbish and VERY expensive to replace.
A much better tyre, giving superior mileage, with enormously better off road abilty is the Bridgestone Dueller 697. I had these put on my TS Manual prior to delivery.
The 697 is cheaper than the standard Dunlop tyre which aquaplanes and handles terribly in the wet on bitumen and makes even basic off bitumen excursions way hardeer than they ought to be.
Ditch the standard Dunlop rubber immediately.
