Tires are a food group?
Seems they are on our trucks. 38,000 out of first set of Destination AT's and 21,000 out of second set (but with alot of front end issues). Just put third set of fronts on and going to do rears in a couple weeks. Fronts were at 0/32 edge, 3/32 middle and 5/32 edge LF, RF was 3/32, 3/32, 5/32, and both rears are 5/32 edges and 3/32 center.
I changed upper and lower CA bushings and the rack on this set so that's part of why this set of fronts didn't last as long. Not sure why the rears are center-burned.
I have the firestone lifetime alignment, toe was a full degree out each side, caster and camber were both significantly off. Funny thing I had it aligned in June.
After talking to advisor, pretty much going to get it aligned once a month if not sooner from now on, especially from how often I go off road. I still need to replace upper and lower ball joints. uppers are bolted so they'll be easy, lowers are riveted so hopefully can push those off longer.

they are an awesome hard compound tire, but very sensitive to alignment. my fronts went from some tread to bald in one oil change interval.
I have about 3,000 miles on mine now and there's no measurable wear on them yet. I got the lifetime alignment from firestone when I bought the tires and have already used it 3 more times (when I replaced ball joints, replaced tie rods, and took it back because the didn't center the wheel). I had them rotate the tires last time too. Not having to pay for alignments sure is nice.

I got the lifetime alignment and also lifetime rotate and balance too on my Destination LE2's. Money very well spent. I rotate here at home every other oil change but I get them balanced when needed. I have about 15K on mine now and had them balanced only once so far. My LE2's are wearing very well, hardly worn down at all, still a very smooth and quiet ride.
