Hey guys,

I have had my '07 QC Hemi for about 5 months now...(love it, my first truck) and I am wondering if I will be replacing the tires before my lease is up. The truck is used for my personal needs, and also for my mobile detailing business to tow my 12' enclosed trailer which weighs no more than 3,000#. I signed up for a 27 months lease with 15,000/year. Do you guys think that I can stretch out these tires lifespan until turn in, will it be close, or will I need to replace them sometime? Also, what about front brake pads? how long should they last me?

Thanks,

MyFirstDodge

You should be able to get between 30-40k out of them depending how you drive and if you take care of them (regularly check pressure, rotate with every/everyother oil change, ect.). Go to tires.com and check out their reviews for the stock tires, it should give you a good idea as to how long they last for most people.

I have an 04 QC 4x4 and I have 50,347 on the stock Goodyear Wrangler ATS tires. I'm fairly conservative in my driving, and rotated every 5k miles. I have a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A's waiting until I run these bald!!
