Keep your foot off the long skinny pedal for a minute or two,that might help I've heard the Nitto Dura Grappler is a long lasting tire,I have Terra Grapplers and love them but they are a softer tire.

I was running 37x13.50R20 toyo MT's. That was the best tire i've ever owned. I think i got 15 or 20k out of them.

I just put some Bridgestone Revo2s on my truck. Good treadlife warranty. I expect them to last at least 40K (which for me will be 8-10 years).

The Terra Grapplers have a 40k mile guarantee...
