I probably wanted to the first time it rained but I hate getting rid of tires with tread on them. I am really looking forward to getting rid of the GoodYears now though because its getting hard to get out of some of the steaper boat launches around here.

I will say though that the Dodge does seem to be easier on tires than my last GMC. I had changed the tired twice in 80,000 miles of highway driving. not cheap tires either.

I got around 36k out of them until a belt broke on one of them and i still had about 40% tread left. I opted out on buying just one goodyear and replaced them with a set of hankook ventus st's

The same exact thing happened to me, expect it was at about 35k miles. And I had probably around 25-30% tread left. The only main difference is that I replaced all 4 tires with the Cooper LTZ’s.
