put them on with about 18k on my truck... they were used, 2 weeks old and probably had about 1000 miles on them (dont know for sure). Here they are today as my odo clicked 70k which means I have 52k miles on these tires. Have a look. still going strong with no tire related problems to date.

Steve, how did you know I was going to ask you for tread pics in the near future! [sm=hail.gif]

Those look really good for the milage you have on them. Better than I would have expected. I'm sold, I think I'll have to give them a shot.

 

I truely was not expecting them to last this long... I think I can get another 10k out of them too...

 

Have you pulled anythign really heavy while wearing thoser tires. I like them alot too but wonder how they would hold up when I plan to pull a 14k# 5er??

 

nope, havent towed with them. they are E rated though. I would think overall mileage would drop with a regular load in the bed or towing.

 

I have the same tires and have been very happy with them so far.

 

52K on off-road tires is amazing! How often do you check the air pressure? Big truck tires usually last 100-150k miles, but I've heard of a guy who got 400K out of a set of Michelins because he checked the pressure everyday. Did you recalibrate your speedo to correct for the larger diameter tires?

 

i ahve heard those are nice tires but is anyone running cooper s/t 's

 

speedo was recalibrated within about a month of the install. I dont keep an eye on the pressure like I should. I do get them rotated every 5~7k though.

 

I run the same tires (no monster lift) I hope I get 50k miles out of them

Even after the dealer re-calibration my odo is off a bit (like 0.6 miles for every 10) but I do have to play w/the numbers every now and then.
