Default Damn! looks like the end is near...

Pro Comp xtreme AT's are going on their last rotation (I think) this weekend...

Currently sitting at close to 85k miles on them and on 1 (and only 1) I see I'm getting close to a wear bar on the outside edge. I figure that pushing it to the back will even it out (eventually) but it is not a good sign for them. I was hoping to make it to 100k mi on them

I'm running my stock BFG Rugged Trails at 60 psi and curious to see how long they'll last. I'm with ya on the rotations, but don't know if I have it in me to rebalance. But, I guess that's what you need to do if you want em to last 85k miles!!!!

Well, I did it... paid $40 bux to rebalance them. Took the audi in for a free balance & rotation (coupon) and found they were not busy at all so I called Jr and had him bring the ram.

So I guess we'll be shooting for 100k... might take a while since the truck is on light duty these days.

not an everyday driver anymore... was commuting 3500 mi/mo in it until fuel climbed, then picked up a 1.8t jetta to commute in, then swapping over to an audi tt so the truck is seeing about 500~1000 mi/mo
