I run the Cooper Discoverer ATR on all my trucks they are good for at least 50K if you keep them rotated.

Sweet Jebus! That is one bad *** Ram!! (I watched your vids)

Ahhhhh...won't happen in this life time though, unless I hit the lottery.

So what all have you done to it?

Oh, and I do like the black on silver, very understated coolness. :-)

Sounds like you have a problem. I have over 40K miles on my Nitto Terra Grapplers, and they still have plenty of tread. And I pull a trailer 5 days a week. Have you had an alignment, and shocks?

shocks are almost new (Bilsteins), front end was aligned the same day the tires were installed.

I would think it might be alignment if the fronts were wearing far worse than the rears, but that's not the case. Even the rears have worn just as fast the fronts.

For the price of tires, I'm not going to chance the Nittos again and will try the Pro Comps.

did you buy the P tires or LT's? because there is a large price difference and a large wear difference. more than likely if you go look at your sidewalls they are the P tires. that would explain your wear those tires arent made for the weight of these trucks

Not sure about the LT or P, but I do know I got load range E tires. I was looking at the 295's, but could only find them in load range D, so I went with the 285's.

I will have to look at them tomorrow while I'm re-wiring my Hella lights (I did a quick job on them initially because it was raining and cold and just wanted to get them working so I could actually see while driving home from work).
