Stock michelins with 65K miles. Still plenty of tread left. Rotate ~every other oil change (10-12k miles).

 

Hmmm, My Stock BFG's have about 35K on them, been rotated once, are wearing flat and all but lots of gravel miles and towing on gravel etc seems to be eating them fairly fast. They will see 50K I would guess.

 

The stock michelins wore well, but were terrible in eastside gumbo. Replaced them with Cooper ST that were far more capable, but still not quite good enough. The Cooper's (5 of them, rotated religeously every 3k) burned down to 5/32s in 16k miles. 14k of that towing a 6k boat. Tough choice coming up in the spring: Toyo yes, but M55 or AT or MT.

 

Hmm. with all this good info on stock michelins.. anyone want to buy mine.. they are off an 08 2500.. less than 1K on them...

 

Have the stock 265/70/17 Michelins. Have 102,000 miles, with an easy 10 to 20,000 miles left. Been rotated once at around 60,000. Never been rebalanced.
Probably 95% of the miles are highway at 65 MPH, with truck loaded light.

 

Still got mine too (stock Michelins), up in the attic in the garage with 10.7k miles on them.

 

I just got rid of my BFG rugged trail 265 at 60,000 miles with half life still on them, just put on a set of Toyo AT 285/75s and they look great on the truck. we'll see what kind of wear I will get out of them,

 

Just took off the stock Michelins 2 months ago with 86k on them with 1 rotate and no rebalancing. Still had tread, but some of the AR highways have groves worn in the pavement from heavy trucks, and I was starting to get that "pucker factor" when it rained. Replaced with 285 Nitto TGs. OK so far.

 

Hi, I'm still running the original BFG Rugged Trail T/A LT265/70R 17 tires that came on the truck. They have just over 50,000 miles and I think I've got 5,000 more before I call it good. I'm shocked at the price to replace them. I've never got 40,000 miles driving Montana roads, many gravel in the mountains, let alone 50,000! I've never got that mileage on any vehicle! For that reason I would buy them to replace the current set but let there be no doubt, THE TRACTION SUCKS on ice/snow!! To make matters worse, the users manual says I can only chain up the rear axle! By the way, the tires seem to be strong as I've pulled a loaded horse trailer multiple times with 9000# in the trailer for 20 miles, chained up on the rear, and they seem to take it in stride But I really wish I could find a narrower tire with the same weight rating so I could get better snow/ice performance.

I took my stock Generals off at like 5000miles as they totally sucked in the snow!!! I now have 25K on the SXTs I bought from Uncle Les and am less than impressed......

 

I think it has to do with the hard compound, same reason they last so long. I am going to go with Toyo AT's. A little softer, so better on snow and ice.

I also know for a fact that chains clear in the front with no issue, I am also positive they will clear on 285/70's.

 

I have 49,000 miles on the original Goodyear Wranglers--3500 2WD dually. They look like they are still good for another 20K miles. I run 65 PSI nitrogen and rotate them every 5,000 to 6,000 miles.

 

At 78000 I'm still on the original Michelins. And they are still knee deep in tread. I do a five tire rotation at every oil change. The way these are lasting, they'll go 100k plus. Truck is in my sig. Never off road. Used to tow a 24 fot car trailer. Only towing now is my 12' motorcycle trailer. Here in middle Tennessee, snow traction isn't an issue. No idea what I'll do when these wear out. Perhaps buy a set of you rich guy's new takeoffs! LOL!

 

Have 28,000 on BFG T/A KO's, rotated every 4,500 miles like the man said. Last rotation he said 4/32, so I will be sinking a grand before long into anything but BFG. With a 50,000 mile warranty, they should cover some of it. Tow a 20' trailer about 4 times a year, the rest city/highway. Michelin LTX A/T2 looks mighty fine, excepting the price!

 

isn't bfg owned by michelin???
