My 285 durra grapplers arn't wearing to bad I have 20k on them now rotated once about time to do it again. I run 68psi in the front and 55 in the back. Its so easy to leave rubber behind with these trucks you dont even know you did it untill you look in the mirror. I'll be happy if i get 40k out of them.

IMHO 40k out of a mild tire is not really that great...

I get 50-75k out of most of my tire choices...

Rotate every oil chage...~5k

I have almost 25,000 km on my toyo's and another set on the way.

And I thought it was common knowledge with any type of MT or even AT tire you need to rotate every 5-8,000 km.

Thats what I have done and my tires need to be changed ( hence the order of new ones) but could last me till spring If I needed them too.

These are not AT tires. They are a highway tire similar to the factory Michelins, only larger...

My 285 terra gapplers have about 20,000 miles on them and are wearing great, I get the sam on the rear tire wear as I haul a gooseneck. I used to rotate every 5000 miles but as of late every 10,000 and have no problems, still got about 10-15k left would have had about 20k but I was a little rough on them at first. I may try the durra next time, heard good things about them also.

Nope, no heavy foot. Or donuts lol

Im not even going to lie, I think the tire pressure is 45psi. Id have to check. I know I do according the tire recommendation.

But some of that wear is due to my shocks. The front tires used to bounce on take off because I was running the shocks that came with my superlift. The tires began to feather pretty bad.

Im sure I will get more out of the next set...I have since got blistiens

I noticed the same with the Toyo's during the first 5k miles. After dropping the rear tire pressure down to 40psi and changing the SMARTY torque management to stock from mild the wear decreased greatly. Went another 5k miles before rotating.
