I run BFG AT KO's.....get 70-80,000 miles out of them.....do rotate but abuse the heck out of them, and I do run a Smarty on # 9.

 

Can't offer any mileage wear, as I just put a set on in December, but I am lovin em; a far better improvement over the stock Rugged Trails; they have already served me well on the slick gravel/sand/piggy poo mud going to my hunting lease and run like street tires; I'll be buying another set when they do wear out, especially for the price; good luck

 

i'll never understand how anyone gets 80k-100k out of a set of tires. i have had most brands at some time or another and NEVER get over 35k on a set (michelins included). i rotate them every 7500 miles. my oem general tires are about ready to be replaced after only 18k on the odometer, with maybe a couple thousand in life left on them. you guys must be very easy on your rigs. i suppose my problem is my truck's throttle has only 2 positions, released and pushed to the floor. i guess the torque just chews them up too fast. but even on other trucks that i've had, that weren't modded, were lighter, and not 4x4, i never saw more than about 40k out of a set of good tires. on my last superduty, i put the Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires on it. those were by far the most sticky, well performing tire i've ever had. but those only lasted 14k. much like my motorcycle tire, the more performance oriented the tire the shorter lived. i put a rear tire on my motorcycle (fjr1300) every 2500-3000 miles. a lot of guys would say they got 10k on one, but it's all tied to the throttle.

 

I am with ya. I would like to see what these tires look like at 80,000 miles. I just can't imagine getting that many miles. I have a friend that owns a tire shop in PA and we just discussed this exact topic. He said most guys with the diesels that come in get anywhere from 28,000 to 50,000 and that has a lot to do with tire construction and driving habits/conditions. I guess if you hotshot and spend 95% of your time highway driving in a straight line you could get that kind of mileage. I never met anyone yet that had more than 45,000 on a set so I am curious as well. if I get 40-50,000 out of these hankooks, I will be a repeat customer.

 

If it wasn't for my back tires, I'd get a lot of miles on tires. I don't do burn outs, pull heavy, or have it floored every chance I get. It's the limited slip, I think. If it's trying to get the tires to turn the same speed, and tires are not all perfectly the same size, it's gonna cause a drag and wear the tires. And the limited slip is pretty much worthless off road, unless you have even weight and traction on the rear tires. I wish I had the G80 locker.

 

Got 36 k on BG 315's now. Could go another 15K at least but front right ball joints wore out wearing the tire. Lots of cuts from sharp lava, and mainly hiway to work.
Just ordered some 35x12.50 Hankooks last night from online tires....still waiting to see if the free shipping is true. In the middle of the biggsest pond here....

 

i consistently get way more miles out of my bf goodrich ta/ko's than the advertised 50,000 miles rating that they have. only tires i run on my trucks. never had one problem with them.

 

I got 65k out of my stock tires, but like someone said above, most of that was highway miles with the cruise set. I have the Hankook ATM RF-10's on my dually now with a little over 11k on them. They will last just as long as my stockers.

They have performed well in rain, snow and ice, so I am pleased at this point. They are a quiet tire as well. IMO they have performed as well as the Nitto Terra's and BFG At's that I have run in he past, for a lot less money.

 

I'm with mastercaster. The most milage I ever got out of a set of tires on a 4x4 truck was 45,000 on BFG A/T's. And that was on a 3800 lb Toyota. Must be the crappy California roads.

 

It's easy. I used to work with a guy who"ran them 'till they pops" Maypop brand is what he used to call them.

 

i think your right. a lot of guys must run them down to where they look like racing slicks. at 80,000 miles, there would be no tires left on my truck. it'd be sitting on the rims!!

 

It's your story...

 

I just put a set of Hankook ATM RF-10's on my truck this morning for $883 mounted and balanced, out the door from a local service joint around here. 75 miles and they are holding up great. They do seem a little squirrely, but I'm used to the BFG slicks I replaced.

 

$883.....ahhh to only have four tires. that's the one down to have a dually! i'll be looking at between $1200-$1500 depending on which tires i go with.

 

I hear you about 6 tires...not to mention I am also debating going with 235's or upping to 265's....decisions, decisions. I am still a little concerned about them bing made in China as all the big tire recalls have been for tires made in China. If it was Korea or elsewhere I wouldn't be as concerned. I wish there were more people who had higher mileage on these tires to comment whether or not they were good or if they were only initially good. So far the reviews are good but no one has yet to chime in with higher mileage....
