Just went 71K on factory Michelins
At 71K these factory Michelins were by far the longest lasting tire I've ever had on any truck. I am confident they would have gone 90k if I would have pushed them. There was still good tread but they did not grip as well on wet roads.
I replaced them with 10 ply 285 Toyo ATs as I needed a good all terrain. Great tires also.

I had 75k on my factory Goodyears and could have pushed them well past 80k but the law-dogs at the weigh stations are always looking for a reason to pull a truck in and give an inspection...I used to haul commercially with my truck. Rather than risk a fine for worn tires I opted to replace them. I've also had very good luck with the Firestone Transforce AT's and now am running the Hankook ATM's with no trouble at all so far. I tell ya....rotating my tires every weekend for 2 yrs got old but with the miles I got out of my tires it was well worth it.
Backwoods, I bet all that lead foot on the go pedal might be a contributing factor! 
The factory Michelins were replaced on mine about 18k and I have 71k on it now and plenty of tread left.

I get tired of things too quick. 70 k out of a set of tires would drive me to boredom.
I have 40k on my BFG's and I am looking for a good excuse to get rid of them. It doesn' help that I made the mistake of trying out "D" rated tires. What a mistake, don't do that
. I have to admit I havent been nice to these BFG's and they just keep going. Thankfully no D.W. just a lot of sway and bounce due to the soft sidewalls. Going to end up getting rid of them with 25% tread left most likely. Don't mean to Hijack but anyone running those New General Grabber AT's?

120k on factory Michelins. At present wear rate could make it to 250k on the second set of tires. Brakes similar. Not all highway by any means, but it is 2WD waaay down south.
Only on a CTD.

Very similar to me. I had 91,000 miles on my Rugged trails with tread plenty of tread left when I got a good deal and put BFG AT/KO's on my truck.
Great highway tires if you live down south.
I got only 25,000 miles out of mine and I did not tow much and I rotated every 10,000 miles . Then I changed them out for Toyos not too long ago about 3000 miles ago and I am switching them out wheels and tires when my " 11 " gets here i a couple of weeks . I told the dealer in order to make this deal happen "WE" will be switching out tires and wheels when the new gets here . I told him the Michelins that are coming on the new truck are JUNK and I don`t want them !! I will never ever own a set of Michelins again !! The only I can say good about them " ON DRY PAVEMENT ONLY " they stick like glue other than that they are JUNK!!!!!
