stock BFG's on 03?

Has anyone ran the course on these yet? If so, how many miles did you get out of them? Just wanting to get an idea. I have over 20,000 on mine, have had 50 - 55 PSI and they look like they will not make another 20,000...maybe 10k more :-.

Thanks for any comments or info.

John

A buddy of mine has them on his '03 QC 4x4 with the SO/auto. Has about 35k on the BFGs and appears that the tires might go another 10k or so.

I've got about 21K on mine but I've got the 3500 QC SB SRW and I run about 60 in the front and 50 in the rear. Of course I make sure I rotate them every 7500 miles so they are wearing well and look as if they will last another 20k or so.
I won't keep them on that long because of the rain and the crappy roads they won't keep traction that long :

Re:stock BFG's on 03?

thanks for the comments men. I rotate every 5,000. 55 front 50 rear. I am actually trying to get some money (my money)from the wife for 285/70 goodyear MTR's. It's not happening ...now trying to figure out how long I will have to wait!

I could power brake it, but I cannot bring myself to beat on the truck like that...haven't practiced speed shifting either...don't want to break anything. oh well...so I wait.

Thanks again,

John

First half of tread wear usually gives 1/3 of total mileage.
