Towing, the factory rears on our 2011 lasted about 30,000miles, fronts were about 50%.

Do the tires have the correct air pressure in them for towing? Does she have the tires rotated at the proper interval?
I am not sure what the air pressure is required for towing on a dually since I have a SRW truck. Tires are to be rotated ever 5,000 to 6,000 miles. This will insure even wear on all tires and will provide the longest wear out of the tires.

My 2011 3500 SRW has 7500ml and the rear tires are at around 60% left front like new. The truck is only used for towing but I must admit though that the LS does seem a little tight.

Tell her to go easy on the skinny pedal, she's probably roasting them pulling away from every traffic light and stop sign.

My dually is at 18k and mine are about 50%. I think I'll replace at 30k. or there abouts. First time with a dually - driving a dually and pulling with a dually is all good - replacing the tires, not so fun.

Bad tires would be my guess. I get worse wear on my fronts than I do my backs. Your Aunt's truck is not a flat bed is it. Just wondering if it could be rubbing or if she is pulling heavy down lots of gravel. The gravel eats my tires for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

What kind of tires? Cheap ones will not last long.

the low 1-2 gear will destroy soft rubber tires, i ate up a set of michelin at2s on the rear, switched to a harder rubber tire and no problems.

kelly mud tires

jhenson

I would say that's the problem right there. Mud tires have softer rubber and the mud lugs are definitely not meant for doing any heavy hauling or city driving.

Yep, that's your problem. Mud tires do not belong on a dually that spends it's life on the road loaded.

Next time you are shopping for tires check these out, I lined them up side by side with some of the top tires and they looked better. The price is also better and so is the tread life, also good siping and tread depth. The local phone company here is running them on their truck fleet. We put a set on one of the trucks yesterday after having trouble in 4X4 with the snow and ice the last few days, on the way out of town my son called to say how awesome they were and he was running in 2WD.
