I got 40k out of my nittos. If I keep going at my current rate I should get 50k out of these. I got 20k out of my first set, 30k out of the next, and 40k out of the last set. I'm not counting the stock tires as my first set. I only got 6000 out of those (and no I didn't leave off a zero).
These tires are just a hair bit noisier than I originally thought. I was fighting a 30 mph wind all the way home and could barely hear them. Today on the way to school there wasn't any wind and I got to hear them better. They are still very quiet given their tread pattern but they are a tad bit noisier than the nittos were. I've still gotta have the radio turned WAY down before I can hear them and you have to be listening for the right note to hear them. So far I'm very pleased.

For those of you wondering how much weight they had on them for balancing, one tire had 4.25 oz of weight, another had 1.75 oz of weight and two of them didn't have any. I don't know if that's good or bad but the truck seemed to ride smooth. I just put my centramatic balancers on so we'll see how they work.

It's on my to do list. After the DTT, smarty, studs/o-rings, mach 6's, water/meth, twins, cam, and x-over steering. 
Actually, now that I've got the steering pretty much done (DSS, PSC box, DT track bar) I'm actually very happy with my suspension. I can let go of the wheel and the sucker tracks straight and true. Doesn't wander or nothing. Even with the original tie rod ends (98k miles). It's never been aligned since I installed the lift either. If anything all I'll do is a set of coils up front and a set of springs in the rear if even that.
