I own a 2500 dodge long bed quad cab(I have owned 6 of these trucks and about 30 sets of tires of all brands)
my last 5 sets of tires have been like this, first set was
Michelin LTX (265/70/17 load E's)
got 46,000 mile on them, and were about 50% tread left,, BUT was heading out west in winter time and replaced them due to I knew I was going to be in the back country and a lot of snow and ice and mud even?
Overall, a decent tire, NOT great anywhere but maybe in tread life
they picked up gravel like magnets and threw it all over at high way speeds, cars behind me hated me(kept the tailgaters away LOL)
and lots of stone chips from the stones hitting me?? BUT its a truck, so??
next set was a BF Rugged trail same size load E's
got 28k and they were about worn, maybe had 25% tread left, and they sucked in any wet soil and were not so great in snow
couldn't wait for them to go!
next set was a Firestone destination AT, in a load E, changed size, went to a 285/70/17 load E
DUE to a friends son worked at a shop and could get me these tires for a HUGE discount(almost half price!)
First set I got exactly 23,000 miles, worked OK all over just wore out super FAST
Firestone said, I mist have gotten a back set?
so due to the price again, I got a second set of same tires
got 28k out of these, and was offered a even better price to buy again
NOW again they worked good all over, NOT great, but worked good
SO went with a third set
12 K into these I had a piece of metal take out a side wall while driving off off road
SO< Bought a new tire>
exactly 3 weeks later at a different site, I had another tire go out from a side wall puncture , of a 6 inch nail??
SO< ended up buying another whole tire
NOW have about 38 k on the originals and there at about 40% tread if that, and have the two newer one;'s at about 75%
WILL NOT be buying them again
ON my other Dodges , I ran Cppoer Dicovery AT's and averaged about 40K on a set, and will be going back to them
I drive a ton of roads of all types all yr, from dirt to gravel to hi way, and typically run high ways at 75 mpg
I can rotate tires every 3-5 k, and or NOT, and in the last say 500,000 miles I drove in dodges, I get NO difference in tire wear , by NOT rotating tires
I have front end alignments checked every 5k(get the life time deal on that )
I check air pressure very Often
I run with loads towing trailer and empty
many times running out west, its 30-36+ hrs NON stop driving, minus fuel stops
ONLY tire I ever got more than 50 K out of was a Michelin .
BUT they always seem to cost a bunch more per tire, and , due to getting snow often and mud, I personally feel I'd rather replace tires more often and have good tread come snow season, than try to squeeze more miles out of a tire
one ride into a ditch kills any savings on more miles out of a tire in my book!
For most of my 30+ yrs of driving 3/4-1 ton trucks, I been replacing tires once a yr!(drove 50-60k a yr) some times twice a yr
and tried all the tires out there, Coopers have been my best average tire for good grip all over and wear
My 2 cents here ON tires on a dodge!
