Just cant kill the stock tires

Ive been wanting to put new rubbers on my truck since I bought it in july . I just dont like removing tires that are still legal and in fair shape . When I bought the truck me and the dealer figured they had about 3K left in them . That was 10K ago and they still look the same as the day I bought the truck. I figured in oct they would need replacing after a trip to Cajun country , nope . So far the stock BFGs have 43,000 miles on them and look to have at lest a few more thousand on them even with a few I guess I should be happy but I was hoping to have new shoes for winter weather.

If you do a nice burnout then rotate the tires and do it again. Then your tires will be toast. Plus you have fun doing it. Just take a video and post it to youtube so we all can watch.
