Tread Milage

MasterMind · 02-29-2008, 07:44 PM

Just wondering what kind of milage are you guys getting out of your tires? And how well do tire companies hold to their "milage" warranty?

I've got 77,000 miles on the stocker Michelins. Gonna go thru the summer and then get new treads in the fall!! I've got quite a bit of tread left on the stockers!!

I bought mine with the BFG Rugged Trails. I got about 30k with them. Thanks to a set of 35" Open Country MT's, I got a set of Micheline LTX's. I have around 50k now and expect around 15-20 more out of them. Shoulda been more, but my ball joints took a dive and it took a while to get in the shop. BFG's had better snow and mud traction, but the Michelins have had me towing a 24 foot, 10k trailer in the snow in the mountains. I believe that the mileage warranties are prorated by mileage. If that's a concern, I would develop a relationship with a good tire shop near you so that they can help you when necessary.
