Well my personal experience is that on my Toyota pickups and Chevy suv's they have consistantly been done at 25k miles. Any yes all rotated correctly. I just traded in a Tundra with a costco set of michelins on it. The dealer dinged me $400 because the tires needed replacing with just a tad over 25k miles on them. I knew it and split the cost of new tires with them. I would say over the years I have had about six sets of michelins on these rigs with similar results. So I am done. There are so many better choices for truck and heavy suv rigs. I am not talking about the crossover rigs. I do not consider them an suv. This is my experience of which I have had first hand.
Thanks for the reply. I will say my experience is the exact opposite. Great handling, ride, miles, awesome overall service (LT, LTX, AT, etc).

| I have also had great service with Michelin truck tires. I rotate mine every 6K to 8K miles and check the tread depth for any problems that may show up. I got 118K miles on the first set. I am on my second set and none of them needed weights. I have never experienced that in all my 60 years of driving. The tread seems to be wider and picks up gravel a lot easier.

| I love General tires and have a great experience with both the Grabber (truck) and Gmax (car) tires. My new truck has Falken Wildpeaks and they performed well in a hell of a blizzard while driving across the top of the country. |
