Truck tires
I've emailed tirerack.com concerning a suitable replacement but so far no reply.

Keeping you on the road in the worst of conditions.

Piece of mind.


Same here. I got 117K miles on my last set and they still had tread left but they had aged.

I don't know how you guys do this, I really don't.

I've had Michelins exclusively for years and years. I love the tires for three of the four reasons listed, but I'm lucky if I get 30K miles out of a set. I just plan on buying a new set every other year and they are nearly bald when I do swap them out.

I do tend to drive a little aggressively, on shitty roads, in four seasons, but there's not a chance in hell that even if I didn't do those things I'd get even half of 117K miles out of a set of tires. Not a chance.

My Michelin's on my pickup cost me over 1 MPG


You must have had a smaller diameter tire to cost you 1 MPG. I have kept the gas mileage for all of my vehicles for 52 years and have never noticed any change in mileage when correcting for tire size.
