    I rotate tires every time I change oil, 5K.
    10 ply E rated tire.... I'd say 50 to 60K

    Going on 46k from a set of Michelin At2 and they still have plenty of tread. Ford F-150. Tire’s rotated every 5k. Pressure checked 1x per week. Minimal road noise for an AT, even wear, etc. Unless they are free I doubt I never get anything other than a Michelin again. I’ve tried others and always come back to Michelin even with the higher price.

    My rep talked me into a set of Ridge Grapplers. I put a set on my 06 Silverado and I’m actually impressed as far as noise. Haven’t had them in the mud yet but the ride home from the beach impressed me as far as noise.

    If Michelin made a tire that looked as aggressive as the BFGs or Ridge Grapplers or ST Maxxs, thats all I would buy as well.

    Toyo at2 is the best tire I’ve ever had. Wasn’t crazy about the look however. Atturo sucks, cooper lasted less miles than the atturos. Just had a set of falken wild peaks put on yesterday and I’m really digging them. Too soon to tell how they will hold up though

    Just noticed the natty can in the street. If they can do that to a natty can I’d imagine they are gonna hold up pretty well

    If you had gone with a Michelin LTX M/S2 from the start you would still be on your first set...

    Due to my extremely high risk of getting nails in my tires I am finding it harder and harder to buy expensive tires

    20k put on this 1st set of falken wild peaks and i'll probably put them on again....even with a wide/heavy tire, they stay as quiet as you could expect....esp with a rotate and alignment every 5k

    I just put these on about 2 months ago. Grew up in the tire business and was a cooper/Michelin guy forever. Really like the Falkens. Good price, good ride for this type of tire and they look good.

    My dads last set were the ATPs, he like them but put a set of Toyos on it the next go around. Said he felt like he had more T with the Toyos.

    Call Baxley's Tire in Scranton, SC. Not sure where you live, but you won't find a better price on tires. Cash is king with them.
