I've never had a factory tire last much more than 30k, Goodyear or Fire/Bridgestone
When I confronted Goodyear on the issue, they point out there's no tread life warranty on factory tires, only ones purchased retail.
Tell me about it...
My wife's Transit Van came with Continental's and they went maybe 30K and were shot (bald). Had the same thing on my Focus and I'm a very conservative driver... 40K bald My engineer at Fords BIL told me that no factory tire lasts a long time, The mount LRR tires for corporate mileage figures and LRR tires don't last.
On to pickup trucks... Diesels will wear tires faster than gassers everytime and pickups, diesel or gas will wear out tires faster when loaded or pulling a trailer than when empty.
IO had the Firestine Transforce tires on my truck, OEM and they didn't last but 45K but it's a diesel so no matter what I mount (have Michelin's now) only go about 45K and it's tire time.
