Michelin MS2 only 35k and done
As the title states we just hit 35k on these 2 year old ms2 and they are at the wear bars. I am honestly shocked and expected a bit closer to their promised 70k. They will prorate them but that means ...

Don't know the answer. I got 52K out of the MS2's on my Tundra and they still had about 10K or so left on them. Weird.
There is a big difference between a 5500 lb Tundra and an 8500 lb crew cab diesel! I got 48,000 out of my OEM Michelin A/T2 tires and could have squeezed another 3-5,000 out of them but I tow heavy and was heading out on a long trip so they got replaced. My wife has a 4Runner with over 82,000 miles on a set of LTX M/S tires and they have about 35% tread left still! The 4Runner has 1/3 the power and about half the weight of the Superduty.
Very true about the weight differential between a Tundra and F350, and I have seen many F350's chew up the same Michelin AT/2 tire within 35-40K miles, while mine look great at 45K...towing or otherwise. But the dreaded sidewall cracking was eating the tires alive before two years. I do not care if they sit out in the heat, as for most of the day I park in covered areas. I have complained to the dealer and have been told "that's normal" for Michelins and to keep an eye on it and see. Well, it's now just over three years and they look like crap, so I guess another run to the dealer at rotation time will tell if they will prorate them....
