Round #3 for 19.5 tires. Where have all the KM's gone?

Present truck had 22,500 kms when I bought it in 2006, put a 4000lb + hard side with slide TC and after a really rough trip to the Baja, decided to go with 19.5's. Picked up the present TC 5 years ago...

It is all in how much you are planning to drive.
Michelin and Hancock are good value if you plan to put 150,000 km in next 6 years. Tires protected from UV can last up to 10 years, but that is not what I would plan on it.
I had 19.5 on my F450 and at one point bought cheap Sailung (?). They lasted me for 56,000 miles. Ride quality is not existent in heavy truck, so can't tell if that was different.
