I just did not want the same Firestones that really should have been replaced at 25k miles (I stretched to 30k).
I must live a charmed life.
I got about 30k on the coopers that had about 1/2 tread life left when I bought the truck and have 15k on the new off brand tires and the tread is barely broken in (that includes about 8k towing).
Usually get 40-60k out of a set of tires and I usually buy the off brands and never had an issue with them.
Ha. Charmed indeed ;-) Most reviews of the stock Firestones seem like 25-30k average. Hopping for better with these Coopers. Curious, what PSI do you set on your truck? Do you inflate and deflate when not towing? I read mixed reviews about max PSI. You get the best MPG but I have read recently it cuts tire life. I have always left mine between 75-80PSI so maybe I will start playing with PSI and lower when not towing.
