Truck Tires - I Want Good Ones
I have a Ford F-350 dually and am going through front tires at a ridiculous rate. I have less that 40k miles on the truck and am almost through the second pair. This last pair, same brand, won't make...

We can discuss truck tires from now till eternity, and they'll be as many differing opinions as there are tire options available. Do Michelins last 20K miles or 100K miles? Will Toyo AT tires outperform Transforce AT tires?
Truth is that each tire will wear differently based on the actual conditions being used. Do you drive in hot conditions or cold conditions? Do you maintain proper pressure on all tires? Having one front tire out of spec will affect the other tire. Is alignment always maintained? How about rotation? Do you drive fast or slow? Do you tow heavy or light or rarely?
There are just too many factors that determine actual tire wear. That's why I was getting 70K miles out of my Dueler Revo AT's on the 1/2 ton gasser, but will only get around 50K miles on my 1 ton SRW PSD. I drive/drove both vehicles differently (and used them for specifically different purposes) so I shouldn't expect them to wear the same.
