That is really bad tire mileage on that truck. Might be worthing looking at a different brand. Michelins will give you 60,000 miles. Just think, you'd be out shopping today for your 3rd set.
My truck came with OEM Goodyear Wranglers with a five rib tread design, common on summer tires. At about 40,000 miles they would breakout on wet roads and really bad on steep wet grades. I replaced them with Generals with a similar tread pattern. Same thing happened with them at 40,000 miles. My current set is Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade series with a much more aggressive tread pattern. I thought they would produce much more noise than the first two sets but have not noticed any differences. So far they have proven to be much more durable than the first two sets and are still holding their traction on wet roads when towing. One of the original seven did have a major defect but Goodyear gave me a new one for it.
