...wonderful OE tires that are worn out in less then 30K...
You've mentioned that a couple of times, so I guess you've had very bad luck with OEM tires. That has not been my experience at all. In fact, as often as not, I replace the original tires with the exact same tire, and I've done that for cars as well as trucks.
I might expect that if the truck/car I bought had the base trim level tires, which often are the smallest rated tire the designers anticipated. I never buy that version of a vehicle, so maybe that's why my tires do better??? :@
Both sets were firestone that lasted less then 30K. This last set were the Firestone Transforce, and have read where many have experienced the same results, not uncommon. Truck is far from the base trim , Ram 3500 Megacab Laramie.
I tow a 13K fifth wheel around 30 percent of the miles. Rotated every 5K , replaced them at 28K, present tire is the Toyo AT2 , looks like they will go around 45K. Next I will give the Sailun Terramax a shot .
