I had a couple sets of Michelin’s on my 98 RAM make 120k, 100 with BFG’s. Those were when I was working commuting 100 miles a day.

Must have been commuting to Fantasy Island LOL. I bet you were getting getting 75mpg too?

Ha, I drive like too much of a jackwagon to get good miles out of tires. Keep the right air and rotation on them and after that, it is what it is.
Life's too short to not do burnouts!!

I find 100K claims laughable.......especially so on a 4X4.
I am lazy when it comes to rotation since I don't drive the 2015 much, and would like to run a lower pressure when not towing, but the **** TPMS drives me nuts when I do. I am seeing center wear on the rears.
One thing I do not do is run them down to the 2-32 minimum I can get away with per PA's yearly state inspection requirements. I know when it's time by feel on a wet road.


Cummmins12 claims 100K from Michelin's and BFG's....,that's not been my experience with either. BFG's would last way longer than the Michelin's I have had, but would cup excessively and get noisy.
I walked out back from the office yesterday and looked at an F350 we have at work, that has Michelin LTX AT2's, and @ 30K they are down to about 3/16" tread. I would not buy a Goodyear if they were the last tire on earth.

Perhaps the best tires I have ever had was back in the mid 90's when Hoosier Racing Tire made street tires for a few years. Those **** things would wear like iron, but would sing like all get out after a few thousand miles. I believe they stopped making on road tire around 2000.
