Time for new tires already?

Apparently the OEM Goodyear wranglers on my F350 are not the best tires. A little over 30k miles and they are worn out already. For some reason I recall getting 50-60k miles on tires on my previous F150. Are larger trucks that much harder on tires or are these just cheap?

Any suggestions on a decent new tire that won't break the bank? 275/70/18 E rated for hauling the FW.

I've seen guys on CL selling pretty new take-offs. I wouldn't mind going with a little taller tire and rim if the price were right but seems like most guys aren't selling E rated ones. What's with all the low profile tires on trucks. Doesn't that render your truck pretty useless?

I bought my truck with 20" BFG AT KO2s and they only lasted about 25K was mentingd before diesl 1 tons are harder on front tires and when you tow a large 5th and try drive like your empty it is just as hard on the rear tires, but 25K was rediculous. I am on my 3rd set of salun terramax AT and the previous two sets both hit 90000km or about 55K miles and they offer road hazzard and are all season (winter mountian snowflake) rated so I don't need to change over. 90% of the trusk use is towing the big 5th or hauling the camper so its pretty hard on tires.
