Honestly initially I was shocked. I bought the truck used with 35K miles the 1st set of MS/2's already on it.
After the 1st set lasted for 80K I wanted to confirm that the original tires did in fact last 80K, and that I did not start out with tires that were not the OEM originals.
The 2nd set also lasted 80K which sort of confirmed that the 1st set were truly OEM originals.
By the time I got the 3rd set I had become a diehard Michelin guy.
Before my experience with my last 2007 Duramax dually truck I would have never considered Michelin's I was always too frugal:W
But I have to admit the Michelin have proven to be worth the extra cost at least in my case they were. Prior to this truck I had never had a set of tires last more than 50K.
My last truck was my first dually and I often wonder if having a bigger truck contributed to the tire longevity:h. vs. wearing out the tires prematurely with a maxed out SRW truck:S
