Realize the OP isn't looking for AT's but, just to add to the forum's overall tire experience discussion..
Back when I had my POS (Frontier NISMO), OEM tires (BFG Trail Terrains) were shot at 35K. Think I finally pulled them off right before 40K. Just couldn't chance it anymore. Ran them longer than I ever would have on my wife's car. They were toast. I typically get high mileage out of tires. So when I don't it pisses me off.
I then went to BFG AT's. Loved them! Easily got 65K+ out of those.
Next set I went with GY Wrangler Duratracs. Loved them even more. Especially in the snow. When I finally traded in the POS on the ST, the Duratracs had about 75K+ on them and had plenty of life left. Even got a few more dollars on the trade due to "good tires." If that trade in specialist only knew.
I'd have to dig up my old POS maintenance sheet for the exact miles but my memory based guesstimates are close.
When the day comes and I need new tires I'll be looking at the Duratracs very closely. And of course the BFG's. Or depending on how the Generals do I may well go right back with the same.
And yes, for those of you doing the math, the POS had just over 183K miles (in about 7 1/2 years) on it when I unloaded it. But it cost me a lot of headache and a lot of $$$$ to get it to that point. Obviously I was driving a lot of highway miles at that time of my life. So folks here probably won't get those miles out of a set. But the BFG and GY's performed wonderfully.
