I had a 2001 dodge a few year back and had Michelins on it. If I recall I got 92,000 km on one set.

 

[magnet]

yrs doesn't mean much, if you drive like i do thats 300-400k km. what type of km did you put on each set?

 

[Summitric]

Curious what kind of tires you've had on the truck........... Are they oversize or anything other than stock?

 

[sledderdoc]

Also if I was burning through rubber real quick I would be double checking air pressure and alignment etc. ...... and stop doing brake stands.

What sort of use are we talking about? My tires only last a year, or 50,000 km. I do tow heavy though. Not over what the tires are rated for.

Are you buying C, D or load range E tires?

 

[jeffso]

regular stock tires load e i pull my 5th wheel and i get about 30 to 40 thousand k thats it

depends how big your fifth wheel is, that might be about all your going to get. i have 100k on my 09 f150 and half way through my third set of tires, had the factory ones goodyear something or other car tires got 45km, went to cepeks, load range E got another 45k or so and now got nitto all terrains seem to be going ok so far. gotta stay out of the throttle i think they say it helps a bit. i dunno if i believe that or not though never tried it but cannot see the benifit of that idea

I have pro comp extreme, truck pulls 5th wheel about 15k a yr, pulls sled trailer 15 k and i average 80k km a year, with a lot of gravel. i average about 85-90 k per set of tires. I do rotate every 20k

tires look good, and are a fair tire for all conditions,

 

[snochuk]

I use BFG All Terrain T/A 10ply rating and get 80-85K per set, 50% of the time the truck is towing and rotate every 15K. If you are looking to get 100k per set while towing with a deisel....good luck in your seach and if you find such a tire tell the rest of us.
Any tire that lasts 75-85K when towing with a deisel is acceptable, most 10ply E rating tires should get you there. Just don't expect a lot of traction in the winter with these hard tires at 60-80PSI. If you are getting less check the variables like pressure, alignment and ratation time and the biggest one is driving habits.

I had some cooper discovery STT's on my duramax for 95000kms with some towing and lots of gravel. They where surprisingly good in the winter too.

 

[Oilboy]

procomp xtreme A/T's they seem to last forever lol well around 100-150k there nice and quiet, but there no good in the winter,

 

[campingnut]

On my SRW F-350 I have Bridgestone M-729 285-70-19.5 and they seem to be lasting forever :d Do they count.

I don't have a diesel, and doubt I ever will, but talking to some friends in the states, who run their Dually Dodge 4x4 Diesel loaded with a gooseneck and a backhoe or bails or steel, they put 10 lug adapters and run 22" heavy Highway truck (same as an international). they were replacing the fronts 2x as often as the rears due to the diesel weight, and now they wear even and last 3x longer. I don't remember the miles but we are talking a lot. the first set he ran fronts (steering and no traction), but now he runs rear tires on all corners.
I think those diesel trucks are too heavy for regular truck tires.

Try the Hankook RF-10 ATM. I have a set on both of my trucks and they are by far the best tire i have had. They are an all season that are well siped for awesome traction in the snow. I run them in the mud and hiway and love them. I have a set of 285-70/17 on my lifted dually and a set of 325-60/20's on my Duramax 2500HD. Both work great and look good too.

I second these.

I've had mine on since February and they're the best performing all-terrain tire I've had on ice (ran 200 miles of skating rink type ice / slush and crap one sled trip this winter). Good highway manners too. I've had everything from Goodyear, BF Goodrich, Firestone, Bridgestone and these are the first tires I legitimately said I'd buy again.
