i like the idea of getting more than 40k miles out of my tires that i paid a lot of dough for, first of all. i have run nothing but bf goodrich all terrain k'o's on my last 2 trucks and got 50k miles out of them. my '02 silverado has the les schwab 265/70/17 sxt mud terrain's on it currently and have 43k miles on them and still have 6mm tread depth remaining. i like these tires a lot as well, but i just priced out replacements...$1200.00 :yike: that would be for 285's, gonna go 1 size bigger.
rotate your tires every 6k miles and you should get much better than 40k miles out of a quality set of tires. mud terrain tires are typically softer rubber and don't last as long.

I got some maxxis bighorns. They arent so quiet but dont sopund like baja claws either. I dont think they will last 40k miles though cause that would eb alto on those big mt tires.

I got about 50 K out of them, but I took them off early as I like traction. I probably could have milked a few. I log alot of miles as you know on the hi-way and the woods. They were good for both...a good compromise. I was turned onto them when I logged a bit. All of the loggers liked them on their trucks. Its important to rotate them or they wll cup on you. Best traction I have ever had in a tire. I have had them regular....I have had them siped.....and I have had hem studded. The 10 ply is a must if you spend much time in the woods or haul wood.

DeKuma:
Isn't the 10-ply pretty harsh for ride though?

boneaddict:
I haven't really noticed. I have them now as well. I'd rather be a little stiff than changing tires.
