They would be going on my wife's gas guzzling, kidmobile SUV. 85% city driving, 14% highway driving, 1% dirt roads (USFS roads, etc).

I have them on my 2500hd, about 25k on them. So far I am very pleased. My boss ran those on his 1/2 ton, got 70k out of 10 plys, last set he cheaped out and bought lighter duty versions and got 30k. They do make a little noise out on the highway but not horrible IMO.
Woodchuck- by light duty version you mean the 4 ply tires? That's what I was quoted. The Hajj told me that the 10 ply tires are more for heavy loads and come at the expense of smoothness of ride (as well as additional cost). You're saying they get more miles too? :dunno:

Thanks all. More discussion welcome.get at least the 6 plys. The 4 plys don't have nearly as much tread and they are way too soft for my liking.I have them on my 2500hd, about 25k on them.

I work at a ford dealer. Guaranteed lowest tire prices. We'll literally beat anyone.
It's a Ford thing.
That's cool.
Im slowly shifting away from buying the very cheapest I can possibly buy and sticking with locally owned stuff even if its a few bucks more sometime. I get great service from this dude and hes even done some quick, odd stuff for free for me. so I dont have any plans to go online or with _D_ _T_.

You got me there. If you have some tires you need for your pickup I will beat prices you get anywhere else....if you were local. As long as you're comparing apples to apples a Ford dealer will beat anyone else's tire prices if they're on the tire program. Customer needs to provide a written estimate from elsewhere and we will beat the price. It's good at time of purchase and for 30 days after. I even do the shopping for my customers. Usually Discount Tire is the lowest price local to me. They won't give out written estimates so I print them off the web and then beat the prices for my customers. We only have to beat them by a couple bucks a tire. You get free lifetime rotate and balance, flat repair, road hazard warranty, etc all at no additional charge.

Thanks all. More discussion welcome.10 ply is for heavier trucks and will have a stiffer sidewall, they say you lose some ride quality but I couldn't tell a difference on the bosses 1/2 ton. That may be because I have to run 10 ply. :dunno: To answer your question, if alignment and steering/suspension pieces are good you will get more miles with a 10 on a lighter duty rig. :tup:I have them on my 2500hd, about 25k on them.

Radical difference the the "Prestige" crap that was on it when I bought it. So far they have been great. Hopefully they will be a nice inexpensive alternative to BFG AT KOs.
