I've been doin' some tire research (M/T and A/T) for my 2008 GMC Sierra Crew Cab (OEM 20's) and I'm looking for info on tire mileage in particular. I couldn't find a comprehensive thread on the subject, so I figured I'd start one here. So, feel free to leave your info based on these parameters:

1) Vehicle (Year, Make, Model, Etc.)
2) Leveling Kit or Lift Kit Size / Brand / Trimming?
3) Tire (Brand and Model)
4) Tire Size
5) Mileage

I'll start with my last set:

1) 2001 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 Ext. Cab
2) No level or lift / No trimming
3) Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO
4) 285/75/16
5) 55,000 miles

Thanks in advance to any and all participants. I think this could a great resource for folks that are lookin' for tire related info. Also, the parameters I listed were off the top of my head. So, feel free to add to them if need be.

hopefully people chime in, this would be great

Most people on here change tires like I change my underwear (every couple months), so they don't know what mileage they can get out of tires.

theres also a lot of other factors that will affect tire wear and mileage

 

[bnelson]

Well... Even if people don't see the end of the road with a set, a listing of what they've gotten or an (honest) estimate of what they think they could have gotten would suffice as well... Thanks for the responses...

25K before I sold it and they looked like they could have gone another 25K no problem.

They wheeled great in mud and rocks, too. I know because I broke everything on that truck wheeling, tree through the trans, snapped 2 front brake lines, front and rear pinions, paint scratched to hell from tight Jeep trails in Colorado, jumped it a bunch, too. I drove it like it was a Military H1 and I was invading the Rocky Mountains. Good tires, I'd buy them again in a heart beat.

 

[theholycow]

1) 2002 GMC Sierra ecsb 4x4
2) Stock
3) Mainly 3 different brands/models.
4) 245-75-16
5) Usually 50,000.

It came stock with Goodyear Wrangler ST, IIRC. They were P-series and I ran them around their maximum 45psi. I got at least 45,000 out of those and replaced them before they were down to the wear bars. Then I put on some tires that were rotting on another truck in the yard. They were LT-series, load range E; I ran them at 70-80psi. Got more than 50,000 from them, and again didn't run them down to the wear bars (winter was approaching). I ran some miscellaneous used tires for probably 25,000, and then got some Nexen brand, model might be Roadhandler, LT-series. Ran those at 70-80psi, it's at least 50,000 miles later, and they're pretty worn. These are the first tires that have ever had measurable center wear from my high-pressure inflation tactics, but it's not extreme. When the edges get down to the wear bars the center won't be bald.

Sometimes I take curves fast, and I like to kick out the rear on sandy turns.

1. 2005 ECSB Silverado 1/2 ton 4x4
2. 6" procomp and 3" body lift
3. 35" BFGoodrich Mud Terrains (KMs)
4. I drive like a pissed off teenager and these tires still have tread at 37k miles. There's enough tread to take me into the low 40s and there's no doubt in my mind I could have gotten 50 out of them had I driven slowly and not spun the tires.
