At 47K I have zero complaints. The GOODYEAR DURATRACS took everything I threw at them. All wore even and like iron! Getting iffy in rain so it's time. Same is going back on. Went local with a shop I can walk too. Should have them on by the end of the week.
 
They have always been a solid tire. Good choice.
 
Over the years I ended up gravitating to Cooper Discoverer A/T for all my pick up trucks. They have the aggressive look I like, low road noise and they wear really well. I believe the next set that goes on will be the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro and if they hold up well, I’ll be putting them on my ‘95 Cherokee XJ.

I just feel like with certain brands, you’re paying more just for the name on the sidewall and can get comparable tires cheaper.
 
I got 100K out of my Goodyear wranglers & thats the second set I got that mileage with

Holy smokes thats unheard of around here. Living in the pothole state has never allowed me to reach any numbers like that.

We have 3 vehicles and two of them have had the same rubber for 10 years now...and need replaced due to dry rot. They only get driven but maybe a few thousand miles a year and have lots of life left.

Ive been a fan of the nitto terra grapplers, and will continue to run them. Have the good year eagle ls-2 on summer wheels on my truck currently and the seem like good tire too.

For some reason I always get great mileage out of my tires, got about 90 K out of a couple of sets of BFG's All Terrain T/A's also.
I am anal about correct air pressure and rotation, I rotate every time I change the oil.
 
I am also a big advocate of tire rotation. Current tires all wore even. I also have it done every oil change. With the price of tires, makes sense to take care of them! BTW this is going to be a major purchase. Is what it is. The only thing between you and the road is a good set of tires!
 
Interesting thoughts...ive always done every 6000 miles(every other oil change)

Awesome! I couldn't stand the Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires that came on my Ram 1500. Replaced them with the Toyo Open Country AT3 and what a huge difference they made. The tire shop I use doesn't charge for rotations, so I can rotate them as often as I would like.

I'm loving them too. Well worth the money spent.
 
The Toyo Open Country AT3 would have been my second choice. A little less money but not by much. Kind of looking forward to the install. We all know how different a vehicle rides with new rubber on. Ought to feel like new. LOL.
 
Installed this morning. Got a big $75 mail in rebate. LOL. Looking forward to the drive to work.
