Sorry, but I'm running Michelins also. Had Bridgestone that came on the truck stock and only got about 32,000 miles on them. Most of my driving is pulling the 5th wheel. I put the LT265/75R16 LTX M/52 on my 2007 3500 long box chevy. Satisfied so far after about 12,000 miles.

I just went from BF Goodrich all terrain TAs to the Michelins for the same reason. Guess we'll see!

Same problem for me with the BF Goodrich's. Maybe we can hear from our New Mexico tire expert on what he runs on his truck. I for one would like to find something that delivers as promised.

I just replaced 2 of my Michelin's as they had 87,000 miles on them. They still had fair tread on them but were a little weather checked. They were the LXT A/S and would pay the price again when I need to. I think they run about $250 each at Costco around here.

Have run Goodyear tires on the truck up until seven years ago when I switched to Michelins. The Goodyear tires were a good ride (softer tire) but the mileage was terrible (21K). Have been getting 45-50K on the Michelins and only change them out due to sidewall age.

I've got about 80,000 on my Michelin LXT A/S and still going. Probably have to replace next spring. I have significantly improved my tire mileage by installing automatic balancers on my truck. This is the second truck I've used them on and they pay for themselves in longer tire life.

Replaced my OE Michelins when they hit 105,000 miles. Have 75,000+ on present Michelins and look to get another 20,000 miles.
I rotate tires every other oil change, about 15,000 miles. Inflate to 60# front and 75# rear when towing. Lower to 50# front and rear when not towing Monty.
Michelins well worth the cost.

When I was not pulling a lot I could get great mileage out of the tires. Now we are full time and pulling a lot I can only get about 40K out of a set. Hot summer on those rear tires with the weight really wears them.

Guess I'll be the odd one out here. Running Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor (they have Kevlar Belts) put them on at 2600 miles and have approx 33000 on them now and still going strong. They have a more aggresive tread design, all the better to get out of that camping spot on grass if it rained during the night.

Been running Firestone Transforce HT for several years- Have not had a failure to date- I change them out after 4 years so I have no idea how long they might wear if used until worn out- We normally put 15K to 20K on annually- JMHO- Don

Running Good Year Wrangler "Pro Grade". Have 49,000 on them now and they still have another 6 or 8,000 left. I love them. They are great in the snow and on wet roads yet are still very quiet.
