How many miles om a new set of tires?
Not here to debate tire brands, just wanted to ask the group a question about tire wear. For you people who put lots of time on the roads, with a 1 ton truck pulling the Montana, could you estimate or give me a good guess how many miles you typically put on a new set of tires before you need to replace them.
Sorry I am talking about the truck tires!
Thanks!

Bob,
Truck or rig? Not sure what you are looking for but typically get 60,000 on Michelin on truck and replace tires on rig every 3-4 years with likely less than 35,000 miles.

My Michelin 20 inch tires I never get over 30 thousand until they are wore to a point the traction is gone and should be replaced. They aren’t down to the wear bar but close.

I've never attempted to track the amount of miles I get on any of my previous TT's or even my current Montana. But I do know, the average is 5 years. They usually dry rot and start cracking before tire tread wears down.
We travel a lot, and every time I've changed tires was because of side wall cracking after 5 or 6 years.

SRW or DRW singles wear out faster due to load. I'd suspect most aren't going to get over 40K on a SRW.

I got 45,000 on the original Michelin's that came with my F350. I now have GoodYear Wrangler AT's with Kevlar. Got about 45,000 on them so far and they are wearing really well. At this rate, I estimate I'll get over 60,000.

The OE Continentals got so heat cycle hard that they lasted about 40K when even a camp road was slick driving. This repeats what a previous truck encountered The replacement Firestones went 35K and were sot. Next were Michelins and were Ford's optional next size that would still be on the truck except one went almost bald at about 45K for some unknown reason while the other three had 9-10/32nds. I now have Generals and hope they last as well as 3/4s of the Michelins. All sets of tires were rotated on a regular oil change basis

Since you are asking about the truck tires I see about 40K miles average on a set of tires..
I tow at 62 mph and had been running Toyo AT series tires ..very good tires that I have run for decades but the mileage was not what I felt it should be with my driving style..
I have switched to Cooper HT series tires and after 3 years of use the tires are wearing much better.. I find the traction is as good as the AT series tires and the ride is less noisy with this tread pattern
I run the rear tires at 80 and front at 65 when towing and when not towing I lower rear to 55 for better wear and ride...
I also have no issues in the snow and ice with the HT series tires as compared to the AT tread series.

Run my front tires at 80 and the duals at 65 and get around 60,000.

Unless you drive a LOT, the tires on both the truck and RV will age out before they wear out. I have about 60,000Km on the truck and the tread depth is still 11/32. Since the truck is a 2017 I plan on changing tires fall 2022. I will do the RV at the same time even though it has LOTS of tread.

I drive a 2017 F350 4x4 DRW 17 in wheels and tire. I got 43k out of the first set of factory Michelin’s. I expect to get between 45-50k miles per set.
2020 Montana 3931 FB with G rated 14 ply tires and will change them in 4 years.

Michelins get about 60k miles on a SRW F350.

For the trailer, it's 5 YEARS no matter how many miles. The truck gets about the same as everyone else.
