tire mileage

how many miles should get out of your truck tires?
My 97 has 66730 miles on them and it looks like i should be able to make 70 out of them. They are getting down there. Have only rotated them ouce.

I always seem to get less than the advertised mileage on any of my tire brands. I had the worst luck with the firestone firehawks. And this was before the v8 swap and agressive driving with the ranger. So if they would say 60,000 I would get 40,000. I did like the the pepboy's futura's...good mileage for the price.

I get about 70K as well. I'm at 160K on the original brakes [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

I had to buy new ones for the front of my 97 F-250 at 45K.
I had one with a slow leak that caused an odd wear pattern. All's fine now. The backs look like they will go at least 75K. Just turned over 50K this past weekend.

Drivers side waring uneven. Pass looks good rears look like they could go 75 easy. Thanks for the replies guys.

To extend your tires millage,check the air pressure!! Your tires will last longer. Also rotate them. Tyres often are installed and forgotten, untill they start showing the cords or go flat. If you mantain them they will last longer.

I just replaced the tires on my pickup last Saturday. They had about 60k and wear bars were just starting to show.

The tire store, Belle Tires in Canton Twp, used too short of locking lug nuts. They bottomed out on the studs, then they continued to spin the impact gun and spun the studs in the front rotors wearing the holes in the rotors oversize. They didn't tell me there was a problem, just sent me on my way.
When I got home I got my torque wrench out and began checking the torque on all the lug nuts. I found the two front locks would spin, couldn't tighten or back off the nuts.
Went back to the store. They said come back Monday and they would cut them off with a torch. I said no, that will ruin my wheels.
I went home and slid a pipe over the nuts and snapped them off. Then what was left of the studs just fell out the back.
Went back to the store Monday and told them they owed me new rotors and different locking lug nuts.
They didn't argue, they offered to install the new rotors but I said no, I will do it myself (I was going to repack my wheel bearings soon anyway). So, I left there with the new parts.
The guy who mounted the wheels had to know he screwed up and should have said something.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_bs.gif[/img]

Have only rotated them once and i'm allways checking the pressure.

110k easy BF Goodrich on a Toyota 4x4, thay started to dry rot before they were into the wear bars. I know its a baby truck but it doesnt wear out tires!
