How many miles have you all got from the stock Bridgestone V-Steel E rated 245/75/16 tires? Looking at a pretty good deal on a new set. Curious how they wear.

Ted,

I don't know what kind of driving you will be doing, but if you plan on doing any off road driving at all look at something else. These are by far the worst stock tires I have ever seen, if you get on wet grass they will just sit and spin, and don't even think about mud.

Just looking at lots of highway miles. No off road at all.

They'll go about 45,000 miles depending on conditions.

Hmmm, 45,000 ain't really all that good. I'm getting close to 80,000 on a set of Kelley Safari Commercial rib tires. Not quite to the wear bars. A guy has new V-Steel take offs on painted steel rims, balanced and all. Wants $90 ea plus 6.5% tax. I'm thinking if I can get 60,000 on them, It will beat the price of new Kelleys anyhow.
