I got 70,141 out of mine and they could have gone more but I was going on a vacation and didn't want to worry about the tires. I bought 4 OEM tires & rims off ebay from someone on the west coast who wanted bigger tires and rims. They only had about 100 miles on them and with shipping cost me $700. So I took the old ones and put out on the street and sold them for $125 so they only cost me $143.50 each which is about the price of the tire alone.

Im at 62k now but Im getting ready to replace them. Not because of tread issues, but just due to the fact that I want new shoes on the truck before I start the towing season this year.

Im thinking if not for the towing I could easily get another 15 to 20k out of them safely.
Thats why I listed them to be given away if someone wants them and is willing to pay shipping or set up a place fairly close by to me to pick them up.

The would still be perfect for the person that needs tires right now but does not have the money to get them.

Ill most likely get them this weekend or the next.

I have 6500 on mine,(265/17s bridgestones), The rears are at 1/2 tread already. I think I rotate them to much..lol Dont seem like I have spun them that much, but I guess pullin out hards not good on them either.

39,000 and only rotated them once. Just got 4 new 265/75/16 Firestone Transforce AT's put on. They are load range E. 580.00 out the door and they threw in a used tire for a spare. 3 year warranty, free flat repair. Still snow on the ground here and they seem to have pretty good traction. Take care, Craig

Made it to 29k. Then burned em till they were ready to blow:D. They do make decent burnout tires. Besides that, I was getting made fun of for small tires, and getting stuck pulling trailers off road:mad:. Much better tires on there now.

Mine went 30K. I was not super easy on them. I got stuck everytime I saw dirt. I didn't like having to get pulled out by toyota's. New tires and probles solved.

About 500 miles. I traded them for something that was actually worth a crap the first week I owned the truck. The tire shop gave me $65/tire trade in.

45K only rotated them 2 times a few burnouts. The could of last 5K or so yet, but traction sucked. Like above I got suck in wet grass when they where new. When I got rid of them they where so bad I had to use 4WD leaving red lights in the rain while towing. Now I can kick up some nice rooster tails in the mud with my BFG MTs.

43,000 miles, still had some tread but the traction was absolutely gone. Rotated every 6-7k miles. Drove it like a old lady.

50,000 rotated 3 times. had tread left on the inside and outside but the center was about gone and winter was comeing. Hated the stock tires from day one,from getting stuck in wet grass to haveing the back end break free in the winter towing the snowmobile trailer.

0, I wouldn't accept the truck until they put Michelins on it.
It didn't make the dealer very happy because the tires were on back order for 6 wks.

I got 45,000 out of my first set, could've gone longer but I got a flat in one and used that to convince myself to get new (bigger tires). I'm pretty sure they were the best tire in the snow, but nothing else. I guess the slimness of them compared to other tires I have had since really helped in the snow.

150 miles and then put on some 265s cooper discovery stt, always wondered why gm didnt put 265s on 2500hd, the 245s are a joke in my book, but thats JMO, bout to get me some KMC Hoss black/machined, like on Silvercrew's truck, as soon as i can find them, going with 18x9 with some BFG A/T 305/65/18

06' 43,000mi those Duravis suck you could get stuck in a snowcone in the middle of the summer. The 07' had 285's put on it at 300mi, because of previous experience with the 06'. I really like the Bridgestone Duelers

30k on my stock 17's. Seem to be wearing okay and will probably get around 45-50k based on wear. However as others posted...they make pretty good slicks in snow, mud and water.
