What kind of mileage can I expect out of them I have 10k approx on them, they look pretty good so far.

Would Getting a wider rim such as a M/T classic II 8" help tire wear significantly?

Is the heavy bowing on the sidewalls really bad for tire life?

Best tire PSI for max life/milage

Thanks!

I've ran these on various trucks and rims for years now. the best mileage I have got out of a set was on a 1996 3/4ton 4x4, over 80,000 Miles before I sold the truck and I would have guessed that the tires would have had about 25-30% tread left on em. They were on the stock steel rim and 35lbs pressure, would bump up to 50lb when towing heavy loads.
