I searched but couldn't find anything. I am just wondering how well these are lasting? I want to get these for duck hunting and just general winter mud this year, but I am going to run them year around. Hoping they get at least 40k?

I had 285 75 R16 Terra Grapplers (load range D) for approximately 30k. They were not worn out when I replaced them with the Duratracs that I have now.

My impressions were that they were a great all around tire, very good in snow. They rode stiffer than my duratracs even though the duratracs are load range E. Brand new, the duratracs are quieter than the worn terra grapplers, but I guess thats to be expected. My duratracs are louder now with 17k on them than they were new.

I had them mounted on 8" wide wheels, and they wore extremely evenly. I usually ran them around 45-55 PSI.

Mostly commuting miles with about 10% of the miles on dirt roads. Just a couple trips (1500 miles or so) towing a small camp trailer. No complaints.

He was talking about Terra Grapplers though, not Trail Grapplers. I have a set of Terra Grapplers in a 285, 10 ply on my stock PYO's and they have almost 60k on them and very worn. I was extremely happy with the mileage i got out of them. I will most likely get them again to replace my set before winter because they are awesome in the snow and ice.

Treadwear warranty on an LT rated all-terrain tire? Surely you jest - hahaha! :funnypost

I have approx 13 to 15k on mine so far and they're wearing really good. I expect to get 40k out of them as long as I can keep the front end aligned and I rotate them every 5k.

i might have 25,000 on mine and don't expect to get much more... you have to keep them rotated or the will ware bad/uneven. But i also haul some heavy loads

This may not be a lot of help.....But, in all of the reviews I read, several from the mid-size trucks, FJ's, Jeeps, I only saw a couple complaints about tread life. Several seemed to be in at least the mid-30K range and higher. One guy said at 12,000 miles he still had 75% tread left.

I would really like a 1st hand opinion from a 2500HD operator though.

I'm looking at the 285/65/18 Trail Grapplers. I am about 70% on road, 30% off road/camping trails/etc. If someone does comment, how are they in snow, mud and rain? How about towing heavy trailers?

I haven't had any problems in sticky mississippi river mud and I towed a 15k 5th wheel camper 700 miles without any problems. If anyone wants, pm me and I can send pictures of the tread wear so far.

I installed a set of 285/65/18's on my son in law's 03 and at 20k they are over 50%. Very stiff sidewall tire, pia to mount on rims with fake bolts on outside.
