Then put on a set of BFG Rugged Trail's from a buddy's new F350. Lasted 40k. My new Transforce tires have almost 30k and have 1/2 tread remaining. I love the way they wear. No cupping on any of the Firestones. Good luck in your search.
I am glad to hear that the Transforce is wearing well for you. I have them on my pick up and so far so good, but I don't put a lot of miles on that one. On the Excursion I have the Bridgestone Revo 2 tires. They are great in the snow but not quite sure where I will end up on the wear, maybe 50-60K. My mileage dropped 2 mpg when I got these tires. I had the Steeltex from the recall. That was 1 excellent tire. Good mpg and I got 77K out of them and I did not rotate them as much as I am doing my Revos.

Glad to hear the Transforce tires are doing well for you. I have them on my pickup and I don't put a lot of miles on it so I hope I get a lot out of them. On my Excursion, I put Bridgestone Revo 2's on. They are an OK tire, I am expecting to get 50-60K on them. My biggest complaint (other than cost) is a drop in mpg by 2 on the highway. I had the Steeltex tires from the recall before that and they wore like iron. I got 77K out of them and did not rotate them as much as I am doing the Revo's.
