I've had mine for about 25k miles, they're 295/70R18 or 34x11.50. I think they're an awesome all around tire if you spend a decent amount of time off pavement but still need to load down your truck occasionally, a much better deal than running d-rated M/Ts. They're loud enough to hear over the engine, no worse than ProComp Xtreme ATs but not quite like a highway or or AT tire. They wore ok, the first half went away a lot quicker than the second half has. They're starting to crack in the tread and a few of the lugs look like they're starting to separate/get ready to chunk but they haven't yet. I've been mean to them, pulling 10k+ in the summer on Texas asphalt, running them hard on caliche roads and even some rocks. Pump them all the way up to 80psi and they're freaking rocks, that's actually one reason I don't like them is that I've eventually dropped my rears to 40psi each to get them level. There's just no weight back there to push them down empty, I only had a 3400# rear axle weight even with a 250+# of headache rack and stuffed toolbox in my short bed. I've driven in snow, on ice, in the rain, on pavement, in sand, mud, rocks, caliche, wet grass, highway enbankments the works, they've never let me down.

Stock yes, but my truck came with the snow plow package and 6000# front coils. It sits an inch-ish higher than my dad's essentially identical '07 F250 6.0L with 5200# coils.

I have 35x12.5xR20 trail grapplers and they've been great so far. I've put 23k miles on them and they still have 11/32 tread left. I tow 10000 pounds regularly and with the 800 ft/lbs of torque i put to the wheels they hold up pretty good. I used to run kumho mk71 road venture m/ts and they sucked. Only lasted 31k miles

You only have 10k on them and there wearing fast well i hope they last longer then that for me ! I have High Country on now and they sux!! Only have 12k on them and there damn near bald! But there D rated so that might make a difference! I've never owned Nitto before but I got one awesome deal on them! I've had Swampers love them, but weir down fast! Also have had BF and Bridgestone awesome tires but now they want like $300 more for 4 of them! I really wanted the Firestone Destination M/T but they are on serious back order!!
