Tire life question...

Just curious as to what kind of mileage most of you are getting off the stock tires. My oldest son informed me that his 2000 F-150 with a 4.2 and 5 speed just turned a 100k miles yesterday and he's still on the original BF Goodrich tires! In fact, the tread wear indicators are yet to start showing he tells me.

He said that he was going to buy the same tire if he can get them when the time comes.

Most I ever got was about 50k on a set of tires once. How about you?

All depends on how long the tires have to cure, what roads are driven on, and tire compound. I've seen 50K, 15K, 25K, etc.

I've heard on brand people getting 70K out of where I only got 25k.

I have had to just change my stock ones at 72,000 miles, I have to admit I was impressed by the longevity but disappointed with the actual tire.

I just changed mine at 95500 and they were the same as origonal. Wrangler ats I think. Don't know if they were or not. Easy driving can make them last a long time. Lots of variables in tire wear. I never got more than 50000 on any vehicle.
