I would be a bit curious if I were going through tires that quickly. Have you had it in for a four-wheel alignment? Are all four tires wearing this quickly, or are the fronts wearing quicker? (This may be difficult to determine if you are doing regular tire rotations.)


As for tires & recommendations, if you look at the larger online tire companies, like Tire Rack.com, you can generally see each tires UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade) rating. As this scoring system is a general indication of how far the tire can travel, the higher UTQG scores indicate higher mileage tires.

Between looking at customer reviews, UTQG scores, and selecting the tread style that best suits your driving needs or aesthetic preferences, I do not doubt that you can find a tire that will serve you well.

On a previous truck, I spent countless hours searching & reading reviews. In the end, I ended up changing my mind at the tire shop's counter, and I went with Big O Big Foot S/T tires. They are a street-oriented, high mileage tire. They had a much better warranty coverage than most similar, big-name tires, and they were cheaper. In the end, I could not be happier with my tire choice. They wore very well, were quite, and had good all season traction.

 

Coskid I put 265's on the F150 I think the tacoma has 225 15's they rub a little on the tacoma when I turn real sharp. But the tacoma never hauls anything but trash cans and my fat but to work either.

 

I havent heard of anything positive with the Generals that ford put on alot of the 04 and 05's but, ive got 30,000 miles on my Generals and the treads wearing evenly and about 50% left so i cant complain about them. And im not good about rotating either. Ive never had a set of Michelins and heard its a softer tire, id like to put them on when the time comes to compliment fords already smooth ride.

 

Michelin LTX M/S..........best tire on earth in my opinion. Sadly...they are backordered in the 275/55/20 size right now........


On a side note.....anyone else wanna use the michelin email us link and ask when that size will be available???? I'm hoping persistent constant requests from alot of people on that size will convince michelin to start making them like yesterday.....instead of sometime in the future..

 

I put BFG Long Trail T/A tires on my truck a year and a half ago and have been very pleased with them. They ride well and the tread is holding up a lot better than the two sets of Continentals I had on there before. I was only able to get 38,000 miles on the first set that came with the truck new. I got about 36,000 miles on the second set. I am sitting at 21,000 miles on the BFG tires now and the tread wear is no where near that it was at this point on the Continentals.

 

go with Goodyear Eagle GT II's, 66,000 mi. so far, rotate every 6000 mi. and not quite down to the wear bars yet. make sure the tires u purchase are manufactured in the year u buy them.

 

I don't think they are substandard...they are gooey, and quieter than the ones you'll buy at your local tire shop.
