Almost time for new tires, what are you planning on getting after the stock tires wear out?

[N87]

I have GY Territory on mine. Had a chance to use them in fresh snow today. I didn't expect them to be that good. Even on packed snow at -10 c, the grip was as good as ATs on my ICE half ton truck. Had them for 3k miles. Will see how long they last.

I am thinking that I will switch from the General Tire to the Good Year tire when the time comes. At this point, I think I am getting close to halfway through the tires - with 12,700 miles on the truck.

I'm at 22k with the Generals and they are wearing great.

I am at 47k miles on my Generals and they are working fine. I have driven from MD to FLA twice, MD to GA once and MD to Denver once. All good trips.

Just turned 50k on mine. 2 measure 7/32 and 2 measure 6/32. I'll probably put another 5 to 10k miles on them before replacing them.

Trip home was 1,200 miles. Didn't notice any reduction in range. These are great tires and I highly recommend them. Right at $1,095 installed at Costco (MT has no sales tax). That includes 5 year road hazard warranty, lifetime rotations and balancing and nitrogen. There was an $80 instant coupon and I'm not sure how long that promotion is for.

How many miles and/or tread depth did you have when the Generals failed?

17k miles and plenty of tread depth. I didn't measure them. The cords in the tires clearly failed. I suspect it was from carrying a load of flooring up a slightly rough road. We now have 10k miles on the Defenders and they are wonderful. If you don't need all terrain I can't recommend the Defenders or Costco version enough. I have not noticed any reduced range.

I have had one get a huge (irreparable) puncture on the 2 miles of 3/4 minus graveled road I live off of, but otherwise okay at 26k and 5/32 tread depth. The front end is a bit sketchy in heavy rain at highway speeds now, and can't see getting through winter with them, so thinking of replacing them. Hopefully Costco has the Michelin coupon soon.

Are you still finding the Michelin range is similar to the Generals?

My factory original Hankook (‘23 Lightning) have been a joke.
18,955 miles and they are toast.

Have you tried NOT pounding what appears to be a giant wooden stake into the tread?

FWIW I have almost 20k on my Goodyear Wranglers that came on my '23 and they've still got plenty of life left. I wonder why there's so much variance in which tires game on the truck.

LOL - yeah, this week the wind in the Santa Cruz mountains had a ton of tree debris on the road and that chunk was ridiculously big and effectively killed that tire.
Can’t believe I won’t get 20k miles out of a set of properly rotated tires (from new).

I think I'm going to gamble a bit and try these out.
Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent

Says they are low rolling resistance and a decent price. I don't plan on doing crazy off roading/heavy hauling. I just wanted something a tad more rugged than standard highway tires and hopefully not too bad a hit on efficiency.

Tires going on now. Posting this for record. All commuting to work and city trip errands over the past two months. I have a road trip this weekend to El Paso, then I'll reset to start tracking efficiency.

Edit: Couple pics from the garage. I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow.

Hi - Interested in further pics and feedback on the dueler's i'm looking at them via Costco to replace my general grabbers. Currently at 24k miles and approaching 3-4 32nds tread depth.

I have been researching tires that would make good "all arounders", realizing that is not really a thing, especially for icy conditions. The tire to be replaced is an Arroyo Eco Pro H/T which has worn half of its tread depth (currently about 5/32 from 11/32) in 17,000 miles (they were cheap, but have actually done acceptably in a wide range of conditions, including snow and light off-roading). I would like to experience better tread wear than the Arroyos and stock tires (which were worn after 25,000 miles) while hanging on to similar efficiency (2.3 mi/kWh lifetime in mixed driving).

Anyway, the research has lead me to either the Bridgestone Dueler AT in the SL load range (which is 7 lbs lighter per tire than the E) or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 (honorable mention to the Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail AT in SL). All of these have excellent reviews from consumers and more professional tire testers (e.g. TireRack). The Bridgestone Dueler has a low rolling resistance claim and is 3-peak rated (which may be as much a marketing device as a performance metric, but snow is a definite factor where I live). I saw that @Zprime29 just installed the Bridgestones and they look great. Any information/opinions on any of these welcomed!

Only a couple hundred miles so far on the dueler ascent, but so far I like them. Better look, just as quiet, and efficiency seems to be very close to stock. Durability is still an unknown.
