Yeah, good luck with that. I just turned 53,000 on mine, and they look to be able to make it to 60,000 no problem. I hate those tires, but am about to drop the coin on some 33 Toyo MTs.

I put Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor on my last truck and paid around 900 at Sears. I loved that tire. The only one I liked better was the LTX M/S on my work truck. Those things wear like iron.

If I could get rid of the Pirelli tires on this thing now, I would. Sadly Santa isn't going to bring me new tires.

I swapped my tires out for 20" BFG A/T's when I bought my truck. Can't remember the cost, but they sure are sweet tires and worth the extra coin.

Im sure they are more than worth the extra coin. I would do the same thing in a heartbeat. Problem is money is tight. I can't justify the cost of BFG's when the GY's will get me the same amount of miles out of the set.. I guess I'll wait and see where Im at when these stupid Pirelli's wear out.

About two months ago I pulled the Pirellis off mine and replaced them with one size larger Goodyear Silent Armor. I would do it again in a minute because so far they are the best tire I have ever owned. These tires are expensive (think I paid around $1400 for them) but like I said will do it again in a minute.

Wow, you've had a different experience than me. I bought those for my prevoius 2008 Sport Trac V8 4WD. They were the worse tires I've ever purchased. They would not keep the balance and finally after 5 balances later, they finally swapped out 2 because they were out of round. Even after the swap, they did terrible (IMO) in the snow. I did not have the stability and sure footedness I expected from an A/T tire rated for snow also.

I've had Bridgestone AT REVOs on my previous 2000 Nissan Xterra and loved those. Those were the best but these Michelins seem just as good if not better.

Now I have the Michelin LTX A/T 2 on the new F150 and these things are great. This F150 was really sure footed in the snow with great traction. I Paid about $100 less than you for the Silent Armor at a local shop and got a national warranty on all the tires. The tire size was small though, 245/65-17. I wasn't a bit sorry to trade the truck with these, under 1 year, new tires.

Good heaven. I paid right at a grand for my set of 305/40/22 Nittos(installed with Nitrogen fill) 3-4 months back. (Granted they're street tires) I feel sorry for you all.

Just paid about 1400 for a set of 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs a few days ago. That includes Road Hazard and mount/balance.
