If any of you have kept your stock tires long enough to wear them out how many miles did you get out of them.
Also list what tires came with your truck.

Goodyear Wilderness HT 235/70R16

50,000 km (30,000 miles) and they are gone. I need to replace them before the snow starts to fly up here in Canada. I am thinking of Bridgestone Dueler A/T 245/75R16. Any thoughts.

 

I have 39000 on mine. Got to get new ones next month. Still havent decide on what type of Wheel I'll get.

------------------
98 F-150 SC XLT 4.6, Westin nerf bars, deflector shield II, Vent Visors, 55" chest box, Kenwood stereo, more in the near future

 

Please post futher replies in aftermarket wheels and tires.
Sorry for the confusion.

Well so far I have gotten 1,473 miles out of my stock tires they are the Goodyear Wrangler AP 255/70 16 the only complaint I have so far is they spin on take off in the rain or on wet pavement.

2000 F150 XLT Reg. cab

A friend of mine has 1997 f-150 with the stock General tries replaced his at 52,000. Don't know if thats good milage on these tires or not?

 

I traded my '97 5.4 XLT 4x2 SC at 42K miles, and the tires were less than half worn -- and no rounded edges. I always run tires at the max allowed pressure on sidewall, and usually get 60-80K on tires.

 

Hey Guys~
I only have 21,000 on my 275/60R17's, and probably will have to replace them in the next 3-4 months.

265/70R-17 Goodyear Wranglers with 35,500 miles, 30% highway, 70% city. Running most of the time with 35psi in front and 32 in the rear. Still in use and not decided yet what's next.

------------------
98 4x4 Lariat SC 5.4L in oxford white two tone. Only modifications, K&N Filtercharger and Stepshield door still protectors. Many more to come.

 

I have 52,000 on my 98 F150 SC 4.6 ORP with the 265/70/17 tires. I have never rotated them, i don't believe in rotating tires, I really don't see the point in rotating because what am i going to get out of it? another 1,000 miles?? I believe anything past 50,000 for a truck tire is VERY good. that is my belief

 

I have Firestone Wilderness HT 235/70R/16 w/30,000mi. I need to replace them NOW! When it snows, I slide all over the place even with LS diff. I think Boss Blue meant Firestone as well.

------------------
97 F150 XLT SuperCab 4.6L 2WD, 3.55 L.S., CD changer, Airaid FIPK, White w/red and blue custom pen striping.

 

I have Goodyear 255/70/16 with 55000 miles on and still good tread left.

 

I got about 55k on my 235 General rags on my 97. The key is rotation every 5k with the oil change. I now have 255x70 Hoosiers and will put on Rancho RS5000 shocks this w/e.

 

P265/70/17 Good Year Wrangler RT/S, factory tires at 47,000 miles - maybe 3-4000 left. I run 33 psi on street and 45 psi off road. My next set will be the GY AT/S at $109 each. I want a better tire for off road and an "LT" type for flat resistance in rocky conditions.
