What tires do you have? My BFG Long Trails lasted 30K and they were done for.

I'm in the same boat, I can't wait until my tires wear out so I can step up to bigger tires and maybe new wheels

Sorry, but there is no answer for your question. I could take the same tire one guy ruined in 25,000 and get 65,000 out of it. Truck condition, driving habits, road conditions, etc, etc, etc, all play into it.

I got rid of a set of BFG Mud T/A's at 45,000 with tread left that people swore you'd never get 30,000 out of them.

The only stock tires I ever left on was my first set of GY Wrangler AT/S's on my '97. Got somewhere north of 50,000 out of them...and hated every last mile.

I have the original Pirelli Scorpion ATRs on my 2007 Screw and just passed 65,000 miles on them (keep in mind that they are now ready to be replaced)!

X2. Mine needed to be replaced right at 30k. Been running my current BFG's for 31k and there's still plenty of tread left.

Also keep in mind that almost all of the OEM F-150 tires are low-end, price-point tires. A lot of times this can equal a hard rubber compound that wears like iron, but gets poor traction the entire time.

Like Galaxy said, theres no way to answer the question. There are just to many variables.
I actually liked the General Ameritracs I had on my "04'. They were on the truck when I bought it used with 30k+ on it. I put another 40K on them and the tires were nearing the very end of their safe and useful life when I traded for my "06". They took everything I threw at them and never let me down.
