Original Tire Mileage

[SoTxPollock]

I put some Bridgestone AT Dueler Revo's on to celebrate independence day. My original factory Bridgestones ran 106,127 miles. The fronts had another 5 thousand left on them, but the rears didn't. I knew I should have rotated them at 95,000. I just didn't think it was necessary because surely next week I would be buying new tires, so I thought, so I didn't rotate them then and the rears wore down (heavy right foot). I really don't expect to get that kind of mileage from the new AT's.
It was raining the day I went to get the new tires and I tried accelerating and braking fairly hard, on the old ones, to see and they still had excellent wet traction. Those guys really have their rubber compounds down to a science. After watching the F1 cars run them in all kinds of conditions, I figure they have got to know what they are doing when it comes to tires.

My 2001 2500HD came with Firestone tires, by 17,000 I no longer trusted them.
Firestone offered me 50% off on anew set, however I switched to Michelin's and
they went 50,000 a set. I was towing a 35ft 5th wheel at the time

Mine has about 22,500 miles (36,000 km) mostly highway, about 20% with Camper, on Bridgestones M773 265's, and I can just begin to see a bit of wear on them.

I'd say they are still aound 80-90%, so I'm hoping for close to 100k also. That is actually quite impressive, I think.

My 93 K2500 6.5 TD which was much lighter used to get about 50,000 miles (80,000 km) on Goodyears.
