Forgot to tell you do it when you need a oil change because you have to change your oil after treatment.

I have never seen tread as deep as these on any other on-road truck tire. When new, the tread depth was a bit deeper than a quarter is tall.
The fuel economy of these tires is also not great.
I have been very happy with the tires' traction. Went through all last winter and never had any significant traction issues.
I might manage to get close to 250k miles from these tires, but also might need to replace them with some usable tread remaining at the beginning of next winter, as I am not going to run through winter with marginal drive tires.Brettj3876 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
You rotate the drives...?

I note the wear, on mine. Rotate them accordingly. Only once. Usually the RR set is worn the most. LF set the least. Ideally those get swapped. Others, depends on wear. Might wait, just depends on wear. My Truck has directional wheels. I don’t care for them. It’s cosmetic, but doesn’t look right if crossed. Puts a damper on getting the most from Drives. Unless they’re broke down, and changed, that costs more $$. I have to keep them on same sides.

I just go back axle to front but keep them on the same side when rotating drives.....
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
I do an X to change the direction they rotate.
mslashbar and Farmerbob1 Thank this. -
Isn't x the recommended pattern?
Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -
I personally like mine turning the same direction as they started life with. That’s just me. I think more about the belts then the tread. Just how I’ve always done it.
