    Look into Yokohama tires. If I remember right they are just under $400 each without a discount at loves and Speedco. I run the steers and I should see 200k pretty easy based on their current condition and mileage on them.

    That’s what I’m thinking. It was my first set of drives that I’ve put on since buying the truck so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

    What kind of mileage are you seeing out of the premium tire brands?

    I am only on the second set of tires since I became o/o. The first set of Aeolus served me well for 250k, could have gotten more, but decided to get new tires before the winter.
    So it seems like cheapo tires last 250-300k and premium last some more.
    Couple of my friends had Bridgestones go to 400k

    When I bought my truck 5 and a half years ago it had Auroroa drives on it. They were legal but pretty well used up. The previous (original) owner put them on new and was very happy with them. I swapped them out with Yokohamas shortly afterwards so all I can tell you about the Auroras is they wore evenly.
