[QUOTE="rockyroad74, post: 4179158, member: 53339"]$5400 sounds far fetched for 8 Michelin drive tires. You can by 24.5 H rated low pros for around $470 each on national account.

If you can not get any tire to last on your truck, it's past time to look at bearings and shocks or alignment problems. It doesn't matter how old the truck model is. The quality of your components and staying up to date with proper maintenace is what is key. Drive tires will last over 300000 miles. I got 400000 out of my last set of drives.
