    purchased a truck awhile back, and it had a new set of Triangle drive tires. I was intending to pull these off
    in a couple of months and replace them, so they never got rotated. Got side tracked on other things and forgot to replace them. As of this morning, I now have 347,313 miles on these tires. Tread depth on all four are close to equal. Tires have no cups or uneven wear. I never would have thought these tires would last.

    Tires look good overall, but I’d keep an eye on the inner rear left side. It looks like it’s showing signs of over-inflation, or maybe it’s just the angle the pictures were taken.

    Must be the angle or lighting. Replacing them all Monday, hoping to get a little trade-in money for
    them.

    The trade-in money ain’t worth it. They look good for another 6-12 months.

    The last set of tires that were on this truck I’m currently driving were hankook trailer tires on the drives.

    They were on for many years, even before I worked at our company. I’ve been at our company 6 years now.

    Likely been on the truck at least 8 years or so. Not sure on the kms.

    I’ve never seen them rotated but they all wore down even.

    This was a everyday float truck before I took over and the guy retired.
