Mileage really isn't my main concern, but tire wear and more importantly tire failure when heavy is what I am trying to avoid. The tires are rated for ~6600 lb. each for duals, and I will achieve all of that, but just occasionally. The majority of my loaded miles will be around 5500 per tire.

Whats your percent of empty miles, and total milage for the year? I will say for the guys that run seasonally your best to by a economy priced tire because they will rot before they get wornout. Its nothing for me to gross 96k on a tandem, tandem and only 90psi.PoleCrusher, cke, Feedman and 5 others Thank this. -
Honestly I get better tire wear and longevity running at max inflations. And I don’t know when my last blow out was. It’s been several years.
