[QUOTE="Allen, post: 387895, member: 389"] You are absolutely correct in that tires are a significant cost of 3/4 ton ownership, and those 10-ply tires are a shitty ride with 70-80 psi. I put the Sumitomo on my 2009 F250 at 125k. I now have 157k and am planning on replacing them next fall at probably around 170k. Thus far they have been far superior in treadwear than the Hankooks I had to replace around 40k, twice. The other tires I've had on this truck were the original Continentals that had to go at something under 40k. Do you have a heavy foot with a heck of a lot of gravel miles? Driving fast on gravel seems to really add to the wear, IMHE. I'm guessing about 20-25% of my truck's miles are gravel. I've thought about trying a couple of the brands you mentioned, but these Sumitomos have been a great purchase at around 75-80% of the cost of KOs, Destinations, and probably the Nittos. [/QUOTE]
