Your speedo will be off and i dont.think you can correct it like the 06 n newer.



50k doubtful? Really? According to my calculations, I have 40k on my guard dogs now and have maybe another 5-8k left in them. That's assuming you wear them down to the wear bars. I also do a 5 tire rotation, check alignment every year during inspection (its free) and I tend to slack a bit on the rotations so I would say 50k is more than possible with proper tire care.

Subtract 20% since you are doing 5 tires not four...you are at 32k equivalent plus your 5-8-20% is another. 4-6400. So under 40k for a set....

Tires that wear out faster are better, then you're motivated to go bigger next time.

You also cram your truck into trees... I would suslect "use" has something to do with it.

I've got more than 10k on mine with very little wear.
