My truck will need new tires in about another 10,000 miles. I have been reading reviews online for the last few days, looking for the best tire I can get for the lowest price.
I currently have Firestone Destination LE's on my truck, 235/75R15's and they have 40,000 miles on them and are very loud and nearly worn down past their useable and safe amount of tread. They are rated as a 60,000 mile tire for the warranty. I talked to a guy at a local independent tire store, he said Destination LE's don't usually last much longer than 45,000 miles.
I was just wondering here, what is everyone else's real-world experience? Has anyone been able to get 60,000 miles from a 60,000 mile rated tire? Or has everyone else bought a set of good name brand reputable tires and had them to wear out after only 40,000 miles?
I had a set of Michelin LTX M/S before the Firestones. I am most likely going to just bite the bullet and get another set of Michelins, or I may try the Yokohama Geolandar H/T. I am now just trying to find out which one of those would give the best MPG. I took a 3 to 4 MPG hit when I bought these Firestones.
I appreciate any info here.
