    I know there is a thread about this somewhere but the search is so cluttered with crap I can't find it. Mine are wearing incredibly well while aired up to upper 30's psi.

    What have others experienced?

    Here are mine a touch over 30K miles

    The stock dunlops are crap, I put them on my Ranger because my Revo's wore out after 65000 miles and I needed something to hold up the truck. The Ranger is a little lighter but I haven't been friendly to them at all, if they get 30k-40k out of them I'll be happy.

    Remember most OEM tires are designed to be quiet, help the EPA mileage numbers, and not cost a whole lot. The Dunlops do that at the expense of traction, ride quality, and tread life.

    Ya the traction with these tires is not the greatest but they are wearing very very well

    only lasted 4000 miles.
    wanted the goodyear duratracs before winter, plus they make the truck look so much better.
    sold them to my wifes co-worked who desperitly needed tires for her ford suv for 75.00 for all 4 tires. considered it my good deed for the day.

    Cant speak too much about the dunlops. However, my neighbor has a DC TRD sport long bed. It has the original Bridgestone dueler HT's on there. He's pushing 67k miles and its not even pushing the wear marker yet. I don't know how he did it, but they are lasting him a long time.

    I put them on CL. Couldn't get anyone to take them for $50. Maybe I'll plant a tree in the backyard and use them for swings in about 50 years.

    Holy Crap? . My Duellers have 20K miles on them and they're about 1/4" tread left. I wanna have an excuse to buy something else....hopefully they'll suck this winter and I can get rid of them next year.

    Just replaced mine at 52k. All of my previous (9) Toyotas original tires only lasted 30k or so. This one suprised me.

    I didn't leave mine on long enough to lose any tread. I hated them. No traction at all in wet weather. Replaced them with Michelin's and am very happy with them.
