    image.jpg I've got about 33,000 on the stock dunlops. I was checking out the tires and noticed some dry rot (?) possibly occurring on the outside tread. Is it about time to start shopping for new tires?

    You should have replaced your Dunlop tires 32,999 miles ago.

    Do you rotate them every 5k miles? Might just be the lighting but the outer tread depth looks way worse than the inner. That and/or you need an alignment bad

    My Dunlops looked like that after about 26,000 mi. I couldn't wait to get them off of my truck.

    None, stock
    Getting rid of the stock tires made a world of difference. prior to the new tires my traction would kick in all the time (up here in Maine with snow/ice/sand covered roads). The new tires feel like they're covered in super glue. No traction control going off all the time and grip is unreal.

    If you even suspect that there might by dry rot on the sidewalls, replace them. The last thing you want is a blowout.

    That's not dry rot, but definitely replace those terrible Dungflops. What's the DOT date stamp say?

    What brand of replacement tires did you get? I'm in Vermont with similar road conditions, and have 30K on my Dunflops.

    Those tires do look oddly worn so check those obvious factors.

    I recommend Firestone Destination A/Ts for a tire if you don't really off road. They are a great road A/T that has light off road use and are pretty quiet.
