    My 2012 Tacoma just got it's 3rd set of tires this week. The first set were from the factory the Dunlops did well I managed to put 55k on them with good even wear,
    Second set was a total let down
    I bought a set of good year integrity. They made it 2 years and whopping 33k before getting dry rotted and needing replacement, wear was even but tread life was heavily lacking.

    I bought a brand new set of ecopias from costco... The truck feels new again! Improved handling faster stopping and less sway. I know they are new and suppose to feel better, but the difference is far more noticeable then any other set of tires i bought
    So far I have 275 miles on them and they have really impressed me.
    Costco had them for about 98 a piece plus 70 off and installation for a penny sale. Came put under 375 new.

    30-50K on a set of tires? I'm looking for 80-100k out of a set of all-season radials

    :anonymous: I don't think I've put over 35k on a set yet. I short trip a lot with a lot of starting and stopping and frequent turns while accelerating. My tires cup on the outside (noticeably, not excessively) from turning and wear pretty quickly. Oddly, my rear tires wear faster than my front tires. My alignment is good, my truck is in good mechanical shape, I just operate my truck in a manner that is hard on tires.
