    Pretty close. Enough to buy new ones. I will say I didn't rotate at all during that time, but they all got ate up. I should have gotten more miles then that. They were made in Korea, we also used to own a Kia minivan that was made in Korea, and it was junk too. I've come to the decision that anything made in Korea is junk haha. You could get the tires I have at your local Walmart for about the same price as the kumho's, and they're a lot more aggressive. The tires I have should come in your size

    Dang I've never heard of tires wearing down that quick especially since our trucks are so light.

    That's really not a bad price for those tires. How do you think that they will do for miles wise? They seem like they would do decent.

    On a side note not every think Amazon says will fit our truck even though it's guaranteed. Now I have to deal with an exhance for the right size cable.

    Smoky burnouts don't help :devil:. My back right tire was just about completely bald. But the others were just as worn

    I've got 5k almost on mine, and I can't complain. Everybody I've seen that runs them says they're good for 50k plus miles

    What did you order? Amazon usually takes care of you if the description was wrong. Hey, isn't it past your bedtime Wyatt lol?

    So you just got them pretty much. I think any tire should go at least 50k on our trucks my last set went 75k. I'm hoping for at least 55k for my at3s

    Goodyear wrangler authories. Mine are 31s, I wish I had 16" rims so I could have gone bigger. These are basically the walmart version of the duratracs, the only real difference is these are non-studable, where the duratracs are. They are both severe snow rated though. And these are a lot cheaper. There's a thread here called the rangers review I believe. He's got a lot of miles on these tires I you wanna check it out

    I think I might be able to save it. I let it dry overnight and I'm gonna sand it down at the high spots and try to paint in layers

    The problem with over a 15in rim is the price of tires are more expensive even for a similar 31in tire. You can go bigger on a 15 you just might not be able to in that tire.
