    I have the factory Goodyear Kevlar tires I had 2 flats in 10,000 miles and another about 10,000 miles later. I just replaced them due to wear almost to the wear bars it was at 70,000 miles mostly freeway driving at 35 PSI. went to Machalin LTX

    In over 20 years of driving, the only blowout I've ever had was a stock tire on my 2019....found a piece of metal something in the road and gashed the corner of the tread. Luckily I already had new wheels/tires on order and they showed up a few days later.

    I've go just over 30,000 on my '18 TRD Sport Firestones Destinations, no flats and still quite a bit of thread. Still pretty too. ;)

    My OEM tires are the Goodyear Adventurer Kevlar. They are M+S which makes them legal for winter driving in B.C. Regardless of the rating, the tread looks to be more suitable for highway than gravel roads. If I drove a lot on gravel, I would air then down a bit to give more flex when rolling over sharp rocks.
