[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 946901, member: 2567"] The Wyoming Highway department must have a deal with tire manufactures to make sure we buy more tires per capita than elsewhere. They apply crushed sharp rocks to the road surfaces called chip seal. It is supposed to make the pavement last longer, but it eats tires. Since diesel trucks make up the majority of HD trucks these days, they are extremely hard on tires, especially rears. I have found that mileage warranty's aren't worth the paper they are printed on. I sold a friend of mine a set of Mastercraft A/T2 with a 50k warranty and put them on his 2006 Duramax Chevy. At 20k the tires were down to 4/32nds and worthless for traction. Warranty requires that the tires be worn to 2/32nds and must be evenly worn within 1/32nd across the tread to qualify for warranty adjustment. The set of tires he had before the Mastercrafts were Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade and they only made it to 15k. So much for warranty. I have been a tire junky for 25 years and one thing is for certain. The tire may look the same from one batch to another, but you never have a clue as to what happens to the rubber compound. I think some of the tire manufacturers do this on purpose. For example, BF Goodrich All Terrain KO used to be a very long lasting tire. I even tried a set, worst wearing tire I have ever owned, bald at 20k. When a tire is made that I really like, I blink and they change the tread pattern and usually not for the better. Since I am a tire junky (kind of like a bullet junky) I keep track of tires that I sell and use and give honest feed back. [/QUOTE]
