I've got 22,000 on mine. They'll go another 20,000 with my constant load. Nice size for these trucks. I've got the AT's.

My AT's have 20,000 miles bought at Tires 4 less. Good wear so far I try to rotate every 5K miles. Tire wear is pretty subjective but so far I'd put the same tire on when I need new ones (unless there is a marked improvement by going to a different tire.

I must be unlucky with mine. I had horrible wear coming down the ALCAN. I lost half the tread life in less than 5K of pulling on that trip. They have been wearing much better since the drive out of Alaska and I now have 15K on them. Looks like they should hold up for another 10K-15K unless I drive back to Alaska! The last set I owned were not the 285/75 and they lasted 55K.

I have 3K miles on my 285/75 AT's and so far I'm happy w/ them. i just rotated them per the tire shops recommendation so I plan to keep up the 3k rotation and see how long they last.

I have the 285/70-17's on mine. Put them on at 289K and now at 314K 2 of them are gone and the other 2 probably have @5K left on them. Very disappointed in the wear. I have run Michelin LTX's for almost 75K miles and the 1/2 worn out set of OE Bridestone Rugged Trails lasted another 40K when I put the 3rd Gen wheels on. I will not buy them again. I have a 2WD and 95% of the miles are empty commuting 75 miles a day.

I have 31K on mine.I rotate them every 5K and it looks like I will get 55-60k out of them.Very happy with the ride,sound and most of all wet and ice traction.The stock Michelins sucked in the ice like driving on ball bearings.I will do these again.

I wish I could get a set. That's a heck of a good price.

This is a follow up to my earlier post re the 285/75's. The 20k miles I put on these tires was a trip from the Florida Keys to Alaska and a return via California. I'm very happy with the increased traction compared to the stock Michelin rim protectors (that would easily go 70K miles). I have noticed some subtle and strange wear patterns on the front tires even though I rotate them. I have around 35K miles on the truck and I think the shocks are shot causing those patterns, I don't think the stock shocks were ever up to the weight of the stock wheels and tires not to mention a heavier tire/rim setup. On my older '99, although a 2WD, I noticed a world of difference going to Bilsteins from factory shocks and I expect to see the same improvement when I do it to this rig...YMMV.

That's the way mine are. One side of the tire has 3/16" tread and the other side is slick. Mine have been rotated 4 times and due for another.

Not sure why, but my Toyo's have been garbage.
14,000 miles and 30% tread remaining. I figure on squeeking out 20,000 miles on them. Granted, I haven't rotated right at 5,000 (probably more like 7,000), but for a $300+ tire, I sure expect better tread life.
I'm not alone; several buddies in the Phoenix area report low tread life as well, and the Discount Tire ramrod I spoke with lately claims that Toyo isn't very good for tread life. Too bad they didn't mention that to me when I bought the things.
Going back to Michelin and my typical 60,000 mile life after these guys flop out.

I put 50K miles on my Open Country AT's. When I took them off they had about 3/16 left on them. I rotated every 3-5K miles and they wore evenly. I got them from Les Schwab.

I checked Kores website ,, great price on the tires, shipping is the killer,, nearly $300 dollars,, not much different than buying them locally after you add the shipping
