    Has anyone had these tires long term who can shed a light on how good the tread life on these tires are. Im looking to get 35 in tires and have nartowed it down to three tires. The wildpeaks, toyo RT, and kenda klever RT. I do a lot of highway driving with some service road type driving every once in a while. By far i like the looks on the toyos the best, ive herard the kendas perform exallent in wet and snow. Ive heard both toyo and kenda get excellent longevity (around 70k). With the falkens ive heard they perform well but when it comes to longevity it seems to be a mixed bag. Can anyone share their experience? Also pictures of ur tires are welcomed.

    They have a 55k tread warranty. To get the most out of any tire you should be rotating the tires every 5k miles. Doing regular rotations, you should get 50-60k miles out of them unless you are doing heavy offroad or doing burnouts. Of course you also need to keep up on correct air pressure and ensure the front end is aligned and suspension components are in good order.

    With keeping the truck in serviceable condition, I have almost always obtained the miles listed for the tread warranty. The exception to that was a set of crappy bridgestone tires years ago. Running wildpeaks now, but only had them a few thousand miles. But they are wearing even and well.

    I had them for 40K.
    Rotation every 5K good tire pressure
    They got so loud after 35K
    Very good performance just loud as hell and heavy.
    They end up in garbage.
    Replaced with Toyo ATIII, so far so good

    Might want to look at the Yokohama GO15, I will be getting them mounted soon in 285/75 18. Seems like a really good tire.

    How do you like the toyo at IIIs? My local shop only has nittos. I thought about getting those but the tread life just isnt there like the toyos and kendas

    Maybe you get what you pay for. I never had any of the three. Ran a whole bunch of Michelin and Hercules plus a few BFG. Never had more than a few common problems with any of them.

    That's awesome, I'd say you have a really good suspension.

    I do have one set on my Wife’s GX 265/67 R18 P rated and second set on mine tundra are 295/70 R18 E rated.
    I like them a lot so far. Very good snow and wet traction. Low noise.
    Will see how long they gonna last.

    I just replaced 35 Nitto trail grappler MT with 37 Falken wildpeak at3w. It’s much quieter and smooth. I love them. I also short list Kenda klever rt but they don’t come in 37s.

    Around 25k. I had still lots of tread but I replace them due to dry rot cracks

    Yeah i heard some people having that issue. Not to say its common but enough to warrant them to not be a consideration. Shame because those were the tires my local shop had in stock since February.
