Tire question

I have a 2017 Tundra Crewcab Platinum 4x4. About 40k miles back I bought a set of Michelin Defenders that are snow rated and they were advertised as a 80k mile tire. Now they are advertised as a 70k mile tire. I am barely at 40k on them, they are properly rotated and pressurized, rebalanced all within spec and they are ready to be replaced due to tread loss. I don't off road. Any suggestions for a all weather, all season snow rated tire that would do well for highway and city driving that will actually last?

 

Tires and tread life estimates have got to be the biggest scam. Doesn’t seem to matter which brand or style tire I buy. Their tread life just sucks!! This goes for all brands. I swear in the last 15 plus years, tire compounds have gotten softer and softer. I still have records for my old 1991 Toyota pickup. That truck had over 248,000 miles on it and only went thru three sets of tires. The originals and then two sets of BF Goodrich long trail TA’s. I have documents to prove that those tires went over 100,000 miles. The second set went over 118,000 miles. I’m currently running a Toyo tire and by the looks of things, they’ll be done in 35,000 miles.

 

I get 65k to 70k out of a set of BFG KO2s and that includes some nasty rocky ranch roads along with towing a 5000 boat. There are better street tires out there but I have always run an AT or MT.

 

Agreed. I even work for a tier 2 tire company (not a tire dealer) and can attest that mile warranties are more estimates than "warranties" or promises.
