Flat on one tire, belt separated...7 years & about 27k miles
Flat this year on 2nd front tire - belt gave way, 9 years about 33k miles
Decided to replace the last 2 original tires at 35k miles & 9 years

I have 94,000 summer kms on my Pirelli's. Terrible winter tires. I use Firestones Winterforce on different rims for the winter.FYI. I should get another 30,000 kms on the crap Pirelli's next season.

Probably around 35k, had the SR-A's for about 18 months. Have had Toyo Open Country II's for about a year, will probably replace them next year before winter but will see how the tread is at that time.
I'd rather spend the money on new tires than slide all over all winter. My office is open regardless of the weather so 20 miles each way every day.

Rocking the at/s goodyears on my xlt. I rotated at 10000 miles and have 10/32 and just over 12/32. I'm hard on tires but i think I will get some decent life from these. My trucks lives at its gvwr.... and I get on it hard so it is what it is.
The rear Pirellis on the FX4 are nearing bald at 11000 miles. .. lol. I find them for so cheap I don't care... just burn them off l.

9 years is way too long to run tires, regardless of miles on them. The consensus is that 6 years is the life of a tire. Belt separation should not have happened on either tire.

Just like the 3k oil change that were pushed its something I am not going to do
If the tires appear dry rotted or problems occur I replace them, just like I have done for the past 30+ years
Also aware that I drive less then 3800 miles a year
6 miles to work on back roads
I don't off-road except boat ramps & my own driveway
Tires still had a decent amount of tread left on the last 2 =kept them as spares just in case

Michelin LTX A/T2
My 2011 5.0 SCREW 4x4 came with a set of Michelin LTX A/T2's on it.
265/70 17. Currently at 52K. Dont know what the mileage claim on them was in 2011, now they rate them for 60,000. Could possibly make that with mine.
