Default Pirelli tire replacement

I am about to turn over 30,000 miles on my 09 screw, and wondering how many miles you folks are getting out of your 20 " Pirelli tires. Mine look like I can get another 5 to 10K out of them. If you have replaced your tires, what brand did you go with ?

I swapped mine when I got new rims and a lift kit. They had 75k miles on them and could have taken maybe another 1k but I'd be afraid to do it lol

Edit: I'm an 06 though not 09

I don't like the Pirelli tires. However I only have 12k miles on them. I would like to go with Bridgestone Dueler Revo or Michelin next time around. They just don't come in the size I'd like. I had the Revo's on my 2000 F-250 and loved them.

there is no Fing way you got 75K on a set of Pirellis, they are a softer street tire. Ive heard more around the 30-36K range is the norm depending on your driving style and rotation schedule.

I replaced my Pirelli's at 45k with the Michelin LTX AT2, went one size bigger than stock with the 275/60/20, they have more sidewall with no issues of rubbing. Been a major improvement.

Picked up the truck from the dealer @50k miles they had no tread on them and dealer said according to original owner these were the tires that came on it and rotated every 3k. Drove them to 75 when I got my lift kit. Uncle of mine bought a truck identical to mine brand spanking new off show room floor in 06 and got 60k out of his but he didnt push it as bad as I did.
