Lot-o-tire lol. They did have a rebate on them at the time and BFG sent me back $60 I seem to recall.

I mean, it might be 32K or so, but suffice to say that I bought them 2 years ago; and at that time had roughly 70-75K on my truck. I now have 103K (just turned over this morning) and upon having a flat fixed last week, was told I had 4/32nds on 2 of them and 3/32nds on the other 2.

Sad thing is that Bridgestones used to be pretty dang good tires. Not so much now.

Most of my 110 mile daily commute is at highway speeds (70mph). They still grip really well in the rain, and I'm currently waiting on the snow to start falling again to see if they still have enough bite on them for one more winter. I'll snag a pic of how hurry look later today.
Yeah, I've done a ton of research on the Falken Wildpeaks and have come away impressed. I've yet to run across ANY site or person raising any issues about them.

The local tire shop has them for $732 installed for 6-plys (including road hazard), which is less than I paid for the Bridgestones. I'm just waiting till Oct/Nov or so now to eke the last few 1000 or so miles out of the Bridgestones, and then I'll pull the trigger on them.

Edited to add: I had to go back and reread. 80K on them?! Holy crap. If I get anywhere near the 55K warranty on them I'll be tickled pink AND a diehard customer. That's amazing.
