I personally got 65k off my last set. But that's with some good ol fashion rubber burning here and there lol :P I'm sure you could get 70k out of them.

Buddy of mine is using the Mastercraft Courser MXT for mudding. Which is also nice but only really for mudding. They kill his gas mileage.

I just ordered a set of these for a great price of $454.74 and that includes tax. Will have them mounted and balanced. I went with 275/65/18's to replace my 265/60/18's.

I put a set of the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza Plus's on mine (275/65/18) about 6k miles ago, and have been very pleased with them for highway use.

My 2016 SCab FX4 came with the Wrangler Adventure w/Kevlar in LT245/70r17 e-rated tires. With the majority of winter behind us, I can say I am very happy with these tires. They seem a little harsh on rough roads, sometimes, but at 55PSI, they are not too bad. Very good on ice and snow.
Would like to hear other impressions of this tire. I see they are not particularly inexpensive to replace.

I ran the old version of those tires for three winters, in 275/70/18. Only difference, no Kevlar, and they were named Silent Armor. I've still got them in the barn on my stock chromeclads. I have zero complaints, very good tire, IMO. If only them came in 315/70/17, it would be a toss up between them and DuraTracs when these KO2s give up. As much as I drive the 150, it may be a few years.

My boss/buddy has the dura trac's on his F350 crew, with 8' bed. Was impressed with my F150 spec'd with a ten ply. They are very similar to his tires, in appearance and in tread. I am no expert, nice to hear positive comments as I plan to wear these out before I replace them.
By the way, that F350crew with an 8' bed is a beautiful 2009, but man,it's a freight train!

If they wear the same as the Armors, they'll last awhile. Mine must have around 35k miles on them, and plenty of tread left. Only reason I'm not using them now is that I finally found the wheels I wanted, and thought I'd try the BFGs, I can only say they're OK. The DuraTracs on my RWD Ranger are much better in the snow. I don't know about on the ice, in truth, the 150 sits most of the time in winter, the Ranger is my daily driver.
