Idk. I dont like kelly safaris. My dad has them on his F-150 and replaced 2 within 8 months of having them. And he only has a 10 minute commute everyday. He probably drives a total of 200 miles a week if he actually goes somewhere. I just think theyre cheap tires.

Ok...just wanted to point those out because the Firestone's have been one of the best tires I have ever owned, as far as all around use and longevity. Been on my wife's Jeep for 4 years and are still at or above 50%.

I bought the truck with 127,000...had it for about a year before getting these tires. It now has 184,000 miles on it.

I have owned the truck for 5 years....so....maybe 40-45k?

I did get my wife new tires again, but these are still rolling on my 98.

Morning Yawl,

The light would be on at the end of the tunnel if the Government didn't cut the money off.

I got 2 finals this week, today and Friday then it is the down hill slide to get the hell outta here and back on the east coast. The 12th can't get here quick enuff.

x2 my destination m/ts were amazing in both the offroad, treadwear, and wet/snow road traction departments.

These MTZs are better though...
