What kind of miles/life are you seeing with this tire? (What is the CPM?).

I read a review on FourWheeler that made them sound nice (best of their kind), but the warranty is only 50k miles.

Versus a true highway tire the warranty above is half the life expectancy and a permanent 1.5-2.0/mpg penalty to the annual average.

In other words, that 10% off pavement is genuinely expensive. Where tire life is one-half (50k: $1,000) and fuel burn for those miles is penalized, it’s another $1,500 on top; or $2500.

At 370k I would be purchasing the third set of replacement tires with the way I use my similar truck. At 50k per set, it would be the seventh set.

Just in tires the spread is up to $4000.

Seems like a dedicated set of off-pavement is worth consideration. A set of takeoffs every so often.
