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.

My son thinks they have a lot of life left... I'm thinking they will get yanked on the next OCI (9k from now). No place to store a second set of tires/wheels so the dedicated set is a nogo. This is the 2nd set I've taken to 95k mi or more. Others got swapped out for various reasons, wear not being one of them.
