People are always concerned about tread life when purchasing tires... I just did my 2nd oil change/tire rotation since putting my ATZs on; which means these tires have 10,000 on the clock.

 

I'm very impressed with their wear so far and thought it'd be a good idea to throw up some pictures

 

and measurements. I'll update the thread with each 5,000 mile interval

 

Starting tread depth = 20/32 (.625")

10,000 mile tread depth = 18/32

 

 

So it looks like my first 10,000 miles wore about 1/16 off. Note that it's hard to decipher the exact tread measurement in that picture because the camera is not parallel with the line of measurement.

Man those are some badazz looking tires. They remind me of the tread on one of the Catepillar earth movers.

Yeah they're awesome looking tires... i wanted them for years and finally got them for this truck. They're a good 60+ lbs per tire though for these 33s :lol: .

15,000 MILE UPDATE

Starting tread depth = 20/32 (.625")

10,000 mile tread depth = 18/32

15,000 mile tread depth = 17/32

 

Barely any wear in the past 5k miles! Looks to be just under 9/16 but well over 8/16. So I took the average of 8.5/16 which is 17/32 tread depth.

 

Overall tread loss in 15,000 miles is 3/32!!! Hopefully this trend continues.. at 30k miles i should have a good 13-14/32 Left (For reference... MOST A/T tires come with 14/32 or 16/32 tread depth brand new)

At this rate you will get 100,000 Miles!! Highly doubtful though. But it looks like I found my next set of tires.

 

:ughdance: dont forget that you replace tires long before they get to 0" tread depth. I usually dont go below 5 or 6/32. Plus as tires age their wear tends to accelerate.

 

Im thinking an easy 30 with this set... probably 40... and a slight possibility for 50. (if i keep them that long!... ill have to sell them to someone on this forum so we can continue keeping track...)

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
