Tires

Extreme · March 8, 2004

I am running the stock Bridgestone Dueler 265/75R16 tires that came on my truck, and now have 11,500 miles on them. My question is how long do these tires seem to be lasting under normal driving conditions and tire rotations when needed?

Thanks for the replies in advance!

In town driving is much harder on tires than highway miles.

But under normal driving confitions I would think a set of Duelers would go 40-50K miles. This is taking in to affect that you keep them rotated and check the air pressure regularly. Too much air will tear the centers out of your tires in about 20K miles.

I got 61,000 out of a set of Bridgestone Dueler AT's on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I replaced them when they got down to the wear bars. Most people I know would have driven on them another 10,000 miles.

Tire wear is dependant on so many factors that I don't really think there is a proper answer to this question. I live in Houston, TX where it is hot (80-90 degrees) 10 months out of the year and tires seem to wear quicker. I would say that if you get 40-60k miles you have gotten your moneys worth.

Driving style (lead foot), terrain, vehicle it's mounted to and if towing heavy.

Driving style, like this video: Huge burn out will have them last less than 1K miles.

Bridgestone Dueler model line has around 8 different versions. From OEM level to highest.

Know some who have them on smaller trucks (Toyota pickup and LandCruiser) that get's +70K miles.
