Bridgestone Dueller OEM tires

[pm26]

Just curious, how many miles can I expect from a set of stock Bridgestone dueller A/T on my Z71?

Would you recommend slightly higher than recommended tire pressure for maximum longevity?

I usually run these at 38 psi cold (vs recommended 35 psi).

I've got about 42K on mine so far running the same pressure. I rotate every 10K and there is still 8/32nds left.

i got 31 out of mine and had them rotated every 3000-5000. my friend got 33 out of his and rotated them every 6000

I have 90000 kms on my 04 and I still have a little less than half the tread left.

I run mine at 36 pounds and rotate them every 15000 kms.

Just curious, any of you experienced excessive feathering of the front tire outer edges with these tires? I had that problem and since realigning the truck and rotating the tires, it is much better now.

Are you talking about the OEM Generals or Bridgestones? I hope it is not Bridgestones.

The Bridgestone Duellers on my truck didn't make it out of the dealers lot. Insisted they replace them with Michelin LTX-MS, all 5 of them before I would buy the truck.

i was talking about the bridgestones. i tried many times to get them replaced but just had to finally do it myself

Got 10,300 out of my factory Bridgestones, they had enough tread to make it through another summer but I was nto going to try to make it through winter with them. Rotated every 3000 miles and drove the truck like a grandma and they still didnt last. During the last few hunderd miles, I noticed they were very bad in the rain. I would spin out from stop signs and the ABS kicked in when braking. Glad I replaced them with Michelin LTX M/S.

Only 24,000 miles on my Duellers but i never rotated them either. I installed a set of Firestone Destination A/T's which I really like and had great reviews. 7,000 miles on them now and wearing great.

Bought my truck used with 32K miles on the clock. Tires looked decent but after the first snow/rain I took them off immediately! Love the Michelin Cross-Terrain SUV's. Night and day difference.
