Off-Road Tire Treadwear question

How many miles will a off-road tire last in street driving? 5k? 10k? I have BF MT's on the truck now, and since dedicated off-road tires don't have UTQG rating its kind of hard to know how long they will last. The truck is not my dd and I understand that the off-road tires are not for street driving, but there is going to be some street driving regardless. I hope I won't have to buy another set of tires for street driving

Id say near 30k with proper alignments and rotations.

Ive heard the BFG AT's go 50k, So the mts cant be too far behind..

EDIT: In review #3 on this page, idk if its a joke but dood says he has 45k on his...

I've ran the BFG M/T's on a 3/4 chevy and they impressed the hell out of me wear wise so on a Toyota they will last along time. I'm running the BFG KM2 on my yota and I love them. They are kind of hard to clean out but if you spin the tires they will do it!!!

Can't speak for the BFG MT's but my AT's laster 35,000. Since then I've run three sets of Dunlop Mud Rovers. Each set got at least 40K before needing replaced.

a radial should last longer than a bias

If the tire is just used for almost off road trips exclusively and not on a DD I think the tires would get old before they wore out say after 7 years or so.
