How many miles did your last set of mudd terrain tire last and what brand were they ?
Trying to figure out which mudd terrain tires last the longest I do about 85 percent street driving and my current set of Mickey Thompson claws m/t are going on a little over 22k mile and are about 95 percent worn out , I'm trying to decide between the industry standard bfg mudd terrains or the general grabbers m/t I know mudd terrains wear quicker on the streets but 25k miles is ridiculous 😞 and I had them balanced and correct alignment on my runner.

 

25k is not bad for a mud tire...?

I hear people reporting 50k out of the new Goodyear Mtrs

I believe my BFG MT's have almost 40k on them all together. Started on my dads 2500HD, a chevy Tahoe, my old 2500, my old 93 xtra-cab toyota, and now my 4Runner still over half tread.
If you don't need mud tires all the time opt for a 2nd set of rims so you can have both mud tires and street tires.

 

got a buddy with firestone destination mt's with 20k miles and they still look new.

 

Thanks for the replys guys great info.pls keep em coming !! 😁

 

I had some maxxis bighorns last me about a year/5k miles. Softest rubber ever.

 

My dad had Firestone MT's from 2004-2012 and 60k.. They were almost bald, but served well all 8 years.

Now on his second set..

 

..also, they were mounted on a 1998 Dodge Ram 5.9 and saw their fair share of burn outs.

 

I got around 45K on my Mickey Thompson MTZ's.

 

For ever it seams...I don't let mud tire get below 50% before I replace them. It took about 40K to get to half tread life.


These trucks are so light that there easy on tires. My Ford Diesel on the other hand...that eats tires like no other. So I guess it all evens out...

 

Wow you guys are all getting way more 22k miles that I'm getting with baja claws anyone sporting the general grabbers red letters ??

 

maybe some of the prerunner/baja/high speed crowd are running Grabbers, not too many of the crawlers running these, if any. i know those are pretty tough tires though since they don't blow when bombing through the desert. aren't they really expensive too?

longest lasting MT tires i've seen: GY MTR/K, oldskool BFG MT, Firestone MT, and Toyo MT. the rubber compounds in those tires seems stiffer and gets the tires more into the 40k+ range. i got some pretty long life out of my old BFGs on a diesel k5 blazer, probably around 50k i'd estimate if i didn't sell it. Toyos on my current pickup seem hardly phased after 15k, but some accelerated wear and mild chunks due to rear locker. buddy of mine got like 60k from some Cooper STTs on his heep grand cherokee but they were super cupped and chunked out at the end.


this is blasphemy i know, but if you do 85% street driving with this rig, why not get a different type of tire that'll last slightly longer on the road? these days there are so many super aggressive AT tires out there, that they still perform as well, if not better than the MTs in every situation except for sloppy muddy/wet trails. you're in SoCal, you're not seeing mud at all unless you're driving in a flash flood - and mud is the least of you worries when that happens in the desert and a wall of water is headed your way from the canyons (i grew up in San Diego). i would personally look at these as an option, or get a 2nd set of wheels to swap tire sets when you need your MTs. sure they don't have the same visual impact, but sometimes you gotta use your brain and go as practical as possible so you can save $ for much better upgrades like REAL traction devices/upgrades (F/R lockers, lower gears, double cases, etc).

 

Good point even thou I really like the aggressive look of m/t tire I am starting to consider a a/t tire like the new bfg a/t but then again guys are getting like 40k + miles out of their bfg and mtr and toyos mudders which is way better then my 22k baja claws ? And yes the grabbers are $$ but tough as hell from what I hear

 

It all comes down to tire compounds the better the traction the softer the tire the faster they wear!!

Then speed and temperature and payload all enter into the equation

It is so very hard to find a good compromise between mileage and traction.

So I just gave up on the truck that sees pretty much all street and highway driving I run all seasons what ever flavor my tire dealer sells.

If need be and I need more aggressive tread it only takes about a 1/2 hour to swap on another set of wheels.

I think 25,000 miles is pretty good for mileage mine get swapped after 2 winters so most likely a lot less then I really don`t keep close watch .

 

25-30k seems to be the average with street driven rig on mud tires. when you start talking about lightweight toyota pickups, that's where we see the 50k tires...and they are sometimes more like slicks by then

 

33 baja claws ttc.. with about 11k miles so far. Lots of highway and off road every couple months. Looks about 80 percent left??.

 

Yeah mine did too until they start reaching 17k miles then they go from 80 percent to 25 percent real quick you'll see......

 

I'm on 25K on my Dick cepek FC2s and I got about 60% tread left

89' pickup 4 inch rough country suspension 31x10.50 dick cepek fc2s 15x8 ion alloy 174 series wheels+ glenns over the rail dogbox,mega 4 tracking unit,cb and private band radio, 2 6x9 speakers and over 15 deer a year put on the back!

 

I got 120,000 out of my bfg ats and ive got 20,000 on my 33x10.50x16 on my mastercraft mts and they still have 3/4 tread on them, i had them on a 00 toyota trundra which is now blown up and selling parts off of. I had a friend get 80,000 out of a set of nitto trail grapplers (34x12.50x20) and he had them on a full size gmc 1500

 

I still advocate for Firestone tires.. Both the MT's and AT's are great quality and last FOREVER. I expect my dad's current set of MT's will outlast the truck on which they're mounted!
