I got 107,000 and would have probably gotten another 10,000 or so off the
Goodyear wranlgers that came stock on the 2003 Durango. I only replaced
them to 'shut the wife up' of her complaining about being WORRIED about a
tire that has so many miles on them. They were fine and served us well.
I replaced them with michelins only because I could get a deal on them at
Costco, otherwise I would have stuck another set of goodyears back on it.
I was very pleased with the tires. I'll never stick another BFG tire on a
vehicle I own. The sidewalls are too thin, even the new "KO" tires.. The
KO to me meant.. KNOCKED OUT.
I'm running Pro Comp all terrains on my 2002 QC and while a lot noiser
they seem OK as well. Good in the snow.
