Approaching a month now and I still haven't experienced any rubbing. I'm a little shocked by that.

The Denali looks good!

My RAM Power Wagon came with these tires. They work extremely well in snow/slush/ice. Although just slightly noisy at first, they definitely get much noisier. I have 15k miles on mine now, rotate them religiously, no major cupping at all, but they are getting very noisy. Also very worn... much more than I would expect for a tire with 15k relatively easy miles on them.

I have these tires on a F350 work truck that has a utility body on the back and carry extra weight constantly and still have a bunch of tread left on them. I don’t remember how many miles are on them right now. I’ll update tomorrow if I remember so I can look at the miles.

Our company wants us to rotate tires at 10,000 mile intervals but this last time it went about 15 because the dealer which I took it to did not rotate the tires like they were supposed to and I wasn’t able to get back to them before the next oil change interval which is 5,000 mile intervals. So I can tell they have gotten noisier because of that but still not bad.

They are a good all around tire in any weather conditions. I mainly got them for their winter weather performance though.

Thanks for the input! I'm planning on rotating every 5,000-7,500 miles or so. Everyday I drive right by the tire store where I bought them from, so I really have no excuse to not keep them rotated.

Here is a quarter test with mine. 15,253.1 miles. 285/70/17. Rotated 4 times. Never once squeeled the tires with them (honestly). Babied overall. They are under an 8000 pound 3/4 ton truck, though.

Dont get me wrong, the tires are still in good shape. Its just when I look up under the truck at the spare, it looks like it has WAY more tread. And I admit, I have not done any actual tread wear gauging (other than that quarter ha), but they look to be worn down a good quarter inch or better.

I love the tires. They just are wearing faster than I would like. And quite noisy (just as noisy as most mud tires I have had in the past).

Looking good! I am looking to level wife’s suburban and put on new wheels and tires. Trying to decide on 20’s or 18’s, it came with 22’s. We had a 2013 Tahoe with duratracs, they are a great tire especially in snow. The noise became bothersome after 20-25k got 50k out of them though.
