I ran my tires within 2 PSI of max cold pressure (rated 50 psi cold - I kept them between 48-50 psi cold) and they lasted 55K miles. The sides were pretty much bald but still had tread in the middle (3-4/32").
I'd say if you were running them at max psi on sidewall and they still wore out the edges first then they weren't the right load rating for your truck.
its not that its not affordable but if you're planning to keep the truck for 8+ yrs why not save me $ on the way. Planning on enjoying my new truck, not going to daisy drive it.
Please don't be one of those people who go the exact speed limit on a 2 lane road while a dozen cars are following behind them waiting for any chance to pass. Those people suck ! Buy a damn Prius if your that worried about gas mileage for crying out load. It's a 5,500 lb truck what the heck did u expect? I average about 18.5 with mine & I'm very happy with that. Better than the 15 I got with my 2013 Ram or the 11 I got with my 2009 Chevy 2500.
I bet those $250 oil changes are fun too. And paying $5/gallon for diesel vs. $4/gallon for unleaded!
I like to roll right around 54 mph. Go to a race track if you want to go 55.
I suppose you are one of those people honking your horn and riding their *** for doing the speed limit. Why you gotta be in such a hurry? Granted I set my cruise 5 over, but if I come up on someone doing the speed limit, I just slow down until an opportunity arises to pass. No need to get upset over it
I don't know why you're going off on me, I was just posting an observation. I didn't buy this truck for fuel economy, so cool your jets.
Had a guy in a F250 swerving through traffic on my way home from work, cutting cars off, barely fitting through gaps to get around them. 1 mile down the road I had caught back up to him and passed him in other lane. I was doing the 45 mph speed limit because I was in my work van with company name plastered all over it.
I go 7 mph over. That's what my State Farm beacon will allow without a negative mark. People usually fly by me like I'm standing still at least 15 to 20 mph over the speed limit !! If u drive 55 mph on a 55 mph road here in Minnesota around the cities, u are likely to get ran off the road !! It's more dangerous to impede traffic doing that than it would be to go with the flow 5 or 10 over !!
No one is going off on anyone just an observation. I can never understand why people buy a truck & then ***** about the gas mileage?
I guess if traffic is behind you, you are setting the "flow"
Exactly, & if u see a line of 10 cars behind u at least do the descent thing & pull over & let them all pass. I've done that before. I hate it when people ride my ***. I like to have a few car lengths between me & the car in front of me just in case. I love the people who are completely oblivious driving in the fast lane completely impeding traffic & have no clue. When u finally pass them on the right they are either looking down at their phone, really old, or Somalian. Happen twice on my way home today. Traffic was backed up for miles on I694 because of one idiot going like 53 mph in a 60 mph zone. Smh like I said that's more dangerous than going 10 over. Even a cop will tell u that. Guess who the cop will pull over ? The dipshit going 7 under not paying attention! Stay with the flow & the cops will never bother u. They are looking for the guy blasting by everyone 15 or 20 over. Bobbing & weaving will get u pulled over too.
You and me both.
