I'm confident I could push them to 50k too, if I lived somewhere else that never saw snow. Sounds like you need to get yours replaced asap. Are you going to stick with the Duratrac?volvite wrote:I've still yet to replace mine as I've been gone so much this summer for the military and my wife has slowed down her travels. However I have over 50K miles on the tires and will have to replace them before the snow hits in Utah. Can't have the wife driving slicks around in the mountains.
Duratracs are on the list of possible replacements. Basically I'm looking for the best least expensive set I can get between the Duratracs and the GYSA.NVSteve wrote:I'm confident I could push them to 50k too, if I lived somewhere else that never saw snow.

I feel your pain. An office space next door to mine was torn down and rebuilt over the summer. The guys doing the work were dropping things left and right. I ended up with a drywall screw in one of my tires, along with 3 other people in my office experiencing the same.volvite wrote:So about two weeks ago the family and I were getting ready to head to Teton National Park in Wyoming. The air pressure light came on before we left so a few nights before I went out to fill back up the tires. While I was out doing my job I noticed in the passenger rear tire a nice metal object.
Yeah, but you have absolutely no tread left whatsoever in a couple of those pics. Surprised you made it through last winterI know I got over 50K miles out of my set.
I was thinking of getting new tires last winter as well but we decided to hold off and what tread was left did fair last winter. We did put on about 7K miles this summer with trips which ended up putting us over the 50K miles for the duratracs.NVSteve wrote:I feel your pain.
