How long do BFGoodrich tires last ?

I have been asked many times: "How long do your tires last?". Well, I am surprised myself. With all the rough trails I submit my tires to they hold up extremely well. I had a set mounted in 1997 and drove for more than 35,000 miles since then - they appear to be promising another 35,000 miles.

Since I had adjusted my front torsion bars, and decided not to have the front end realigned there was some concern that it would have a negative effect on caster and camber, thus leading to premature tire wear. The image below shows that this has not been the case - yet.

The following image shows a front tire at 37,377 miles on 9-16-99



 
I recommend this tire to anyone who needs to travel rough roads, still expects the highest comfort and safety on-road
