My son needs new tires and these are what he wants.
Will they last 50k miles or 25k miles?

Pretty mundane. They go round and round followed by increments of just sitting there doing nothing. I wouldn't want to be one.

I typically get 40-50K per set rotating every 7-10K miles. Best all around tire I've run for street and mud.

I have 52k on my set they are wearing down but likely have another 5-10k on them. I rotate every 7k

They are really good tires. About the best balance of off road without that terrible humming noise. I ran them for 10 years. Around 35-40. Could always tell it was time when they would spin leaving a dead stop and turning when the road was wet. This was the all terrains...

Got a set on the wife’s jeep prolly have 35k-40k on them and they still have plenty grip to crawl over curbs and speed bumps at target.
Went with them cus a buddy has been using them for years and said he regularly gets over 55-65k miles on them.

I couldn't get more than 40k on an old Z71, so I went with Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws.

I'm loving them so far.

I'm not a fan of the "ridge" grapplers. On my sons f150 and they are slick as owl shite in the rain.

I've had the "terra" grapplers with great success on other trucks and suvs.

I run the trail grapplers, which is the more aggressive mud terrain on an F250. Had 3 sets now and get 53k on the nose on all of them. I’d guess an easy 55 on the ridge grappler variety.

I have about 65k on 6yr old RGs. PLenty of tread left.
Wrangler JK Unlimited. Mostly road miles with light off-roading mixed in.

I prefer them to the BFG KOs that i had on an earlier jeep. I believe them to better in wet road and mud than the KO2s. The KO2s wore like iron though.

ETA: I rotate & balance every 3-4k miles

Check out Kanati Trail Hog. I have a set in my Silverado 2500. Bought during Covid because basically all I could get I have 46K mikes in them and they have another 10K miles on them. I rotate every 3rd oil change. They ride decent and have been pretty good off road. Road noise is noticeable but not terrible. 35” tires were $1400 OTD in 2021. I’ll be buying another set once these need replacing.

50-70 if you rotate and balance every 5k.

No offense, but the only way you're getting 50-70k is if you're on hardball for all of it.

I'm on gravel roads 70% of the time and also in mud on my farm and on slick boat ramps. My ridge grapplers couldn't get traction on slick boat ramps once they had some wear on them.

On my Duramax I didn’t get near the mileage I got out of Toyo ATs that I normally run with…and they got really loud when they started to wear.
