I know all the baws here drive F-150’s with KO2’s like myself, but what are y’all putting on your wives vehicles?
These Michelin’s that came on my wife’s XT5 are about fricking bald at 45k and I’m seeing Goodyear’s and Bridgestone’s that are rated for 75k+.
What’s everybody have experience with?

Avoid Coopers. Those wear very quickly

"Baws" don't have trucks with all terrains.

Premier LTX... They’re not truly bald, but definitely down to the wear bars

Yokohama Geolandar A/T - I run these tires on my 4runner in Colorado on all types of terrain. They are affordable, durable and they work well in all terrain and do not make a lot of highway noise.

Tried Coopers once on a F150, the more the tread wore the harder the rubber compound is, they seemed to spin and slip on wet roads a lot after about 25k miles, felt very unsafe so I got rid of them.

Ran Duelers on my 4Runners in the past and currently on my wife’s Sequoia. Good tires with no problems and good mileage. Nice ride as well.

Interesting. I've had Coopers on numerous vehicles and my FIL has them currently on his RAM and we've never had any such issues. I was just checking them out for my son's Xterra and they also have one of the better, more aggressive tread patterns and certainly some of the highest ratings.

This! Those tires started giving me serious trouble pulling the boat out of the water on some ramps. Thought I was going to lose my truck to the lake gods a few times.

I've had good luck with South Korean tires.
I also try to buy cars that don't have absurdly large wheels, they hit you at the factory for the wheels, then they hit you every few years for expensive tires.
Go to Tirerack.com and do some comparison shopping.
Tires are the biggest scam in my book. Had good luck with Yokos in the past, but you'll pay for them. Pirellis are not worth it, neither are goodyear.
Also consider this: if you pay half, for tires that last half as long, that's a better deal in my book. Punctures happen and I'd rather buy a $200 tire than a $800 tire.
