Sharp looking truck! Looking at getting something like that myself, I wish they offered them in a 6.2!

All 4 corners are down to 50psi cold to get to get full contact across the tire unloaded. This will help keep the tires wearing even and improves the ride quality but gets to be a pain when needing to air up to pull the camper or impromptu hauls/pulls. Started at 65 and a chalk line and worked my way down.
Giles, there is not a 6.2L option for 3/4 or 1 tons? How about 8.1 still?

Nope, only in the Denali package for the HD trucks. Options for a gas motor is the dinosaur 6.0 and it's not very impressive or fun to drive…it's proven though.
Two years and about 40K on them with no complaints. They definitely rumble at low speeds but it's worth the grip/clear out improvement over an AT. Towing hasn't been a problem, hoping to get 55-60k out of them. I think they are on tract with a little more right now.
Those are wearing really even for that amount of miles. Good stuff man. Hard to believe it's already been two years since you got them.
Don't want to detail too much. What are your standard expectations for wear? I ask because my dually has 105-107k miles on it. Had BFG AT installed in 2012 at 72k miles. Most of the miles are loaded at 80psi. Pulling trailers, fifth wheel, snow plow/salt spreader loaded to the hilt with very little empty driving miles. So around 35k miles of highly loaded start/stop driving, with lots of turning. I would say they have another 10-15k miles left in them but are beginning to show some weather checking around sidewalls. I honestly don't drive it much unless we are working it. Bit disappointed they are showing weather checking in 7 years. Otherwise hard to complain.
I agree. Especially on a truck seeing heavy use and running at max pressure. Honestly I think 50k is OK for any full size truck and AT tire combo. My BFGs are hands down the best tire I've ever run, getting me close to 70k before I swapped for a new set. I've had other brands that barely got to 45k miles.
