I have Michelin Defenders on my 2020 F350 pulling a 16,000lb Montana. The fronts lasted just under 30k miles. The rears look like they might make 50k. Flattened the inside driver-side rear the other day. I’m riding in the spare. Ran over a large staple putting 2 holes, one large and one small, about an inch apart. The tire store said it couldn’t be repaired because a single patch won’t work and they can’t put a second patch because it will overlap the first. Best deal I can find is from Simple Tire at $316 plus $16 to mount and balance. I usually get my Michelins from Costco but when I brought them the dually for new front tires, they said they would only do dually as if I bought six or more tires. Go figure. I ended up sourcing the tires from an Augusta, GA Ford dealer. Won’t do that again … but that’s another story. My truck TPMS will alarm whenever truck tire pressure falls 20lbs below prescribed. So, I can - and always do - keep my fuel performance on the small screen.
