Default OEM tire life

Hello all

Just looked at my original Michelin Cross Terrains today... Have about 56k on my '05. I figure I may have to replace them around 60k.... Got me wondering..

1) How many miles did you get on your original tires before you had to replace?
2) What brand was on the truck when it came from the factory?
3) What did you replace the originals with?
4) How often are you rotating the tires?

- Just a couple of crazy questions that came to me while stuck in traffic.....
thanks

Just an FYI - The CT's have a 65k mile warranty. Here's the link.

I rotate mine every 8k miles give or take.

They are fantastic tires probably some of the best tires out there for the GX. If you keep them properly inflated and rotated you should get well in excess of 65k miles. I've heard of owners getting 90k+ miles out them. If they are wearing out prematurely file a warranty claim. I hear Michelin is discontinuing them...
