There's a reason the General used them...$$$ (cheap). Notice they're now on the lower end of the name brand price scale? Probably because most customers never buy more than one set...lol.
I'm at 22k now, voted over 30k as treadwear overall isn't bad. They're still between 1/2 and 3/4 treadlife left.
I'm getting them siped here real soon and they'll be even better in the snow than they always are. And then try to milk them out to next fall, but currently running about 1000mi per week, so I may get sick of them much sooner than that!
But yeah, they are noisy ill-wearing tires. Great traction, but that's where the compliments stop, lol.
Have rotated mine F to R once and Just rotated them back F to R. Front inside treadblocks are feathering or cupping more than they should.
The last set I had (a dozen years ago) I attributed the poor wear characteristics and road noise mostly to my driving conditions, which would wear the outside of tires down first. (60 mi of mountain canyon driving at highway speeds, daily)
These ones are wearing front inside treads, almost like the front end has neg camber (it doesn't).
I know how to rotate my tires and can get even wear, consistently, even on a solid axle rig with mudders and I know what to look for and how to correct most all different tire wear scenarios. But not these things.
