On my 4700, I got only 40,000 on the original Michelins. Fought with Michelin and they admitted the XZU4 tires were defective and they were being discontinued. They installed a set of XZE's and I now have 70,000 on the front and I think they are good for another 5-10,000 miles. I recently replaced the rear tires with a set of Toyos and I am very dissatisfied with them. On the Michelins, I ran 55 PSI in the rear and got great wear and a great ride. On the Toyos, I have to run 90 PSI to keep the rear from 'sqirmming' and try to steer the truck. When running without the trailer it rides very rough. I have contacted Toyo about it and they can offer no assistance.
