Tire eating torque

[Riverjet]

Being new to this Duramax thing I never imagined how fast the original rear rubber disappeared on my 2008 3500HD Crew SWR. A friend said oh look you have diesel tires. I laughed and said "say what?" He showed me how bad my rear tires were worn and I was shocked. Never heard this saying before and am not impressed.
I guess the trick is to drive like a little old lady with a raw egg under the fuel feed. I did this with my new studded snows this winter and the rears seemed to melt away way just as fast.:banghead:

Is there a tire out there that can handle the torque of these monsters?

Gotta love a Duramax:happy2:

My BFG All-Terrain's do pretty well. That, and I rotate them every 5,000 miles. So far I have 30,000 on the set and they still have a lot of life left in them.

Toyo makes a tire for diesels I have not heard anything about them but I was thinking about giving them a try. Maby there is some ppl on here that have tryed them out?

Toyo mt's, put 65,000 on the first set, best tire I've ever used...

Are they E-rated yet? I looked at buying them, they look really good, but they werent rated to carry much.

LOL no joke on tire wear. These trucks are heavy torque monsters that love to eat tirers.

I hope my Toyo MT's last like calabrias, they are doing great so far.

I think I've only got about 20,000 on mine an I need a new set. but I tow alot that will hurt the life of a tire. If I didn't tow I would buy another set no question, they are very quiet for a AT tire.
