Default 10 ply tires on a half ton.

Most of the time, I do not get very good tread wear on my vehicles.
I’ve had a number of Suburbans and Trucks over the years and they have been the worst. 5-6 years ago a friend from work told me he put 10ply tires on his 1/2ton Ford and was pleasantly surprised at how long the tread lasted.

At that time I had just purchased a new GMC 1500. I wanted to level and large tire the truck. I bought TOYO 295/60/20 Open Country AT III 10ply tires for the stock rims. They have been on the truck now for 130,000km(75,000miles) and still have 6-7/32s tread left. I have been running them at 35psi unless I’m pulling something.

This was the first Winter where I decided the the tread depth was not enough for our particularly snowy climate, so I swapped them out for Ice radials, but they will go back on the truck in the early spring as I am confident I can get another 25,000miles on them.

They have been a great all round tire, but are a little noisy on the road. I would be buying my third set of tires by now if I had made my typical choice.

Has anyone else tried/experienced this outcome with 10 ply tires?
