Default Bridgestone tire problem.

Is anyone else having problems with the tires wearing out that came on their truck. My first nnbs I bought had 3500 miles on it and I just sold it last week with 18000 miles on it and the tires looked like they will need replacing very soon. I just bought another Sierra nnbs and it was delivered to me today. The truck has almost 19000 miles on it and the tires look like they need replacing now. Very worn. I checked on line and these tires are suppose to be 65000 mile tires. Thought I would check with you guys to see if any of you were having the same problem. Both trucks had the Bridgestone Dueller H/L Alenza 275/55/20's.

The crappy Generals mine has are on they're way out. They might make it another 4-6mos. I'm around 17k miles on them.

My mom runs Dueler on her blazer and it wears just fine. Aggressive acceleration and stops will make them wear faster and failure to rotate regularly of course.

I had 40k miles on some BFGs at 1/2 to 1/3 tread remaining on my old Z71. I drove pretty normal and the tires seemed to last. I haven't had the same luck with my last set, I don't know why?

I guess its a little ironic that I had one truck that I basically put 18000 miles on myself and the tires were wearing out and then I get another truck from 500 miles away with basically the same mileage as the one I sold and the tire condition on it is even worse. My driving habits are not bad. Not alot of quick acceleration and sudden stops. Just frustrating to spend $800-1000 on tires so soon.

Maybe 7 or 8 times but half of those were only 6-8 mile trips. As for the truck I just purchased, I dont know what the previous owner did.
