Michelin XDA Energy or Bridgestone M713 drives?

[JimT]

I have 4 m710 and 4 m713 on my truck right now. Visually, I like the tread design of the 713 better. As for wear, it hasn't been long enough to quantify any differences. I recently had a few consecutive fill-ups in the mid 8's (8.5, 8.7) with around 35-40k on the deck, so the tires aren't really a limiting factor for my fuel mileage. I like how the 713's don't pick up rocks like the 710's do. As for this past winter, the configuration I have worked just fine, even running extremely light weights. Generally speaking traction has been good. all around.

Only downside I've noticed, so far, with the 713's is that they come with 2/32 LESS tread depth than the 710's. Guess that gives them slightly better rolling resistance brand new at the expense of slightly shorter life expectancy?
