I'm also going to be looking to get some for my other truck as well. Currently has about 350k on the B/S M713s and I'll likely get another 45-50k out of them before I replace them toward the end of the year. Wont get 457k out of them like Rawze, but I'm happy with 400k considering the amount of tight turning and scrubbing we do with this short WB truck. Really like the tires, but they were 3900 a few years back and today they're closer to 5600. I know everything has gone up, but dayuummm.

Just curious if there's anyone else out there trying something different in the Drive tire realm... Be nice to get some good tires and not spend over 11k between the 2 trucks if there's a nearly equal alternative.

I cant speak on the quality/longevity, but Service Tire started offering Apolla brand, around $400 a piece, and they claim if they dont perform like any other brand of tire, (fuel mileage, longevity etc, theyll make up the cost difference, and if u get a puncture, theyll replace the tire... Sounds too good to be true, im curious if anyone has experience with them??
