Spot on! I wondered why I got 80,000 out of my B'stones and will only get about 50,000 out of my General Grabbers if I'm lucky.

Will probably go back to the Alenzas the next time if they still make them.

I have 33K on my 07 Tahoe with 20in Bridgestones and rotate them every oil change or about 7k miles and they still look good and have plenty of tread....
I will most likely go back to the Bridgestones because of the quite ride, if you go with LT's you can get road noise due to the larger tread gap....
I had 33x10.50 BFG A/Ts on my 97 Tahoe they looked cool very Tonka truck but a bit rough and noisy... kinda bouncy too

I love the factory tires on the 2007 I have. 700 tread wear you can't beat that. They are quiet and smooth hands down the best tire I have seen on an SUV that doesn't warp, cup, or wear unevenly.
