I think the protectant film was really key to holding the buff on mine, saved the road debris and wear to the faces too for the few years I had it that way.

Hey @ERG80 , what is the weight rating of your BFG commercial tires, and with that in mind, how do they ride on your T100? Your usage of the truck matches very closely with how I use my own 97 SR5. I ran LT C-rated Wild Country XTX tires from Les Schwab but found them to be a little harsh on the lightweight T100, so when they wore out I went back to P26570R16 Bridgestone AT's and I actually prefer the softer ride, even on forest service roads. The truck drives and steers noticeably better. I haven't had any problems with flats or lack of toughness when on dirt with the Bridgestones. It's a risk, I know, but crossing my fingers so far.The bfgoodrich commercial truck tires I put on July 2012 have 75,000 miles on them. They’ve got a little tread left but will need to be replaced soon.

Wow, now I'm wondering if I've been doing something wrong for the last 20 years. That's incredible mileage for a T100. I have a manual transmission like yours. Perhaps those narrow tires are helping you cheat the wind a little bit. I have run a Raider canopy since I bought the truck, but mileage doesn't change with having the canopy on or off. The only explanation I can provide is that I live in very hilly country and cannot drive anywhere without negotiating considerable hills. Even on the freeways around here I need to drop it down into 4th regularly to climb hills at 65mph. So maybe that's part of it. The nice part is that loaded up with kids, dogs, and camping gear doesn't seem to change the mileage much.
I’m hoping i’ll be Able to tomorrow.We need a pic once the those are mounted. Love the color on the wheels.
