Exactly. The LX570 is even heavier than the LC at over 6000#'s Add in aggressive gears, full time 4wd and 400lb-ft of torque and they dont last. Plus, I think Toyota went a bit low on the recommended tire pressure. More comfort but more wear too. The tread wear rating of the factory Dunlops is 360 which is middle of the pack. Compare that to the Duratrac which carries a 500 tread rating and you can see why they wear. Its ride or durability I guess.
How many miles do you have?

Stock tires good for 20-30k if rotated every 7-8k and easy driving you should get at best 35-40k.

I run 36 psi.
hmmmm, well I've got goodyear duratracs and have 40k on them and they are not even half worn out yet, and trust me I need these things to wear out fast so I can get the wife to approve some bigger tires
theres a difference between approval and forgiven. I'd shoot for the latter by September...but that just me.

Just turned 90k on the '08. I've had it for 2 yrs and 30k miles. Brake pads, wobbly mirror fix, some driveline clunk, occasional CDL light issue, but nothing else. Great truck. Made me not miss my 100.
40k miles on these tires, and the damn things still look pretty good
Those look like they need to be replaced immediately with 35's!
Yes...easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission & oh yes, 3500 miles on my '15.
Just saw 18.5 MPG (after last fill) while being nice.

Yeah sounds about right, I'm approaching 30,000 (at 29,100 now) and I will be replacing them at the end of the summer or late fall, which should bring them to 35,000 or so. They were real s***ty this winter in the snow, lots of sliding and idiot lights and beeping going all the time. They are getting loud with the hum, hum, hum. They are the stock Michelins and I've Rotated them several times as well.

There's an "emergency tire replacement" lever next to your right thigh. Only needs to be used a few times while driving and your tires are ready to be replaced.40k miles on these tires, and the damn things still look pretty good
