DS tire number 3

By my best estimate this makes 60K trouble free miles on DS tires.

Wow you run them down to no tread. So youre saying 30,000 per tire? And Starting on #3?

That has a nice looking crown to it Jared
I had the General Altamax on my Nomad and honestly wasn't all that happy with it.
I just putt ME888's on the vaquero and if I don't get some decent millage out of these I may try darkside next
I got 4000 miles out of my stock stones so obviously I ride a little harder than most LOL

Yes, I am also on my 3rd of the same tire
Very pleased with these tires!

I finally made the jump to a 2008 1600 and when the new Shinko tires wear out I will be getting the CT s once again!
