Early wear out is very subjective and often due to vehicle/ driver. Busted belts and bulges - not good at all

@Mopar Tim I have seen some of your posts got to ask, why are you trying to go cheap on tires of all things!?
Me too.
But figured Tim needs to save $ where he can, if it makes sense. So for him it might be worth digging deeper. Those two reviews could be 'cause the owners hit curbs or similar. Worst case they're not real buyers and just made something up (ie competitor with no scruples)
here's another set of reviews
Achilles Desert Hawk UHP review and test rating @ Tiretest.com
Not so great either but maybe fine for easy Calf. driving to get groceries???
IME separation of belts comes from improper rotation, being switched from side to side making them roll backwards. Tire settle into a direction, then you swap them to the other side, cord separation will soon follow...IMO
I have 5 children I did not have before....That's why....
IIRC that was what the mfc said when radials were still a fairly new item.
They still do that believe me, Especially on truck tires.

OIC not trying to be a dick, that makes sense. I guess I missed those posts this backreading thing is tough
I expect any 'ultra high performance tire" to have a somewhat soft compound, not last as long, and have less spaces in the tread for standing water, and forget snow or mud. Appreciated most by an umm... enthusiastic driver. lol.
I used to buy used tires. Definately not the best for anything, but was cheap and convenient at the time.
Now I'm generally looking for best traction for the uses intended. Not putting a lot of miles on - so its totally worth it to me. Everyone is different.

A set of 1400 dollar tires lasted 36K miles. Might get another 8 to 10 if I go down to the bone....Bad thing is the truck and the edge both need tires. 10 expensive tires.

I don't rotate mine regularly , but sooner or later they have been done and swapped sides. Have never had that problem.
They dont always do that but every time I have seen it is after a rotation....
5?! I thought there was 3
Nope 5..............Craig thought 3 as well....
Ouch. why 10? I just did the Magnum with Firestone Destination LE2's. Did 2 at a time as I had the cash. Total for 4 225 60 r18 was near $650.
6 on the truck and 4 on the edge. One of the bad things about a duel y, 2 extra tires to purchase.
Tire prices have gotten out of hand.....
yeah they have
