I have a little over 28,000 on mine and they are looking pretty bad! I have 2 new ones in the garage, need to go ahead and get 2 more... I will probably change them at around 30K.

I got approximately 7900 miles on mine. I hated those tires to begin with. That was with a MILLION break stands.

I got 28000 Km's on a set on my 02 Lightning.

My 03 has 22,000 Km's on it and the back ones are getting pretty bald. Next oil change they will get a rotation

Tire Wear

I usually get about 8k to 10k out of my F1's with conservative driving. I find it hard to believe these tires last for 28k.

I think that the "688 rwtq" in his signature would explain why he may eat through tires sooner than other drivers would. You could drive like a grandmother all day long in a truck like that, and you would still eat them up.

I changed mine out at 42,300 miles and they still had tread left but I was getting afraid of running in the rain. I actually had a few(?) 1/4 mile passes on them too.

I live 6 miles from where I work. I deliberately charted a route with the most possible stop signs I could find. My F-1's last about 12k on average Then I rotate the front to the rear and I'm ready for another 12k
