There has been some mention of various tires and expected milage from them.

how many miles you get from tires will vary on many factors including your type of driving, but most importantly how you take care of yoour vehicle. One of the vehicles we have is a 2000 ford Ranger (Purchased new in 2000) we just replaced the tires for the first time last month. The original tires were not bald yet, but the traction was going away. MILAGE on the first set was 105,000. We rotate every 5,000 miles and that is highway driving.

This little truck is also getting over 26 miles to the gallon on the highway.

Proper tire rotation can make a HUGE difference in how long your tires last. other big factors that will help you get the maximum milage out of your tires is to check and maintain the tire pressure regularly, and make sure that your vehicle is in allignment.

Tires cost alot of money, so the little things can make your tires take you much farther down the road.

You are so right.

 

Hey, 92vmax, how about those little Rangers? I still have a '90 4cyl that I bought new...now at 234,000 miles. I can't quite match 105,000 on a set of tires , but I did get 89,000 out of the first set, 80,000 out of the second set, and and 65,000 and still rolling on the third. It has the twin-I-beam front suspension that is supposedly bad about wearing tires, but it has never had an alignment.

Yes, I have had several rangers over the years, Including the 4x4's and the heavy duty ranger. I was disapointed to find out when I changed to the f-150 (02) that the ranger was capable of a heavier than the f-150. Ranger at about 1,800 lbs and the f-150 only 1,500 lbs.

This ranger gets alot of miles, and the milage of over 26 mpg is also really great!

I do like my 8200 GVWR though, A real truck when you need it!

 

Mileage.

I keed, I keed!

Now you can flame me back for spelling desperado wrong. Then, I'll have to explain why I do it!

 

I seem to get only 20k on pretty much any brand on any vehicle.. LOL
The only exception was some General Grabber A/Ts I had on a 91 Chevy Stepside. But my current Toyos perform better than any other brand.

 

Another factor is what vehicle the tires are on! I hear someone say "On my Jeep" Well, the size and weight of the vehicle will make a big differeance as well. The same tires on a jeep will outlast that combo on a full size f-150. The weight and stopping power is much different. Tires take more abuse. The original post is good advice to help increase your milage but so many things have an effect, if you want ot know them you have to compare the tires on a vehicle like yours and someone who drives the same. Try to get that info. LOL
