R1T 21" tire wear at 5000 miles

[Rknb2000]

I am posting this because I have seen a lot of people ask about 21 tire wear. I am doing my first tire rotation at 5000. I am a retired, full time RV guy, some trips are without my RV. There are approx. 2500 miles of RV driving. (Rv is 23”, 4900 lbs loaded no sway bar, extra long hitch. Those miles are in tow mode). The other 2500 is around town and highway trips. No off roading or 4-wheeling. In that 2500 miles is also 400 miles of Conserve. Tires are at 8/32 all the way around. I keep psi at 48. Never raced or allowed spin outs. I guess I will get around 25,000 miles out of them. Any other questions just ask.

I have 21's too. I have about 17,000 on mine and just had a tire rotation yesterday and they said most are getting around 25000 on a set of tires and some getting 30000. He thought mine were looking good and may get closer to 30,000. I drive mostly in all purpose and on trips in conserve. I do not tow so that may make some difference.

Thanks for the info.

I'm a bit past 20,000 as well, 99% of that is in all-purpose and should get close to 30,000 miles on this set. Still pondering a switch to 20" wheels just to have more tire options but not sure if the extra cost is really worth it.

That's why I got 16k out of mine. What good is being quicker than almost everything else on the road if you're not going to use it.
