I got 25k out of the oem hankookys, I was hoping to get more out of my Extreme Contacts. I don’t put all of the highway miles on that you do but I do some spirited driving on some curvy back roads, I guess I better slow it down a little and try to get some more miles out of these treads! I had read the same thing somewhere on here about our the explorer being hard on tires. Enjoy your roadtrip and watch out for those crazy drivers.Thanks you! The continental DWS were good but the tires wore out so fast. I was only able to get 25K on them. I got a small rebate and I put the balance into a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires. So far they handle excellent especially in the rain but the true test will be in the snow this winter.
I’ve already got about 12K on these tires and they look like they are holding up very well. I read somewhere that our explorers are hard on tires and that the Pirelli’s are the ones that could take a beating everyday. We’ll see.
