new tires for my H3
I am the original owner and we are coming up on 7 years which is really longer than you should run a set of tires regardless of tread wear in my opinion. I have the Adventure package with bridgestone dueler 285/75R16 and at 45,000 miles i am impressed with the amount of tread that is remaining. I have been keeping a close eye on them and I am starting to notice some very fine cracking in the tread portion so time to replace. I plan to back with the original tire and size.
I am wondering how many miles otheres have gotten out of these tires.

I bought my h3 used about a year ago and I do enjoy wheeling it so I bought bigger mud tires but my stock tires were awful. They only had 27000 miles on them when I finally bought my new tires and I wasn't impressed with how soft they were and how the tread wore on them. I personally would buy a better tire of the same size if that's what you're looking for. Good luck tire shopping.

I have heard stories of of the OEM Duellers going above 80,000 miles.
Personally, we have never had them on any of our HUMMERs more than a week or 2 before swapping them out for a more agressive larger tire.

I ran about 80K miles on the 285/75's on my H3 even though they were marginal off road - at best. I replaced them with GY Duratracs in the same size. Great tires on and off road, nice aggressive look, but about a 1 MPG drop in gas mileage. I am also thinking that they will not get the total life of the OEM tires or the BFG KO's I have used on other vehicles.

I have an 06 adventure. I got 33k from my OEM tires. Still had tread left but the sidewalls were weather checked and cracking, finally blew out a sidewall on the trail. The desert heat is not good to tires.

I have the 265 Goodyears and have cracks in them forming all over. I have been looking to get rid of them for a while, but the tread lasted pretty well. I hate the tire, but haven't had the $ to spend on new ones until now. 61k on them.
The worst part I can't decide on the Mickey Thompson or Duratrac...
