tire discussions are very always fun as everyone has their own opinions.
i go to a local truck tire shop and deal with a guy i trust. he talked me out of buying the more expensive michelins and i bought Continental. my tires are great and are smooth riding. as for wear, i suspect you will never wear them out as they will age out before wear out.
