Something doesn't seem right with the mileage you're getting out of the tires. Like others have said, load rating, tire psi, and loading the trailer balanced is what I'd be looking into.

Haven't had any input on air ppressure, everything else should be good.

I am running Toyo's on my F250 and pull an 10,000 pound load, so far I have 30,000 on them and prob.1/4 life left. I would buy them again.

I too use the Michelin LTX. They came stock on my Dodge and I don't have any complaints. The originals weren't the M/S2 but thats what I run now. The originals lasted 75k of 50/50 city/fwy driving with only 1 tire rotation. I only replaced them that early because I wore through the siping and needing snow traction for the passes around Tahoe. I wasn't to the wear bars but started to slide too much in the snow. The M/S2 was noticably better in the snow and the first set went 60-65k with considerably more stop and go. My truck is 8k and towing my 5th wheel I'm in the 20-21k GCVW range. The tires have always been smooth, quiet and predictable. These Michelin's have treated me very well and I don't hesitate to pay a little bit more for these over something else.

I am on my second set of Nitto Terra Grapplers on my F250 4X4. They are a great all terrain tire, they clean out very good and are fairly quite. I would recommend rotating them about every 5k miles or so to get them best life out of them. My first set lasted about 38k. I was running a tire too big for the rim so they wore out in the center, so I blame the low mileage on myself . This current set is the correct size for the rim and they have about 20k miles on them and I have plenty of tread left. I would recommend them, however I don't pull a trailer.

Thanks everyone for your input, I had Michelin LTX tires on my truck and with half the tread left they were terrible in the snow. Thats when I bought the Goodyear's, Nitto makes some good tires sooooooo I guess I have to pick out a tire.
