I just put some new 285's on,what a difference!!I chose the A/T because the mud tires were wearing quick[I didn't rotate em]and were noisy when on the phone,window down etc.Stayed with same size cause I like the height,but if I would have known how rough they'd been,I'd would have changed them sooner.Anyone else's Duramax love to ''eat'' the rear tires?OR is this my failure to rotate the tires regularly?The fronts had 40-50% left,while the rears were almost BALD

Mine eats rear tires too. I don't really beat on it either, just a lot of miles. Went 10k between rotations last time and that was about 5k too many. Keep 'em rotated, it make a big difference.

I have never really been hard on tires,but like you,I have rolled them a bit.I NEVER rotated the old ones,maybe that's part of it? I will rotate these though,every 5k I guess will be ok..I rotated the ol M/T heavily before I got to the tire shop

When it's time to replace mine I'll take pictures. Have to find a parking lot and just light 'em up.

Ya its amazing what a difference just changing the tires will do to your truck! Mine eats tires to If I dont keep them rotated. My buddy works at a dealership. When I bought mine he said If I didnt roate them ever 8,000 miles Id go throught tires every 12. Sounds about right to me! Gotta get some pics up to.

New shoes....Smooth & quiet too 
]and were noisy when on the phone,window down etc.Stayed with same size cause I like the height,but if I would have known how rough they'd been,I'd would have changed them sooner.Anyone else's Duramax love to ''eat'' the rear tires?
OR is this my failure to rotate the tires regularly?
