Great going. I bet your vehicles last a long time also. Non aggressive driving will really make your vehicles last. The last two vehicles that I turned over had over 230K.
I also get 80 to 100K on all my tires except for the ones that come from the factory. I use Michelin tires for the most part. On my F350 I now have 34K on the factory tires. The rear duals have very little wear and the fronts are starting to show some wear (especially the left front that I ran at low pressure for one day when the wheel cracked). They have a lot of wear left. So far I am happy as I carry the largest slide in camper at all times and I tow my trailer with the carryall on it. I am pushing the max GVW on the truck and also the GCVW with the trailer on it. I looked at my trailer tires after my trip to Indy and they show very little wear. I am pushing 20K on those tires which are bias ply 7.50 X 16 trailer tires.
The final demise of most of my tires is usually road debris. Occasionally I will have an alignment problem which will eat the fronts.
