They are pretty fat. I have 17k on them and have worn off 2/32's so far. They are rated at 45k. They are an inch wider than the mud flaps. Now don't be looking at my awesome brand X sway bar.

New pipes Sam? Very nice. I'm thinking about going 255's, just wondering about the clearance between the fenderwalls and the snow. We get snow that hardens in the winter, and I would rather not have any rubbing. I know with 245's, I'd be in the clear.

The Michelins wear forever, but they are hard as rocks. I have about 8K on my Generals and have been quite happy with them in wet and dry conditions. If the Tire Rack ratings are on-target, they are pretty similar to the Conti DWS, but less money. That's good enough for me. Mine are not squirrellly at all. There's more tread squirm, but the Michelins were on the wear bars, so that's expected.

Yea my stock michelins only have 34k miles on them and there not even close to the wear bars. I might pick up a new set of rims this winter im just trying to figure out a good pair of tires for them.
