38k, almost to the bars and getting replaced tomorrow. No burnouts or crazy driving. Can't happen soon enough, they are by far the worst tires I've ever had in snow and rain.

36,500 on mine. I've only rotated them once. (Well twice, just did the second rotation ever) Minus one that has been on the right rear, which gets the most use by my driving, I could see 45-50k out of these tires if I rotated them often. I also have put down a few patches with them so.....

I'm actually not mad at their performance. We don't get a lot of snow in Portland but I've never had a problem in it. At the first of the year I still got the family safely to Great Wolf Lodge in one of the worst snow/ice storms we've ever seen. Normally a 2 hour drive that took 5 that day. That drive actually impressed me. We were solid, driving around people having trouble.

Even with all the rain around they've been decent. Maybe I'm not pushing my truck hard enough. For the price I'm going with the same at replacement time.

Mine went around 26-27k, only because I drive in and out of the mountains on curvy roads and of course there's the fact I have anti-slip which tends to scrub the rears a bit quicker. For my driving habits I like them so I just got a new set the only difference being non-whitewall models.

*Ignore my old post about how I broke the factory set in. ;)

Crazy the variance of tread life with the same tire. I'm at 18k and will be replacing mine probably late spring or early summer next year. I've got right at 6/32 tread left.

I'm sure some tire wear variance is due to location climate variances. I can probably get more life out my tires living in a relatively mild Southern California than somebody living in a more extreme weather climate.

I really don't like the OEM tires, though. As soon as water hits the ground, these lose traction so easily. Good thing it never rains in SoCal, lol.

I believe my 2006 Dakota had the SR-As. I put 50K on them without an issue before I put a set of Daytons on to replace them. My 2011 RAM had the SR-As as well. They're not a phenomenal tire by any means but they get the job done, and they seem like they're well made and wear well.

A bite under 35k and the right rear is nearing the TWI. They were rotated two times. My truck was used to haul a heavy (~7000 lbs) trailer several times, about 8,000 miles in all. I have seen SR-A tires wear out in as little as 20k miles - my guess is heavy right foot drivers.

Boy all you guys got more out of the SRAs than I did. Mine were at least half worn by 15k. No burnouts or donuts or anything. Wet traction was absolutely horrible at that point. I ended up getting Cooper AT3s at 17k. I have 22k on the truck now and the AT3s are still like brand new.

The SRAs were one of the worst tires I've ever had on a vehicle.

I used them the whole time I had my 2011. I put 98,000 kms on them. They still had a decent amount of tread

27K miles, tread was 7/32nds when I replaced them, However, if someone spit on the highway. the truck would hydroplane, reason for getting new rubber.

Was not impressed with the tires, whatsoever.

I live in Portland too and have about 1,500 miles on my new '16 Ram 1500. I see tons of people saying the SRA's are horrible in rain but I don't think so at all. With the rain we were getting a week or two ago I had zero issues and it came down pretty hard at times. I don't know how these people are driving but the tires seem just fine to me in rain.

Will find out about snow once ski season starts. Most people seem to say these tires actually do decent in snow.

See how they are in 10000 or 15000 miles. That's when mine started getting bad in the rain.

I was going to try and get 50k out of mine, until I developed a bubble on the sidewalk. Not very happy about that at all. Currently have 40k on them.

I replaced mine at 31,000 miles. Had three at 5/32 tread and one at 4/32. I put Yokahama YK-HTX on.

Same here (minus the Portland part) with the HP's that are on mine.....no issues at all, but everyone else seems to think they are the devil............

I've had them on my truck for about 7000 miles. So far they've been a great tire and have little to no wear. Fantastic in the rain and snow also.
