I put Winston "Winner" Radials on my 3/4 ton Ford Van (Twin I Beam -
notorious for eating front tires) and currently have ~50,000 miles
on them, and they still have a decent amount of tread left.  I had
both Goodyears and Goodrichs before and none of them even went
30,000.  Maybe this is an isolated case but I would sure put them
on again, that is if they ever wear out!
