I got a used set with 5,000 miles on them and I ran them for 30,000 - probably could have gone another 5K.
- did need rotations every 3K to keep the noise down.

I put about 20k on my 245's before I couldn't live with the noise anymore. I was doing a 110 mile commute, and the howl was killing me. The MT/R's aren't to bad with road noise, but they get worse the more miles you put on them.

I have about 18,000 miles on the MTR's of my Rubi. They need to be replaced. Part of that is with the Daystar lift on the Libby you can't get the alignment 100% so they tend to wear faster than they should.
