Thankfully, I let my tire guy talk me into buying a set of tires last year before the prices shot up and availability went down (so far I've saved around $450 overall in what I'm seeing available in my current size on the Toyo R/T I bought). Got 60k on current BFGs and he told me to keep driving them when I went by to get him to check them before heading out on a road trip last week.

Vernon, what rating tire are you putting on? Lower speed rating on P rated tires and lower letter rating on LT tires are usually less rubber. I put LT E rated tires on my Sequoia. They ride stiffer, but are also tougher off road (as far as punctures go). I generally get 60k+ out of my tires. The OEM tires that were bald at 36k, when I bought it, were some sorry P rated Bridgestones that shouldn't have been put on something that heavy in the first place. You may consider going up in speed rating on a set to see if that helps.
