I tried the search function but didn't find any info. I'm new to the Yukon world. My 2016 Denali (22" wheels) is the first I have owned. Checking tire tread depth (5/32) and mileage (36,000 miles) I anticipate needing new tires around 50,000 miles. I understand the many variables that affect tire mileage. Should I expect better mileage than 50,000 total miles from a set of tires? Tire manufacturer/model recommendations? Real world experience? Any info you make available will be greatly appreciated.

Sharing the tire size and manufacturer would be helpful in getting an accurate response

Based on my experience with our ‘13 Escalade ESV and my ‘15 Yukon Denali XL; f you’re on OEM Bridgestone Dueler’s in 285/45/22 you should be pretty happy with getting 50K miles out of them.

Michelin Defenders, none better for that wheel and for street/highway use.

I typically don't make it to 20,000 miles on a set of tires, good job!

I've seen many recommendations for Michelin Defenders LTX. What has been your experience regarding mileage life using Michelin Defenders?

I have not used them personally. I used to sell LTXs 25 years ago and they always went an easy 80K miles. Current reviewers on TireRack mention 80K-110K with these latest tires. If I wasn't sweet on an All-Terrain tire, mine would be shod with the Defenders.

I replaced the factory Bridgestones with Dueller LTX’s not long ago (60,***) and as of now 20,*** later they still show full tread depth....so far so good. But I also have my tires rotated with every oil change - historically that has made a huge difference in tread life for me (significant highway miles for traveling business manager) assuming your vehicle is in good alignment and stays in alignment.

Heck I had a 2010 F-150 Supercab with Goodyear Wrangler ATs that I did the same rotation on and believe it or not those factory tires made it 126K miles before the tread got down to 5/32 and I replaced them! Still amazes me to this day - and is the reason I maintain the rotation schedule and alignment checks!
