Normal observed wear is around 1/32" per 6,000 miles (10k km). That extra 4/32" gives me better traction for 24k miles than a new car type tire. Mounting, balancing and disposal fees add up, so a longer lasting tire that may cost a little more initially, but saves money in the long run. A new tire starting out at 13/32" will be down to 9/32" at the 24k mark.
What are you driving Aspen? Try Kijiji. Guys lift their HDs then sell original E rated tires, wheels 'n all at give away prices.
Lethbridge country is full of rattle snakes.

And I like a tire that doesn't jar me to death. Since most half-ton pickups ride like cars these days when unloaded.
Costs-whatever they are are secondary to my comfort.
Bladder not holding the coffee it used to ?
I know mine doesn't.
Your a good man to admit that-since some on here wouldn't. And the answer is YES!
