I feel good if I get 20k miles from the fronts on my 98. Rears dry rot before I can get 50k on them. Rotation? Ha! They are always directional and different size front and rear. Rotating isn't an option.

I think highway and no weight are the game changers here. Turning is very hard on tires, and obviously weight puts more load on them.
