Singles on mine, and the front end wear seems not to be an issue with this rig.
If you don't pay attention you will scrub the rears off first. I will try to get pictures of it this weekend when I am in the parade (NM State fair parade, we sponsor Keep New Mexico Beautiful and the state litter control mascot 'Dusty Roadrunner').
By the way, I saw a funny bumper sticker on a Dodge with a lift and stacks the other day it stated "My engine weighs more than your car".

They are pricey but I have heard nothing but good things about them. I also moved up in size to 285/70-17, about the largest you can put on the stock 8.5" rims. I think the weight of these trucks, especially over the front axle, is what generates the wear. I bet your dually weighs just a little more than the Titan.

I wore the fronts out because of my cornering habits.

I had Revo's on my 97 for 50k rotating them every 6k, they were toast when I replaced them. I found the rears wore quicker than the fronts - single axle. They were a little squirmy towing at first, I kept them pumped up logged cold and hot pressures until I felt they were the best. They'll get harder as they wear down and loose some traction around 30-35k. I'd buy them again.

How much pressure do you guys run in your fronts? 60some lbs. sounds like an awful lot to me. I always ran 45psi front and rear with my powerstroke, rotated about every 10,000 mi and always seemed to have even wear, and a decent ride. Well anyway that's where the wife seemed to be the most contented. I've always had BFG A/T's and got 40,000 plus as I recall.

70 all of the way around loaded or unloaded for me. Haven't had an issue with the Bridgestones on either truck.

I have BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A 's on mine from the factory(optional on/off road tire w/raised white letters) 265/70/17 service discription 121/118 load range E, and they take almost every driving situation well, they are good in the snow and rain , don't make a lot of noise on the road,and does good in most off road conditions .. the rear is wearing more than the front ,but thats more me than the truck/tires...I have the tpms as well and the light load setting , but at first running at factory tire pressures in the front and rear, the light would come on it seemed like once a week and the tire pressures would be off a little but not bad so I went to 70psi. all around and it seems to like it because no more lights, good tire wear and great maners in all conditions even towing. the only thing I did was turn the white letters "in" because I thought the truck looked better that way, I rotate @ 10,000 miles and have 23,000 on them, have had to replace one ($165.00ea.)as I ran over a big spike in the road with the left front tire towing the maverick on the car hauler durring vacation in july, (even durring a tire going down with a 1/2 in hole in the center of the tire, on the front, towing a trailer @ 70mph, the tires did handle well,very good control, no violant shake or pull ) I thought when they finnaly wear out I would go to a more off road tire and a bigger size as these look tiny in the wheel wells, I mean even the 1/2 ton rams have 20's and up, and I know that they make tires/rims that would fit and fill the wheel wells better ,just don't know about the costs of getting a rim and tire that will handle our load range etc. I may stay with what I have:17"polished power wagon forged alum.rim and the BFGoodrich rugged trail T/A's , as they have been a great set up for all I have thrown at them even off road, they would be hard to beat, I just wish they filled up the wheel well more and when I get the leveling kit on, I'm sure I will decide then weather I can live with the "look" or not....

General Tire (OEM) were scary in the rain after 50,000 miles. Went to Michelin LTX II M&S (Mfr tread wear guarantee for 75,000 miles if you rotate every 7,500! Unheard of on an E rated truck tire) and I love 'em. Nice quiet ride, great traction in the rain and snow and ice...never even bought chains last winter.

I have the 2500 QuadCab 4x4, LB. It came with BF Goodrich 245/70R17 M&S tires. They have worked pretty good, even in the snow. I have 42200 on them and they will need to be replaced sometime soon. The most worn part: the sidewalls. I drove on some very rocky roads where the rock was sharp as glass. It cut the sidewalls something fierce. I have used Michelin tires before and had good luck.
