I got 52K out of Toyo MT 35's on a Ford Superduty that weight just about 10K. They are awesome tires, just rotate the heck out of them to get the mileage...

My factory KM's have 23k on 'em still way over half tread.
(These damn things will not wear out.)
Prob. replace w/ 33 or 35 KM2's . Hope the KM2's wear that well too.

Are the new KM2s a softer compound than the older model? Anybody had them in ice yet? I think they look great, just worried about replacing too soon. With my penny pinching wife she'll have me rolling on bare rims before I buy a 2nd set of tires too soon.

Anyone else with Firestone MT experiences?

I don't have personal experience with the Firestone Destination M/T's; but, Tirerack gives them top ratings.

I have the Mickey Thompson MTZ's on my rig.
They start out at 20 32nds. I have 25k on them and they now have 16 32nds on then.
so, in theory, 100k is possible and still have 4 32nds on them.
So, 50k is VERY doable.
