What kind of mileage are you guys getting on your tires? (for those of us that drive are MM) I realize it will depend if your finger is reaching to turn off the traction control all the time. I have 20K on mine and they still look real good. I've had others tell me I'll never make it to 30K. Are there any other options besides the T/As in the factory size?

Rears (21K, 38 psi), Fronts (34K, 35 psi). OEMs all around. Both sets replaced when they were down to about 3 mm tread. I don't run 'em til they are bald. Wear across the pattern was pretty even. No center wear on the rears. No inside wear on the fronts.

The KDWS tire life seems to vary a fair amount, some people get good life out of them, others do not. Since I bought my car used I'm not sure if the tires in back were original - had 17,900 miles when I bought it. I know have 31k and the rear tires are bald.

I'm replacing them with KDW-2s, a good alternative but not all season.

There isn't much in the way of replacements that are all-season, but plenty of combo's available, some of which require widened rear rims, others do not.

See the link in my signature for more info.

Pretty soon it'll be time to browse around for updates, see if any new sizes are our there. I heard a rumor the Charger may use our rear tire size...but haven't heard much of that since then. If that were the case we'd probably see more tires in that size.

40 years from now when '03/'04 Marauders are at the Concours shows the "make it or break it" point in judging could be who actually has correct size tires in the back. :)

My sig link does point to alternatives that are very close in size.

Personally I love the BF'S I think they are a great all around tire, the original set on my car went for 35,000 but we all drive diffrent too, and it depends on the roads where you live..............

I suspect mileage may depend on type of driving. Mine is nearly all city, lots of corners and turning, stopping and starting. I expect to replace tires much more often than someone that primarily drives highway miles.
