You obviously carry a lot of weight in your truck if you are considering 43 to 55K miles a good service life. My GMC in the OP has just under 40,000 miles on the OEM tires and they still have more than half the tread left. Maybe 5,000 of that mileage has been for heavy towing, but the remainder has been very lightly loaded.
I have I owned and driven about 6 3/4 & 1 ton trucks and 35,000 miles tops is all I get out of tires. My trucks work for a living though but are maintained top notch. They always get 5000 mile oil changes, tire rotation every other, 30,000 mile diff, tranny, teansfer case changes, ect.
Everyone else I know never gets more than 40,000 miles out of a set of tires on a truck unless its a grocery getter.
