Keep current or former tires on my new truck?

Yeah i know how many miles my tires have on them because i still have the receipt, the others have a warranty pamphlet in the glove box but it doesn't say anything about when they were put on ... the seem to be in pretty good shape, and i think i will go to the place where i bought my tires and see what they think about the new ones since they sold me the old ones and know about them.

Sounds like a good idea. I'm sure they have an opinion on the relative merits of the two brands, and they have nothing to gain or lose by telling you that information. When I bought new tires for my trailer, there were several brands I was considering and I remember the tire people telling me to stay away from one particular brand.

Yeah so the guys had never heard of the brand of my new trucks tires, so i went to go look at the old truck tires again, and i noticed that one of them looked like it had been overinflated and the tread was way low in the center, so i decided to keep the ones i had, the treadwear was about the same for all 4 tires(for now lol) and now i know that i need to be a better driver haha! I am fairly sure that that tire's low tread wasnt just too much air, but a little of me spinning it by trying to go too fast around corners etc... oh well, lesson learned!
