I've got Michelin LTX A/T2 tires on my 2001 CTD. I bought them last February, and have since put about 14k on them. I had them rotated at 6k, and am having them rotated tomorrow. New, the tires have 17/32's on them. Currently, I have 2 tires that are 10/32 and 2 that are 9/32. When I bought them, Discount tire said they'd easily get 50k in their lifetime.

Now I have 2 questions.
Does this sound to you all like they are wearing way too quickly? The outside lugs are down to here they're flat all around the tire (the tread depth on those two runs of lugs is about half the depth of the middle two runs of lugs).
Also, this past weekend I picked up a stick that was about 3/4 of an inch round stuck about 3/4 of an inch into the tread at an angle. It didn't puncture the tire, but I'm worried that the tire is now compromised - especially towing 8k lbs. I bought the road hazard warranty, so they are replacing this tire for free. My issue is that the since the other tire is worn so much and I have a limited slip rear stock, that it will screw with that.
Anyone have suggestions?
