Default Mileage on 35" Trail grapplers on a 2 door?

Just ordered my 35/12.50/R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers for my 2 dr jk and was wondering how many miles to expect to get out of them?

I ran into a guy driving an H3 on the trails and since we both have the Trail Graps, we started talking about them and he said that he's put 45k on his but is about to get a new set. I know there's a weight difference between a 2dr JK and a 4dr H3 but you might be able to squeeze a little more than he did if you rotate them regularly.

When you change your tires will also depend on where you use your tires. While the tires will still be fine on road, you'll want more meat on them for off road. If you can get 40,000 out of a MT tire and still be able to wheel it, your doing well, IMO.

It will be more of a daily driver for this year until about June. I am going back down to school in Florida and when I get back it will be on the trails more.
