Just an update on my prior post. I now have over 155k miles on my 2013 JK Unlimited Rubicon. I just replaced the stock BF Goodrich MTs. Have had no major problems to speak of, had the heater coil go at around 80k miles. I do ~90% highway driving and drive ~ 30k a year.

#1.) Incorporating the spare into the rotations. Adding an extra tire into the rotation extends the life of all of them by 25%.
#2.) Driving mostly highway, less breaking
#3.) Driving 55 MPH on the highway, less RPMs, less heat, less wear.
#4.) Rotating the tires every 10k miles

2013 JKU just hit 114,000, no major issues. Radiator, Heater Core, Oil Cooler all replaced under MAXlife warranty 2 years ago due to casting sand issue, just replaced stuck thermostat. First 3 years was mostly highway miles, now I'm stop and go in traffic. Still my favorite vehicle ever!

205K and running strong
Not a JK but Pentastar in Wife's 2012 Grand Cherokee has 205K and is going strong. Runs like new and doesn't burn any oil. Transmission is the same. I use only synthetic oil in motor and changed trans fluid/filter at 90K and 200K. Spark plugs at 100K and 200K. We are hoping and praying to see 300K.
