They've only been on for about 500 miles so wear is too early to say. I too love both these and the trail grapplers. That's what I'm running on my JKU

every time I get an oil change and tire rotation, the dealer inflates them back up to nearly 40 psi... I then have to bring them back down or it rides like it's on rocks.

but at 32 psi I seem to get great wear... I rotate them at least every other oil change. but try to rotate them with every oil change.

Thanks.
Yeah when I took them to get mounted they pumped up to 60 psi. Felt like I was riding on wheel I took off my childhood bigwheel. Chalk tested them have the fronts at 28 and the back at 26.
Just want to see where everyone else running these tires are at. Most i have seen said anywhere between 30-35.
What size wheel you running?

I almost went with the ballistic jesters, but didn't want to deal with the inserts. Heard they use double sided tape. I have no patience lol how did you go about painting them?

Anyway, Ballistic makes some awesome rims. I went with their Outlaws.

I just used some adhesive promoter from Duplicolor I think.. It was clear... And then I hit them with the blue, after those dried I hit them with a matte clear coat. All spray can stuff. Let them dry for a few days.

Then painstakingly pealed and pressed each one into position after cleaning the wheel with alcohol. Even have the spare so did 5 wheels in total. I love it!! Not sure how long the tape will last. Hopefully a good while, then I will just order more inserts and replace as needed if they get lost, or re-tape.
