Those are not aggressive enough in looks for my taste on a Jeep. However, I had those once on a Ford Explorer and they were amazing. I put 100,000 miles on them and they did well in the snow and rain.

I've been told that they will last for a long time. I think they're rated at about 70,000 miles. They get that mileage because they use a harder rubber than other tires. The problem is that at some point, because of the hard rubber, they loose their grip on wet roads. Did you notice that?

I found this article online, you guys may want to check it out if you're looking for a daily driver:

Most of my friends run BF Goodrich tires on their jeep. Take your time reading reviews and asking the dealer store where you are planning to purchase a set.

I got BFG K02 and they wore evenly but predictably. I think about 40k would be the max. I see many using them way past that but living in Socal that's because they have no clue about weather and its mostly dry... Most lifted trucks are dangerously low on tread.
