Funny this thread came up today, I just replaced two of mine 10/05/11 35x12.50x17. I bought 5 two years ago, put 55,500 on them. In the two years they went on several wheeling trips, I live in the country and work in the city, so in the country they see gravel roads and pastures, daily commute to work is 76 miles round trip 70 miles of that is hwy. I have them rotated and balance around 6 to 8,000 miles and I am a semi aggresive dirver, a lot of people think a lifted Jeep can't corner. If you watch your wear patterns and keep them inflated and rotated you should easily see 50,000. On my jeep they cup if left on the front to long and the rear seem to wear down evenly but quicker them the front. The reason I only replaced two is wear patterns I have about 3 to 5,000 left on two of them that I want to get before I replace them. Good all around traction as well.

I have been nervous about pushing it too hard in the courners, never had a lifted vehicle before I bought this one a month ago. How much did you give for two tires? I found some at treaddepo.com for $309 each but shipping for 4 was $140.
