They were E rated tires so they were heavy, thick, and stiff. Perfect for the Ram, but may be to much for the Jeep. I have not driven a Jeep with these tires.

yeah i have had my maxxis bighorns for almost 40,000 miles driving 300 miles every weekend to the lake during the summer. i was not the greatest about getting them rotated at first but now am. they would have lasted longer if i had them rotated more.

I would say the Toyo Open Country MT's. I had a set of 35s on a Ram Diesel and they lasted for over 90,000 miles. They would have lasted longer but I did not rotate them for the last 30,000 miles. I had rotated them ever 7,500 prior to that.

I had them on my last Dodge Ram 2500 Power Wagon and they are awsome.
I didn't ratate them once and they all had between 7 and 9/32ths after 45K miles. And I was hard on them (Understatement) To keep them even I would just do a few doughnuts. My brother had them on his TJ 15K miles and they never looked like they wore at all.

I had Maxxis Bighorn's on my TJ that I put 15000 miles on and they were great! Hellatious mud tire as well. I will be getting another set if they ever make them for a 17" rim. They also have slightly more tread depth most other mud tires.

Seriously. I have about 20K on my 33's... highway, mud, rocks (not alot), snow, ice, more mud... and they still have the new nobbies on them. Now on my much heavier chevy Z71, they did wear faster... but there's a difference between my 350HP chevy and my 200HP Jeep... AND my wife's heavy right foot...

You got to be kidding me 90K Miles for Toyo M/T's on a Diesel. My last set of Toyo M/T E load on my 3500 Ram Diesel lasted me 47K miles and I maybe have another 1500miles on what is left of them. I rotated every 5K miles. Mind you I do drive a lot of Forest Service roads and have it chipped up to roach the tires.....But still 90K miles...how the H.E. double hockey sticks are you doing it with all the torque????
I have been happy with the Cooper STT's 12K miles and still look new on the JK.
