I am guessing atleast 40k miles... our jeeps are very light so tire wear is not as much as say a f250. I have no clue abuot your stock crappy tires but i am guessing around 30k miles... Check out 4 wheel parts they have the best price and usually have specials on pro comps. Its like the other guy said if you get the tires and dont like them sell them... its amazing what ppl will pay for barely used tires. I would say get the xtremes tho... they are newer and would be easier to sell.

My tire shop, which sells a lot of Pro Comp, thought that the Extremes would set the traction control off more, due to the big side lugs. These guys do a lot of lifts, and know there stuff. I wanted the tires too, but then looked at Costco, and the KM2's were cheaper. I've also heard the Pro Comps have had some tread separation issues, but that guy didn't have the Extremes. They are the toughest looking tire out, post pictures after you get them.

I hav no esp issues.. unless I really throw it hard into a corner... But that is normal for a lifted jk. Plese tell me this guy is not lifting his jeep.... I hear there is another forum out there that will explain everything about the different lifts lol

Just Kidding but seriously... tire selection is not the end of the world. All the tires out now a days are good... just pick what you like.

I see how it is...picking on the new guy!

I really feel bad about all the tire posts, but just wanted to get something I would be semi satisified with first time. I do about 95% of my driving on pavement. However, since I got the jeep...i want to go on a few rides, nothing too crazy. Mostly I will be in mud, hunting and fishing.....


P.S. I will probably lift the jeep, but already know what i'm gonna do there...crazy huh?

Well keep that lift decision to yourself until it is installed lol... LAst thing you need is more confusion and second guessing in your life lol

Good luck with it all and post some pics
