Default How many miles are you getting?

I am running 33x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ at 38psi on a 5 tire rotation. Others with this tire how many miles did you get out of them or how many miles do you have and how do they look.

what pressure
what tread depth
type of driving
etc...

I am running the same tire except they are 35's. I do a 5 tire rotation. I have put about 20,000 miles on them. Very little tread wear. I only drive 6 miles back and forth to work on side roads though. For long trips, where we don't need the jeep, we take my wife's honda accord. My gas mileage sucks....maybe getting 14-15 mpg....hard to tell though because the speedo and odometer are slightly off due to the larger tire size. Hope that answered your questions.
