I know they are available for 15 inch wheels, mine will be here on tuesday. Do you know how many miles total are on those? Just wondering how many miles to expect out of mine, thanks!

i have the elusive 17" ones that are not in stock lol. go figure. i would have to do some adding and some hard thinking about how many miles i have on my tires. i'm somewhere around 30% tread left if that helps you out at all. i bought the jeep with 16k and i just hit 40k last week.

I am about done for now but the rugged ridge half doors are on my list. The last big expense.

I'm shocked that 68% say go with the gears. I figured that there would be more ppl for the half doors seeing as they are kind of rare for the jk's .

yeah I would have to say gears, I see you have an auto I can only imagine 35's and a 6 speed suck bad enough with stock gearing

yah i'm pretty sure that i'm going to go the route of gears. as fun as it would be to have the half doors, i have to think that while those would be on, the full doors would be sitting in the garage taking up realestate. no bueno on that part.

Go with gears. Why go half doors when you can go no doors

If you don't know if you need it - it's not important enough to sink your money into. Just my 2 cents.
