I have about 400 miles in them so I can't say much about wear. The tire shop had them @ 40 psi and the ride was pretty bumpy. I lowered it to 30 and its much better. I may even go to 28. There is a small amount of road noise which is expected. Very quiet for how aggressive they are though. I really like them so far. I don't drive my jeep daily. I've had it 5 yrs and just turned 49k. Hope this helps a little.

And also, if you don't mind taking one head on, i'd kinda like to see how wide those tires look on the Jeep. I had 295/70R18's on my F250 and they looked great but I was worried they might be too wide for this small of a vehicle. They may look fine I don't know. I'm just really picky about my tires lol.

I'm going to ruin your wallet. Go to youtube and search "teraflex prerunner". Then prepare to do battle with yourself cuz you are going to want to give them lots of dough. This set up is so sweet! It would also make your high speed fire roads a blast. Sorry and your welcome!
