Default Goodyear MTR Kevlar - mileage

Hey guys, this tire is my #1 right now and I'm buying in 3 weeks. I'm wondering if anyone has high miles on them yet and can comment on treadwear. Yes I searched, but did not find (feel free to point me in a direction). Thanks

Seems like Tim (Doninator) had high miles on his when we wheeled together in March. Tim?

I have got about 8-9k on mine, they are holding up very well
I do a 5 tire rotation (should do it more often than I do)
before it even starts, they are Asymmetrical, this only means there is an outboard and inboard tread (clearly marked) so they can be rotated front to back and side to side, the outboard side is always out. they are not directional (which means it has RH and LH pattern)

Much better than the KM2's. Did okay at about 16-17 psi. Still thinking about dedicated snow tires for next winter though.

The mtr guys are holding out on us! The reason I'm interested is that I have to share this awesome jeep with my wife as both of our daily drivers. I could go with Thornbirds and I wouldn't care, but I need my cake and eat it too with a solid driving, treadwearing, mudding, rock n' rolling tire to satisfy both of us.

Keep the info coming!

A local LEO I spoke with at our Trail Jam told me he just pulled his Kevlars off of his Expedition after 15K. A LEO rig obviously gets abused but he said the old MTRs got much better mileage.
