What is the tread life and how often does everyone rotate these? Do you rotate in the spare?

?

December will be two years with my 37x12.50x17 and I love the wear on these tires! I've probably rotated them twice with roughly 20,000 miles on them and they still are even. I have not swapped in the spare and at this point I probably won't start. I'll go outside and take some pics of them in a bit to show you the approximate wear.

Great! thanks... I just got them and put 2000 miles on. I have been driving a ton. Interested when I should expect to spend $$ on new tires.

I have 33's no lift.... I can easily fit 35 without a lift you should be fine with the two inches and 35's

I've over 30,000 miles on mine, I initially rotated them (including the spare) at 5,000 then it became 10,000 out of laziness. Now with 31,000+ miles they're showing their age, but still very useable - I figure I'll get 40,000+ out of the set - pretty good IMO for an offroad mud tire.

I had about 37K on my 33s. I rotated them around 5K. I could've kept driving them, but was ready to get 35s. I loved the tires.

Yes, no problem at all.
