Default Whats the wear on your 35's?

Specifically looking at KM2s, Duratracs, Goodyear MT, and Fierce Attitude MT. I am definitely open to other opinions on tires. I like the them all for different reasons, but I have only had experience with 33" Duratracs. All impute welcome!

Probably has more to do with alignment specs and rotation habits, and even vehicle weight and vehicle use, than the tires themselves?

I typically go in every 3k for the free balance/rotate at discount tire, and mine tend to last far longer than I want them to. Have to wait and wait to get the new tire or new size that I want.

I have the Fierce Attitude MT for about 10K now and they look pretty new except you can see on the edges where I take them on the rocks here in Colorado trails. Now they don't chunk and my friends Goodyear MT show the exact same edge wear as he got his the same day I got mine. Happy so far.

I have the Kelly Safari TSR's made by Goodyear and they look great after almost 10,000 miles. They are an awesome tire. Much cheaper than the rest, too. My $0.02.

Fierce attitudes 30000 still have a1/4 to 1/3 of the tread. They just won't wear out lol.

I had 50k+ on my last set of 35x12.5x15 km2’s on my 08 jku running 26-28 psi. Still had plenty of tread but took a nail in the sidewall. Just replaced them all. Very happy - just wish they ran true to size

I ran 35x12.5 master craft courser m/t 50k road miles, tons of wheeling trips, rotated every 3k, abused these tires and still got amazing wear out of them.

Now running general red letter grabbers. got 5k on them with a bunch of wheeling trips and they look brand new still. We will see how long they last.
