Default 75k miles on my original Goodyear Wranglers, and still going.

My goal is to take them to 100k, just for kicks and giggles. Just to do it. 100k on a set of tires would be amazing. That's what you do to spice up life when you have a wife and young kids and almost no time in life for real excitement. .

And no I am not cycling he spare in to the mix.

Anyone else get more than 75k? Am I the king of this hill??!!!

It's like seeing how long you can shave with the same blade. Eventually it starts to hurt pretty bad but you keep going just to break your last record. You start incorporating shaving strategies to soften the hair, cleaning in between the blades to free up any sharp pars left on the blade, removing the blades to sharpen them and gluing them back in, etc.

No, I made it to 50K on my 07 and was happy. Thanks to this board I put another full set on for $225 by the time I bought them and sold my rims. Stock JK's can keep replacements cheap if they look in the right place.

I am too lazy to get a pic, but the tires on the rear have almost no substantial tread left and the ones swapped to the front have some tread left.

If anyone wants to sell me their stock tires I am interested. I'd keep them in the garage until I absolutely must use them.

100k here I come!!!

Mine only have 3,500 miles on them but they'll be changed probably by 15,000. I love new rubber.
