I've done it (max inflation)

It works. I have a slow leaking left rear, so I keep up w/ it. Handles great on the hwy and ok offroad.

I wheel some, not as much as you hardcore guys, but this is my daily/only driver.

I have 56k on mine, and it's time for new ones. Oh, and I don't rotate... often. Probably would have gone to 75k if I had been more religious...

Edit - now they're at 60k and still going...

Most of my miles are city/hwy on pavement. But quite a few are on my buddies 1300 acre cattle farm in Middle Georgia...

I told myself I wouldn't lift it until I wore out the stock tires. 1000 miles and the nubs are still there. Uggg - the used 32"s don't sell for anything around here. I don't know if I can make 25K more miles.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat, and based on the numbers being thrown around, I will have waited a full 3-4 years (60-75k miles) before I will consider lift + bigger tires... on the flip side, since I'm a noob, it will force me to wheel closer to the the limits of a stock Rubi, so I'll really understand the difference if I go to 35 or higher... (and give me more time to save for lift, drive shafts, wheels, tires, etc... :P) - for now I'll be the guy that makes other folks happy they bought a winch :P

I have 35K on mine and the side walls are literally splitting open. I've kept the properly inflated, rotated, balanced, I don't hit curbs, and have only taken them off-road once (BTW, they suck off-road) and yet they have both me and my wife concerned about the road worthiness of these tires.

Luckily the 35x12.5 Goodyear DuraTrac go on this weekend
