I have a 08 sahara unlimited.
I had 50,000 miles on mine when I replaced them.
They had about quarter to a third of their tread left, but I live in serious snow country, so I don't screw around trying to save $50 of tread. I believe they have a 400 rating.
I upgraded to the bridgestone revo II which is much more quiet, I hear they better in the snow (will know for sure tomorrow...) and have a rating of 500 even though they have 1/16" less thread from the factory.
Oh, and you can get then in a 265-18 so you pick up .75 diameter (32.75 or a smidgen off a 33"). Just barely affects gearing off the line. An excellant replacement tire.
One thing I do is get a 4 wheel thurst alignment from a really good shop whenever I buy a new toy. Over the life of a vehicle, it more than pays for itself in tire life. Not some crap alignment from a tire shop/garage etc, go to a shop that does only alignments. The kind that go for perfection and not just "it's within specs".

If you take care of them at all you can get 60k easy, if you just drive them and don't keep the air checked, alignment, rotating etc you can still get 50k.
They're really good for an OE fitment tire, the Revo II's are light years ahead better too.
I work for Bridgestone, but still run my stock BFG's, I'm too cheap to change. LOL
