Fwiw, I'm running 37" toyo open country on my 08 unlimited. 35k on so far and still at 17/32 tread. My old 35's had 25k when I switched to the 37's, and I sold them for 800 because they still had 19/32 of tread.
BTW, Cupping and other tire wear issues is caused by suspension problems and bad alignment. ANY tire will get these problems if the front end isn't right. Also, 90% of the time cupping is front bad or incorrect shocks.

I came off of KM2's - I liked how they performed - wear not so much.
When it came time for new shoes I went with the Toyo's O/C's, just to try something else. I love how these tires perform - traction galore... However, the are some heavy "sumzabeach's"... Load rating, tread depth and 3 ply's make these some beefy tires... As you can see in the pic's, I had tire pressure at 12lbs and hardly buldged the side walls. 8lbs is normally where I'm at for crawling and they will not slip... In fact, I'm now looking at going with some steering assist - LOL
Here's some posing pics with my buds in Sedona...

mtrs
i have them as 35s 2nd set! ( mtrs/ kevlar 37s go on next week) and the front wore down pretty good but cuz of some typical front end problems, but a buddy of mine at discount has had the 37s for quite some time and loves them and has had no problems!! .... its my ideal tire especially in michigan with the weather changes great in the snow good on the road! just from my experience!! i love um
