True! I am coming from a CanAm X3 rock crawler which I sold to buy the JK. That X3 was driven a lot harder that the JK could ever be. The X3 never had a tire issue. Both vehicles are being used in the same areas east of Florence, Arizona. So, I went from zero tire issues to what seems like rampant tire problems. The Jeep is not being driven hard at all, that is not the nature of the vehicle. I just did not expect to have so many flat tires.

The JK weight is a big reason why.

Based on use I think, go with more ply if surrounded by sharp jagged rocks all the time, other than that, slow down and pick a better line with less ply tires

I've got BFG M/T 285/75R17 (34) on mine now. Since, I drive county roads and no off-roading, I wish now that I had gotten the BFG A/T (KO2).
I have them on my trucks and a much better ride.
I have a 2016 Unlimited Rubicon with 6000 original miles so it will be a while before I can get new shoes.
