I have summit mud dawgs 305/70R17's on dick cepek rims. I personally don't think I'll get more than another 10k out of them. They are wearing very fast. They were on the jeep when I bought it, I estimate they have about 8k on them now. One tire still has the sipping on it. I started rotating the spare in... I have about 3k on that tire... They are pretty noisy on the road...

I would have ordered the Falken Wild Peaks, but I wanted to stick with something close to stock size, and I didn't want to go with an E load rating. So I ended up ordering a set of Goodyear Duratracs in 265/70R17C1. Despite all calculations saying that the Duratracs should be smaller than the SR-As that my Jeep is currently wearing, they supposedly measure out to be about a quarter inch taller. I'm hoping they get here soon... 
One week from today, I'm supposed to be on the road to Colorado for the Ouray Jeep Jamboree.
