heck thats nothing, I have 70000 miles on my 2009 and I haven't even had to put fuel in it yet, dang thing just runs further than a prius on a tank of gas.

Nitto would be impressed.

I was very impressed when had 45-50k (I forget the exact #) from a set of MTZs, and a couple were slicks by then.

There's a switch you can push so your gauges aren't set to display kilometers.

To funny my brother! I was thinking the exact same thing.

To the O.P. All terrain tires are JUST AS EXPENSIVE!

I just purchased a set of 5 315/70R17 MTR K + wheels, a little over a month ago, and then one of the brand new tires committed suicide and I had to buy another (Good Year gave me 1/2 off on the replacement).

I have about 4,500 miles on them, hoping to get 55,000 running a five tire rotation. Currently I drive about 35,000 miles a year. Thankfully an upcoming career change in early February should delegate the JK to non-DD status, otherwise the cost of 5 every year and a half was going to destroy me.

I bought the Jeep in March 2009. It had around 20k miles on it when I bought it. I lifted and put the Trail Grapplers on in August of 09. It currently has 130k on it now.

I know the Mud Grapplers were balding pretty quick for some but check out the Trail Grappler thread. Guys are getting amazing mileage out of them.

Yes, I did post recently about 130k on the tires and looking to purchase a few used replacements. The total mileage on the Jeep is almost 130k and the tires have around 110k.

The back tires still have some tread left so was considering buying two used matching for the front. Didn't pull the trigger though. Used tires just doesn't feel right.

Luckily I now office from my home so it doesn't see nearly as many miles as the previous years.

Oh and not a 5 tire rotation. Just the 4 but done very often. I wish I would have continued the rotation over the past two years.
