I have almost 70k on my 08. I rotate all 5 so really it's more like 55k on each tire. I'll get another year on them then I'll try something new. Maybe duratracs.
I had those crap metal tpms stems with nuts that corroded so I've had the wheels dismounted and remounted. When we were remounting them my friend showed me that when the balancing is hard to find he rotates the tire around the wheel some and tries again. Seems not all rims are perfectly balance to begin with. Add a big tire and the problem gets multiplied.

I have BFG rubi takeoffs (2012) on my JKU. I have over 47,000 miles. Rotated twice due to irregular wear on the fronts. I have been very happy with them. Will likely get about 60-80K out of them.

I saw this complaint a lot in the raptor world, the factory bfg at's sucked, major wear in 20k or less miles, major cupping and pitting when run offroad, but the guys that are running them after market are getting a different tread compound that is harder and more resistant to cupping and chunking. in the case of the 315/70/17 and im sure other sizes also there is a speed rating of S or R, that is because of different compounds of rubber they use to make the same size tire. I believe the softer tire is the S but I could be wrong. The harder compound is a very good tire that I have seen run 60k plus miles when on the same truck the softer compound wouldn't go 25k.

I stick with nitto as well. My diesel truck down to our explorer. They never need a lot of weight, Made in USA, and get great mileage.
