I just measured mine with 31,000 miles on them. The spare is brand new and measures 19/32". The other 4 measure 14/32" or 7/16", however you want to look at it. They were on a 2dr and rotated often. I think keeping them rotated is the key. I would think there is a good 20-30,000 miles left in them if they are kept rotated.

Pulled mine off at 40k and I know that had at least another 20k left in them to still have enough tread to do some mild off roading with.

I'm at 38,000 miles now, and I've got about 1/3 of the tread left, so I'm guessing that I have about another 15,000 - 20,000 miles left on them.

I am at about 32k and I even asked my dealer/off road shjop mgr how much was left and he looked at them and said "plenty". Keep in mind, I want them to be gone...then me and wife agree 35's and lift...so when shop man says they'are aok @ 32k I figure I am good probably until 50k. I do not have any measurement, but I wheel about once every 6 weeks, mostly rocks, to they have the random bites and what not, but still lots of tread. Guess they're well made tires!

Default 75k and still going strong

I STILL have the OEM Tires and Rims at 75000 Miles! Brakes are fine also....
I am thinking about how long they will last because I am ready for a lift and 35's..

And reading the forum with all those problems I say to myself that I am very lucky with the Rescue Green so far with NO ISSUES at all....Feel bad for those that are screaming on the forum about their jeeps with issues right out of the box!!

I might search for the 18" Rims by 4Whl Parts...see if I can pick them up after a swap...

only 12500 miles on mine...2 rotations so far...
measuring 17/32'' or just under...mostly road driving...

as for the above quote...
they would last longer if you rotate the spare...

My stockers have a little over 30k on them. Still have decent tread, I try to rotate them every 5k or so. I will replace them before next winter. It seems like the last couple years, they have become defective and worn out faster. I even thought I saw smoke coming from them a few times. A real mystery.

I think they are a good, long wearing tire though. They have a decent all around tread pattern, and when siped are not even too bad in the ice and snow.

i have a little over 50,000mi on mine and can easily see them making it to 60 before i'm concerned with tread depth. i'm all set up to run 35's once these die so i'm kinda excited about it but at the same time money has been tight so i'm kinda happy they're lasting as long as they are. i used to do a 5 tire rotation about every oil change but i broke one of my stock wheels a year ago so since then i've only rotated once. they have taken quite a bit of abuse, and it's quite evident when you look at them, but they've help up well considering.

I will agree with you, but I bought the jeep used with 26k on the clock and the previous owner didn't rotate in the spare so I just kept with the plan.
