I just rolled over 12k. I was going to do a five-tire rotation (as I did at 6k), but I decided to forget it, as I hate the stock tires and doubt I could get 30k/five rotations out of them as I had planned on doing.

I even bought a new floor jack before making this decision, lol! Oh well, will use it later... I'll put on Revos next year hopefully!

I'm thinking the same thing basically, 15k, and only one rotation. I should do it just because. But I'm not seeing any real wear.

Agreed

It's not worth your time if you are planning to switch. In another year, I am replacing mine with some better A/T's

Thats how I was....I had every intention of keeping up on the stocks...to get alot of life out of them. I roatated and balanced when scheduled, and they wore like crap....for the last 10-15K i just kinda ignored them.....lol.

I am shocked at the wear difference from the three with 12k, and the one with 6k that was first on the back. It's clearly a difference. I think they would be okay for another 6k, but not much more. They'll need to come off by next winter. I was on a nasty snow/ ice covered road yesterday and it worried me.

I can slide my jeep around every turn when wet. The whole jeep goes side ways then the back starts to go around. Its alot of fun when i have the room to do it and no cars are around. When me and the GF are going down the road and the thing pushes and almost sends me over a hill, it hits me, the stock tires suck when they start to wear, and i need some new ones!
