I have almost 8k on them. Went about 7k before rotating them and they measured out at 60% on the rears and 80% on the fronts. So if I rotated more regularly, figure 70% across the board.
That's looking like 30k on the high end. I was hoping for 40k, but we'll see.

Most of those miles are either hunting/off road/winter driving, or pulling my 10k+ 5th wheel, so not easy miles.

Love the traction, and I'll run them again, but I'm looking for a second set of wheels and tires to run in the summer pulling the camper.
I sold the old Grand Cherokee with 25k miles on them. They still looked new.

Marko, how did you like the WK Jeep GC? I've seen 2005-2008 GC's with the Hemi engine around here for $10-12K.

I loved it. I put 100k miles on it in the 6.5 years I owned it. Replaced a water pump at 70k and tires/brakes. She treated well.

This site gave twowheelforum death, now this site dead
By the way Jeep grand Cherokees rock, my 2001 limited 4X4 4.7 bought new has 185,000 miles. Sort of hoping some thing major will fail, so I can purchase a new one.
