So my BFG KO's had about had it and were loud and pretty much toast. Got a lot of miles out of them, but it was time for a new set. These Nitto's feel softer and quieter, but my KO's were pretty worn. It rides really nice and no big hum. Running them at 25psi as they are overkill for a TJ. So far, I'm very happy, but time will tell. I will rotate them every 4K miles as I was told they can cup

Dot Nitto MTs are pretty tough. Great tire.

They are soft so tread erosion is a thing (if you care) if you do a lot of rocks. They get louder as you go :D

I have 9ish months on the ones I have now. I drive 2500 miles or less a year and recently did a 5 tire rotation. No way would I go 4000 miles.

Those are great tires. My son had a set on his TJR before he sold it. They balanced with very little weight. Congrats. Nothing like nu shooz day

Yeah, I could tell from my drive home they are a much softer riding tire. Very nice ride now, but time will tell how they wear. I'm going to rotate them often. Lots of tread now, but I don't think they will last as long as my BFG KO's. Damn, I hope I get more than 9K!! I drive mostly road and gravel. Not an off road vehicle unless it is snowing, so I don't get mud all over the damn place.

Yeah, not a lot of weight on mine either. Really rides nice and not very loud......so far. :)

I think you should get 20-25K out of them. Nitto makes a good tire.
