GY wrangler kevlar mileage? i know,dumb question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Ok, i know i am gonna get death threats for asking a retarded quetion like this but -

On a medium weight vehicle ( TJ ) with air lockers ( read open diff on the street ), how many road miles should i be able to expect out of the new wrangler with kevlar ?

The tire size would be 40x13.50x17.

I am ready to buy these tires in the next day or so. I AM FULLY AWARE that there are many many factors that affect tire wear. So lets assume these only go on the trail seven or eight times a year, i dont corner , accelerate or brake like a sports car. I keep them rotated and maintain vehicle alignment and balance ( if balance is possible).

AT the very most this jeep will see 12k a year. I could justify replacing these if i could get two years out of them.

If anyone has any real experience with a situation similar to this please post up.

Thanks

I barely have any miles on mine, but from what I've read, 24k should be easy. Maybe even 30k+.
