I agree wholeheartedly with Rob about tire rotation. I 've got 12,000 miles
on my Dak.
(thats US miles) and rotate front to back every 5,000. The Wranglers seem
to hold shape until that point and then wear seriously on the ouside edge
with a lot of feathering of the tread. I've heard the same from many others
when this thread went around before
