Ryan:
You must be awfully hard on tires. I have the Wranglers on my 97 4x4 (9,000
mi.) and have been rotating them regularly.... they may be 1/4 worn.
Have another look at Sears, they sell Michelins (Sears Roadhandler) for
light trucks (LT). They're supposed to last for a long, long time. This
spring I bought a set of Sears Michelins for my wife's Sundance (120,000
mile warranty) on sale, for the price of el cheapo tires.
