I had the same tires on my Wrangler. I was very impressed with their on- and off-road capability, but they didn't wear well at all here in the desert. I put about 25K on them before I sold it and I wasn't expecting much more than 30 by the way they were looking. Good to know they do better in a colder climate.

Not surprised Bobbbb, The combination of soft rubber and high heat I'm sure takes them down faster. At least on my truck, regular rotation is a must too. I just checked my tread depth for grins and I have .350" left.

Sorry, just the TRD Off Road. Not the sport.

Your comments on limited slip brought back memories of a '67 Chev PU I had many years ago. It was a 2wd with limited slip differential. Boy was that interesting on ice or packed snow. The rear end would breakaway in a heart beat. Always carried underwear in the glove box.

I know that feeling.

My wife rolled my '07 Sport on the highway after the ass end washed out on some ice.

I replaced it with an '08 Sport and a set of Goodyear Silent Armors. Over the course of four years i had two instances where I hit ice and wound up in the oncoming lane (fortunately no oncoming traffic) before I could regain control.

When I replaced the Sport with an Off-Road the LSD was near the top of the reasons why I wanted to get rid of it.
