How many miles on the OEM tires?

[rxraptor02]

Hi folks,

I just wanted to see what the everyone has gotten on the OEM tires.

I have the wrangler SR-A's. Mileage to date is 84k and some change, by next weekend I will be at 85k.

I am still on the orginal tires.

Thanks,
James

My SR-A's lasted 3 miles.

Your playing with your safety with that many miles on those tires.

TJKJ2002,


I dont see what the issue would be with the tires. I have no dry rot and they are not to the wear bars.

I have never had issues with wet/snow conditions and they are not wearing differently.


I know they are not the best tires, but come spring I will be replacing them.

I had the OEM Goodyear HP's. We get a lot of snow and ice here and they slipped around a lot even in full-time and going real easy on the gas.. They were really only good on dry pavement. After 2 punctures and having to be pulled out of the mud I had enough. Off they came at 15,000 miles.

Your SRA's are probably better than my HP's were.

The only thing those are good for are brake stands, tire swings (Even then I wouldn't trust my child in one of those due to lack of traction in holding the kid in!) and as a fender for a boat or Turkesh head on the front of a Tug boat.
A condom has more traction than that crap.

You mean Kilometers. Granted mine had the Wrangler ST's but still 84K on any tire is remarkable.

Wow.... WOW

I thought I did well when I got 48k out of mine. I did off-road in mine, though. You do any off-roading in yours?

My SR-A's lasted 3 miles.

Dealership is three miles from your house?

Nope that was how many miles it had on it when pulled from the transport truck.My KJ never left the dealership with the SR-A's on.

All my driving is on the highway or state routes with little to no stops.

Man, that still seems high. I mean, I could see pushing it to 65k if you really had all highway driving, on good roads, and you kept your tires perrrrrfectly inflated and your alignment checked regularly. But yowza. 84k? Frankly, I don't see how you do it.

It's not possible on OEM SR-A's,they are designed to wear fast and 80,000 miles on any non-commercial tire is virtually impossible.

I honestly have 84k on the orginal tires. I am a project manager for a health care company and I cover the northern half of Indiana. All I do is drive highway and state routes. So my starting and stoping is limited. The speed limits are between 55 and 65mph. I keep my tires rotated every 6k miles and inflated correctly and balanced. I am getting close to the wear bars but I am not to them yet.

My Durango had SRA's on it, it was a decent tire. Fine in the rain, good fuel economy. I got 38k out of mine. I had HP's on KJ and got 35k out of them, mainly highway miles.

 

[indieaz]

Mine were wasted at 27k miles, they were also the SR-A's.

I got 68k from my SRAs, and I thought they were a good dry and/or snow-and-slush tire, but I was never happy with them in rain or wet pavement. Always seemed I could spin one (rear) or the other without careful application of the happy pedal. But I was very content to get nearly 70,000 miles from a factory-equipped tire. No sense replacing what ain't broke, in my opinion.

Made a lot of trips into the woods camping and slogged along some muddy trails and treelines, but never got stuck.

4 of 5 stars, in my opinion.

I got a little over 60k on my wifes SR-A's, it is about ready for a change. Good thing I have my spare set of oem wheels and SR-A tires from my jeep with only 3k on them to swap out. I will do that after the summer.

I had 1/2 tread with my SRA's at 63K. They wear great up in less than good conditions or higher speeds they're kinda scary considered to nice tires

Yeah, you would probably have more traction running blown up condoms on your rims....

I had 40 scary thousand miles on my Wrangler HP. Keep in mind, they are supposed to be far better than any other crap they did put on Jeeps in 2003. I still remember sideways slides on ramps and curves, and hops on wet roads.. It drove like on ice when it got a little wet outside.
