They stick better than some tires I have used, but I am going to get something else when they get worn

Same here. I can't stand the tires I have because of the ribs on the sides. After I put the tire dressing on, and wipe it off, it still splatters the crap all over the truck. If I don't wipe it off the truck fast enough, it attracks more dust and dirt.

What tires are you looking at TurboT_bird?

my two cents...

Well I've only got a 1000 miles so far on the stock Wrangler SR-A's but I have to admit I like them better than I thought I would. Went from summer conditions to winter snow and ice just fine. The road noise is minimal, the ride is smooth, I get good snow & ice traction. I don't go off road so I can't make any comments on that front. I do know they also came stock with Wrangler RT/S's that aren't as highly rated so maybe you have those?
I will say that I will likely try pirelli scorpions next just to see if they are as good as they seem to be.

I just put a set of General Grabber UHP's on my truck, and love 'em! They are great in the rain, even better on dry roads. And they are affordable. I put on 275/70-16's, which fit great and look great, and have no rubbing issues. The truck sits a little higher, which is cool, and the taller tire gives me an effective gear ratio of 3.36:1, and that really helps my highway mileage out. I drive 100 miles a day to and from work, so I need all the help I can get in the mpg department.
