I have had them on my 05 1500 since February, probably 6K miles or so because my truck wasn't getting much use.

I'm very happy with them. They have worn well and are quiet on the highway. I have had them rotated and they still kinda of slap like they need to be rotated but no visible uneven tread.

Here's a crappy photo:

Sounds like the are cupping. I would get an alignment done before it gets any worse. My tires are super quiet. Slightly stiffer than the stock Wranglers, but those are car tires so it's expected. I like to hop curbs on a regular basis and the stock wranglers scared me because of them being so thin and narrow with no rim protection like the LTZ's have.

Since I have done nothing but towing with my truck and running in 4wd, I have rotated them twice so far. I have put on roughly 5500miles on them. They are starting to show signs of wear on the outer edges from cornering and minor treadwear. I would expect to see 40kmi of abuse on these tires which is fantastic compared to many others I have used that last about 30kmi. Maybe 60kmi for a highway driver.
Regardless....They run circles around stock tires and are cheaper too.

the tires are definitely not made for off roading/ice/snow. but on road and on highway they are great. good in the rain too.

I drove in every snow storm last year. Mine were great when compared to the stockers. Sure they may not be as good as a completely aggressive tread design, but they were very good as far as I'm concerned. There's no all season tire that is good on ice.
