22k here. Admittedly though, I only rotated them twice. I could have gotten another 5k out of them, but after burying my truck in mud up to the doors two weeks ago, they had to go. And whoever said Toyo M/Ts were pretty quiet was lying their ass off...these things are SILENT!

Cwissing, my Nittos were 37x13.5x18 mounted on Weld 18x10s, 4.5" backspacing. For front tire clearance, I cranked the torsion bars up by almost two inches, and trimmed the lower 5 inches off the inner fenders. No rubbing on anything unless I hit a deep rut hard while steering is at full lock.

Speaking of Weld wheels, I was surprised when I went to order a 5th for my spare that Weld had been bought by American Racing. That has temporarily grinded Weld wheel production to a halt. I had a heck of a time finding my wheel.
