Are they bald on one edge or the other, or bald in the center or bald all over?

I just have a few other questions, what brand are they? What is the wear rating on them? Did they come with a tire warranty or are they a non [warranty] rated tire? Follow these links and see if they help:

Baja Claws are a 6 ply radial tire, the bias ply are the Competition Claw. (per offroaders.com tech dept article) I think the issue is more of the fronts are bald and the rears are not...that would concern me too...maybe your Jeep actually has a transverse motor/transmission and is front wheel drive....no I'm just kidding, I would check the wheel bearings making sure that there is NO extra movement in wheels. lift the front end, put your hands at 9 and 3 and check for extra movement (you'll get some from the steering) and then put your hands at 12 and 6 and check for movement, there should be none.
