I've had them about a year now. Haven't lost that much, although they are only a 40,000 mile tire. My dad has the bfg kos I believe, and he's had several punctured tires. I jammed several rocks into the sidewalls on the kendas and never broke one. They seem pretty quiet, but then again my jeep is noisier than the tires

I really didn't think I would like them on my Cherokee but after seeing them on there in person, no doubt I love it. I still need to test them on the highway, offroad, see if the gas mileage changes at all and how they are just around town daily driving.

I'll try and keep the thread updated with tire info. Sometime next week (hopefully) I'll put in my front locker so I'll be fully locked which might affect the tire wear some. Oh well it's a jeep I'm going to wheel it so it'll be worth it.
