Just curious to see what others are getting out of their stock RSAs before having to buy new meats. I'm a tad over 7k right now and have gone through approx. 50% of my usable tread.

I'll have to take a peak. I'm nearing 6K myself.

Stroke,
Can the stock rims be widened??

Yes, there are quite a few reputable shops that can do it no problem. The Ford/Chevy guys can get 1.5+" safely from an OEM forged wheel with as little as 8" initial width.

If they'd (wider rims) fit, again, I can't say for sure. I'll have to get under and take a look tomorrow.

I'm @ 13k miles and the tire tread is nearly depleted.

I'm not the original owner, so I can't say how old these tires are, but in the 6500 miles I've had it they seem to wear well.

12,500 miles and plenty of tread remains. If I were to guess, I'd say that 10-15% of the usable tread has worn.

I believe I'm a fairly aggressive driver. I find it hard to leave a stop at less than half throttle whenever traffic/road conditions permit. I really don't brake or corner that hard on the street though, and I haven't had the Jeep to a road course yet. I guess I'm not sure? I've never had RSAs before either.

I am on the throttle quite a bit, plus I corner like a madman.
