This is my 1997, running a set 265/70r16 Yoko Geolandar A/T-S. I purchased the tires @ 124K miles and I'm currently sitting @ 178K miles and they're still not worn out. They're getting close, but they've probably got another 5K in them. That was achieved with a total of 5 or 6 rotations over the life of the tires and 2 alignments.
I keep them at 32PSI (cold) day to day and they ride very well. They make almost no road noise, they balance easily, peform well in the rain/snow, and they do pretty darn well off road. The only situation they don't handle very well is mud. The tread fills up quickly and they start slipping and sliding.
I've run them over sharp rocks, roots, etc and never had any sidewall issues.
I'll be replacing them with another set when these ones wear out, except I'm going to step up the size to a 265/75r16. They're a great tire IMHO, especially for the price.
