I have no past experience with the UHP's, but i've heard only good things. I plan on getting a set when I look for replacements.

I at a toss myself between these and Pirelli Scorpion Zeros. I am staying with the 16" rim, so it is hard to find something wide enough to help with the 4.10s. The Pirellis are about $50 more per tire. Pirelli's 285/65/16 or UHP 275/70/16

Yeah, I forgot about that too. They ride almost as smooth as stock tires. The Yoko's I had rode rough as hell, but these are smooth, but performance feeling and sticky and they are very quiet.

Soon2B,

Bad reviews on tread life as compared to what? Of course they will not get as many miles as an all weather or M+S tire, performance based tires never do. But I can say that my yoko's only lasted me about 25000 miles and were already showing quite a bit of wear at this point in the UHP's. My UHP's still look brand new almost.
