I have an 04 tj that I have been running 31x10.50x15's for @ 5 years now and have not had an issue with them. If you notice you are wearing out the center part of the tire it means the tires are overinflated. My last set of tires was the bfg a/t and I got 60k miles out of them and still had 6/32 of tread left. Happy trails and try to keep the rubber side down.

Will work fine. Just make sure you run the correct tire pressure, not necessarily what's printed on the sidewall.

you'll have no problem with them. being a tire mechanic, you know about the chalk line trick across the tire to set the correct pressure.
