I would not recommend the Wranglers to anyone. I work in the TLE department and know from first hand experience that they are not a good tire. They don't last long and they have lots of defects. There are a lot better tires out there for that price. That's about what I give for my BFG's.

I like the BFG's but they are so expensive. For a 16" wheel the all terrains are almost $200 a piece and I just can't spend that much. I think there are just as good of tires out there for a lot less. I feel like the BFG's are just over priced. They are great tires but for $200? These Falkens are $130 a piece.

I haven't had too many people say good things about Goodyear. My fiance had a set of all seasons on her Infiniti G20 and they were completely bald after 10k miles. They were properly inflated and rotated 5k miles in. Goodyear wanted to hear nothing about it and said they must not have been taken care of and it wasn't their fault. Complete bull **** I know that. Just for that reason I won't put a set of Goodyear tires on any vehicle I own.

Do they at least give you a discount on tires when you need them?
