Who the hell buys tires at Walmart? The fools there can barely get an oil drain plug in, and you trust them with mounting, balancing, and installing?

My "Cheap, crappy" Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmour tires are some of the best A/Ts on the market, and they really show it. They are fantastic in rain, handle and ride ver well. I cant wait to see how they do in snow this winter. And I got them $100 cheaper than you at a reputable local shop. For the price you paid, you should have got some Revos or Michelin LTX A/T 2s.

 

The best thing to do is look around first though. I got my 315/70/17 Yokohama Geolander A/T's for $177 a piece(total of 830 something including frieght and taxes). I looked at different brands and went to different places before I bought them.

 

Nice looking truck tbotello!! Perfect height.

 

How do you like those Yoko's, tbotello?
My dad has the HT's on his truck and I was wondering how you liked them on yours.
I don't need tires yet, but I've heard that there is some balancing issues with the ones I've got on it.

 

Says who, says you? Lets see some road test reports to support that claim. All I'll say about Goodyear All/Mud terrain tires, is that nobody races on them. If that doesn't say enough out them, I'm not sure what does.

General tires are getting reallll popular with the Desert crowd. They're very affordable, and work extremely well. The Red labels are a direct competitor for the BFG Baja T/A, and the AT2 is competes with the BFG AT TA/KO. I'd recommend General all day long. I've raced on them and I love them.

 

Racing isn't the whole world though. Every review I have found on them says they are good tires.

 

I'm aware of this. However, racing takes the tire to its limits and pushes it as far as it can be pushed. It's a great short term evaluation of long term longevity.

 

Your gonna reccomend general tires I had a set and would never waste a penny on them, my dad had a set last less than 20k with chunks flying off, and he didnt race the truck it towed and thats about it, between the 2 of us we got 70k out of a set of michelins and I have 12k on in my Dakota Definity M/T's(which are cheap) and they are wearing 10 times better than the General Tires.

 

I think that the reason nobody races on Goodyears is because the SilentArmours are not agressive enough, MT/Rs are better suited for rock crawling, and because Goodyear has made ****ty tires for the past 20 years and it leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths. Kinda like why some people still wont buy a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge because of their horrible QC in the past.

Yeah, says me. I drove the truck with ****ty tires and good tires, and it drives better with the good tires.

 

in the past? wait a few years and the current trucks will have problems too.
