I have BFG KM1's and can't wait to replace them. They needed a lot of weight to balance them and still vibrate at certain speeds, they are noisy as heck too.

Hankook Dynapro AT M. Not a bad tire at all. Great in the snow and on wet asphalt and a good price.

Stock 20's still have the original tires. They suck in most cold, damp, wet situations.

New Chaos 20's have Falken Ziex S/TZ04 tires. Too early to tell about tread wear but rain grip is 100% better than the stock Goodyear HP's.

I've got 18' DC-2 wheels with Yokohama Geolander A/T-S for winter and fall duty. Only put about 1200 miles on them toward the end of the winter (got them late) but they were better in 2WD than the HP's were in 4WD.

Nitto Terra Grapplers are great tires too. Ran them on my Silverado.

Thumbs down If Goodyear ....

wanted to go out of business they should have announced it formally instead of screwing up their products. I had 60k on my 2003 and the original Goodyear Wranglers looked and felt great. I traded it for a Hemi in 2007 and the Wranglers on it sucked at 44k and the ones I bought new suck too. I have vibration issue at about 68 mph since putting them on, RIGHT they need a lot of weights to balance and they suck in the rain. I am thinking of dumping them at 20k and buying a set of Falken's or Hankook. If Goodyear wanted to f*&(^ the pooch they should formally announce it. After all they are a public company.................

Not all Wranglers suck. The HP's are good in warm dry climates.

No exactly right. New mexico is as warm and dry as it gets. They suck in sand to. And when it does rain it's like driving on ice.

On sand ? You need paddles. In the rain ? It's already been confirmed, they suck in the wet.

So, on warm dry pavement, they aren't half bad. BUT what tire isn't at least decent on warm dry pavement ? Few, my guess.

No one I know uses paddle tires on a street and off road truck.

My stock Goodyears lasted about 30k. At least in the front since the backs were Sumitomos. Now I have BFGs

Default goodyear Wrangler HP

Dude, I turn corners at 21 mph and they squeal. I have proper air pressure on the hot macadam aka asphalt roads. I can't stand them and they look like the set the 2003 came with after I had 60k miles on them. How many miles do I have on these Wrangler HPs??? 14K.......I am sick I ever bought them. You now know why I will be purchasing Yokahama's or Falkens or Hankooks. I got a right mind to mail the old HPs to Goodyear with proof of "Lack"
