I like my Goodyear MT/Rs, they're great on pavement and in the mud. Not sure on wear though, I haven't put many miles on them since I got the truck

 

Weak sidewall, easy to puncture, short tread life, poor handling on wet pavement, prone to cupping are most of the complaints I hear (and I'm basing this on hunting/fishing club/tourney guys I hang with - NOT ads or online reviews. Most guys do say they are pretty good in mud though, as they should be, they are one of yet another of a long list of the Toyo Open Country M/T clones out there. Problem is they don't seem to have good tread for near as long.

I personally know a guy who wore a set out in under 20k miles on a 4 door Rubicon. The bases of the lugs at the tire were actually cracking and some lugs (which were very heavily worn for the low miles) were breaking off The Goodyear dealer would NOT honor any warranty because the tires were used off-road! WTF?!?!?!?!? I guess you can't hunt if you own Goodyear, LOL...

Although with tires, there are more varying opinions than anything else. You can find one review where they perform like crap in the mud, are treacherous on wet roads and wore out in 8,000 miles and read the next review and the guy says he won a mud bog event with them, they grip like velcro in the rain and he's had them for 80,000 miles and they are still good for 80k more... (those are exaggerations, but you get my meaning)...

 

So why'd you reply to it...

 

OK let me re-phrase:

That statement is so ridiculous I'm not even going to rebut it...


Happy? LMAO...

 

^^^^ lol

I like my nitto trail grapplers, great on the roads and awesome in the mud/snow, only time they are bad is when there is a thin layer of snow on the road but i think almost every tire has that problem

 

Either Get you some FALKEN WILD PEAK A/Ts 275R20s or buy the OEM Wrangler H/T and get stuck in 1/2 inch of snow backing into your 12 degree
driveway..............Are Wranglers Crap or is it just me? No kidding there is a balance out there for snow/summer driving and mileage. I'm telling you I am getting a set of Falken Wild Peak A/Ts in an attempt to balance, economy with performance. I don't do much off roading, but we get some snow and I like driving in the woods, wet leaves, dirt, mud etc.........Wranglers geez I swear we got horn swaggled when we took delivery of the trucks. We should be given an option on what tires when we spend "37 LARGE"

All depends on the type of driving u do. If your driving on some muddy trails and alot of hwy a good a/t will do ya good. Or even a toyo m-55. If ya do some 4x4 and deep snow I just started running Hankook dynapro m/t so far pretty impressed. But I wouldn't choose that tire for real deep mud it just doesnt have the tread for it, but then again that tread is why its still good on ice and snow unlike most m/t.

Alot of guys up here with their lifted diesels swear by nittos if that helps at all.

 

Thanks for the info and opinions everyone...I'm in the same boat (of having to buy new shoes soon).
