Default Goodyear Wrangler HP's

Curious to hear your thoughts on these tires. I have read negative things about the tire, and they were oem on my new '06 Ram QC Hemi. I contacted Goodyear to have them changed due to issues with traction and tread wear in only 1400 miles. They could not offer me anything but a new set because they only offer one model in 275/60/20.

They suckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I think EVERYONE will agree... I only managed 20,000 out of mine... Others had all 4 flat before 30,000... Read reviews on the internet, these tires only get like 2/5 stars... They are horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible...

I suggest either;

Hankook Ventus RH06 (275/55/R20)
-or-
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A (285/55/R20)

Reasonable priced/high performance tires.

Depends on what the weather conditions are in your area...

yah deffinitly not a fan of the Goodyear Wrangler HP's....i barely got 23K on em...i have Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus on my truck...there an all-season sport truck tire that work wonderful in rain. I have 295/45/R20 on my truck and just love them. but it'll depend on where u live, i have the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo's on my '94 ram and they kick ***...just my $.02 worth

my dad has 45k on his and i have 33k on mine. they are alittle too easy to break traction with in the rain even with a 4.7 and big heavy 20s but if you just let off once you start spinning then youll be fine or just learn how to be gentler on the throttle. took me a while to get that concpet down that sometimes you just cant floor it from a redlight but if its raining i generally just baby it when taking off from a stop. i dont have a problem with them and when it comes time to buy new tires ill problly buy another set from the dealer because im only 16 years old and dont have that much to spend on tires. i mean i could afford it but itd deal a serious blow to my bank account.
