what do u think about Goodyear Wrangler tires?
i saw 5
GOOD YEAR WRANGLER MT/R tires for sale. 2 new, and 3 w/ less than 200 miles on them all for $500!!! they are 35x12.5x15. just wanted to see what you guys thought of these tires. i was going to get BFG M/T for like $750 new, mounted, and balanced. but if these are good, i may go with these. wat do u guys think? i kno calrockx just got these and he likes em. :) http://www.4wheelparts.com/images/WrangMTR.gif |
???
I thought the jury was already in on these. ;) That is one heck of a deal. |
yea, general opinion is that they are one of the top 3 tires going. Boggers are at the top of the list, then there is some debate about what's next, but the MTRs are great tires - far better than the BFGs. For the price, you'd be silly not to take them.

sweet. maybe ill pick them up. :) but man, have u seen the new :)[URL=http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2.asp?imseqn=1864&occlass=BFGO&cat=TIR]BFG MT KM?[/URL? they look sweet ] http://www.4wheelparts.com/images/bfgmtkm.gif
but ill prob get the goodyears :) thanks! |
I'm in agreement with the those guys. That's a killer deal. Jump on it!!!

The KM's came out in 2000 I think and the MT/R's in 1999, or something like that. I was debating between these 2 last year, but there far more excellent reviews of the MT/R and just more in general on the net. It is a no-brainer if it comes down to these 2 tires.
Edit: This is not to say that the KM's are not a good tire though as that's not the case. I just think the general consensus of the 4-wheeling world is that the MT/R's are in another league. I myself can't say one way or another. I'm just going by real world results from what I've read FWIW. Looks like you just found yourself a new set of shoes! |

Its hard to beat Goodyear MT/R's, sounds like a great deal. We run them on some rock crawlers and daily drivers. Hard to beat

A buddy of mine has the MT/R's in that size (35/12.50/15) on his early model Bronco. They are really quiet on the highway, and perform great in the mud. I haven't ridden in a vehicle with the new BFG's but have heard nothing but good things about them as well. For the price, I'd jump all over the MT/R's.

i wanna get them! but wat do u guys think about warranty and road hazard warranty?
BIG-O MTs or BIG-O XT they have a unlimited warranty or from like 4wheelparts wholesalers they have a road hazard warranty for 10% of the tire cost. im just paranoid like that. hahha even if i got them, i wouldnt mount them right away. i'd finish using up my bfg AT and wait while i save for new rims too. :) now i just have to shell out $500. |
On warantee, Big O is the best. Any Big O is replaced for free by any Big O store for free.
My old tires were BFG ATs and I was happy with them. They had good grip, good longevity, good pavement mannors, and stuff. But there is no warantee available. Then price went up VERY HIGH and I decided to look at other options. Enter the Goodyears. Goodyear MT/Rs have warantees available for $20 per tire, but I doubt they will ever be needed. I have never seen such thick and indestructable sidewalls as the MT/Rs have. What is better, no warantee and not needing it, or the best warantee and having to use it frequently? I vote for Goodyear MTRs without the $20 per tire warantee. They have great traction in mud, rocks, muddy rocks, deep sand, snow, gravel, snowy rocks, snowy muddy rocks, icy muddy snowy gravely rocks etc. Then at high pressure (Highway and street) they are very quiet and smooth if properly balanced. IMHO GY Wrangler MTRs are the only serious choice. |
Originally posted by joshik 4wheelparts wholesalers they have a road hazard warranty for 10% of the tire cost. im just paranoid like that. hahha I am too. that is where I got my tires and with the unlimited road hazard waranty and lifetime balance. right now they are offering $100 off for a set of BFG's, that's one reason I chose the BFG over the Goodyears. the second reason was I was afraid they would be a bit wider and taller than the bfg's and would rub, the last reason is that I am going to try goodyears the next time I buy a set so now or later I would still give them a shot. personally I like them both the same. I have to agree with the guy that was remarking about the sidewalls too. very rugged tires. I think whether you go with the goodyears or the beefy-g's you will be making a great choice regardless. for the record, I got 60k+ out of my BFG A/T's and they still had over the "Abe's head" of tread left when I got the new M/T's, it's just that running after I installed the SAW's and not getting an alignment killed the inside edge of the tread, not to mentioned Discount Tires couldn't balance them correctly, my advice: don't use Discount Tires. My opinion is only my opinion. |
imma take go take a look at the Wrangler, you guys have convinced me. BUT! i just found out that my gf's uncle owns a tire shop in Los Angeles! NOW SHE TELLS ME! :)
so imma see how much i can get new tires (WRANGLER MTR) for! YEAII! ;) thanks for all ur inputs though! my eyes have been opened! before, it was " oooooh, bfg's ... good.... oooh procomp xterrains... GOOD... " but now, i know that goodyears are great too! and i want those now! :) |

they also don't balance lug centric alloys with the haweka adapter either. that is why mine were so out-a-whack! they just spin 'em up and mount 'em back on.

BTW, I have heard nothing but great things about both the MT/Rs and the BFG MTs. My next set of shoes will probably be the MT/Rs. |
[i] they tell me $850! i tell them i found them at another place for $720, and they scoffed at that, saying there's NO WAY i'll find them for less than $775. i really should stop by there sometime and mention how i got them out the door for $700 afterall. [/B] WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM FOR $700 |
