Review on Goodyear Wrngler MT/R's

[Starsailor]

I have now had my MT/R's for a little over seven months and have put on over 10,000 miles on them and I am impressed on how well they have held up. \When purchasing I was still new at this and went with what the store suggested which were the 30x9.5 R 15 T which is a bit narrow but otherwise OK. My first test was to climb frustration hill in Big Bear which is a loose rock steep grad which the tire did well on. Since then even though for the most part I have a "Stocker" I have none the less put both the truck and tires through their paces.
Most of what I drive on is rock and I have yet to take a chunk out of the sidewalls even when deflating the tire down to 10 psi they still have not been damaged. As for traction on the rocks they are great though due to the ones I purchased are a bit narrow for soft stuff though I have yet to sink in the sand.
On road they are incredibly quiet and offer a decent ride fot an off road tire and have held up well after 10K of use. They are expensive but if you are looking for an all round "bullet Proof" tire then these are the ones to go with. I know for certain my next tire purchase will be another set of MT/R's

im glad to hear that ur having good luck with your tires. im thinking about getting new ones for my truck but considering i live in the backcountry of connecticut..i mean back country where there are more dirt roads than paved...but i also drive almost 50000 miles a year...im considering the pirelli's or bfg AT...i cant deciede wether to go sport or go for off road traction . how much did urs cost and do u have different than stock rims

Pemerling- You've gotta the off-road ruite! Although, I can see that 50k a year is a TON of miles. If I was you I wouldn't waste my explorer on all those miles, but instead invest in some kind of rice burner.

StarSailer- Do you recall how much you spent on your set of M/TR's? I've been looking into getting a set myself, but the price has really turned me off.

I saw these, they look like nice tires, then I was quoted the price and I thought "crap I thought Mickey Thompsons were expensive!!!" they do seem to be pretty good tires though!
