Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar Tires

Been wheeling these for around 3 months and had the opportunity to wheel em in/on most the conditions and surfaces that I will run into in these parts. Sidewalls are a bit rigid and stiff at first but a few good runs at low psi should break em in nicely. They engulf rocks well and really grip nicely. Rock, clay, gravel, and combos of such, they are excellent even when wet or snowy. Good lateral stability and traction (off chamber grip). They clean decently in the mud dependent on wheel speed obviously, but you can feel em chew and see em throw some good sized chunks. Seem ok in the sand or as good as any other mt I've had. Wet, Ice/Snow they are as good as any other mt tires I've had if not better (Mickey's, BFG's, etc.). With proper psi for my rig they handle the street quite well with responsiveness and stability, and aren't very loud, not that I give 2 **** just say en' ;) Will see what kinda millage I get out of them, 4 stars so far, if I get 30-40,000 km, will buy again and give 5 stars.

Best tires every had

I have MT/R 315-75-16 on 8" rims. I run these on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is my review of the first 5,000 miles. The 315/75/16 tire is my choice as I wanted a smoother ride off road and more ground clearance. If you go with the 315/70/17 you will sacrifice about 1" of sidewall height and therefore at least .75 in of actual ground clearance (when you figure aspect ratio and rim height). Tires are very quiet for the type of tire that they are. Noise is not bad in the vehicle at city or highway speeds Tires are very stable at the factory recommended tire pressure which is 35 pounds and when off roading I run them at either 12 or 18 pounds depending on the expected terrain. Even at the lower pressures (of course reduced speeds) the tire has virtually no slop in it driving straight, or around corners. At 12 psi the tire wraps it's self around rocks, tree stumps, pot holes etc. for excellent traction. I have done a couple hundred miles of mountain climbing in the Arizona desert with these at 12 PSI and the loose shale trails still give me no problems and the lugs have only minor cuts to them from the rocks. Of the 5,000 miles I have traveled so far about 500 miles have been off road, 3,000 miles of in town and freeway driving (regular 65 MPH but I have had these over 80 MPH with no issues), and about 1,500 miles of towing behind my motor home. Really hard to judge tire life at this point. Looks like I am down to about 16/32 to 17/32, which seems like too much as new they started with 19/32 but my gauging may be off, or the tires may wear more quickly in the first half of the tread. Bottom line very happy with these tires so far and the extra clearance that the 315/75/16 gives me on my jeep lets me laugh at big rocks, boulders, tree trunks, large pot holes, etc. (also note that I put a 4" lift on this rig with these new tires). Will update review at 10,000 miles 12-26-2015

Watch the sidewalls around tree roots and fallen branches. I've punctured 2 of the older style without Kevlar and 1 with Kevlar. 2 in one day, even! This was on trails in Big Bear, CA. I've also gotten 2 punctures from nails. I also get a nasty "Bronco death wobble" at 35MPH when the tread gets low, but this is mostly resolved by re-balancing the tires. Great daily-driver tires, long-lasting, quiet, but I'm going to try a different brand after 3 non-fixable flats.

Great tire for the price and they are not as noisy as you would think.

I bought these tires because of the Kevlar sidewalls. I airdown between 5 and 8 lbs when offroading and these tires never once slipped off the rim, the sidewalls have taken a beating and are still holding up. My Jeep is a daily driver (at least 60 miles a day) and I have put over 60,000 miles on these tires and the wear has been great. I keep tire pressure @ 26lbs and rotate every oil change.

The tires are above average, offroad. They have great grip on and offroad. The tires did wear more quickly than I thought they would. I've put about 25,000 miles on two of them. At this point, I will need to replace them pretty soon. It would have been nice to get to 30,000 miles. I don't know if my experience with them is unique or average. I haven't noticed many other people with these specific tires around here.

Best purchase on tires i've ever bought,surprisingly quite for M/T.

Quietest tire I have ever had before. Would buy again!

I bought these tires to replace my old mud tires on my Jeep. I was extremely surprised at how quiet they are!!! The ride is easy and not bouncy and I swear the grip is as good as my last set of Super Swampers! I'm EXTREMELY Pleased and will buy these again...
