Good Traction

Summary:
For 9 years I drove Jeep Wranglers with these tires on them that pulled 3 trailers transporting an average of 80 people on a boardwalk in a resort town along the Atlantic coast. We had 8 "trains" with these tires and I or my coworkers ever experienced the weak sidewall feeling. We seldom had flats but occationally had soft tires. When that happened we pumped them up and kept on going. We drove on these 8-15 hours a day. The most remarkable fact was the good traction. Even in sand on concrete they would only skip 2-3 times until they dug in and pulled the weight. These tires pulled a load the entire time. So, I just don't understand what you boys are whining about. Only when on wet roads if you take off like a race car driver then they fish tail but if you pull out with a slow start these tires are good road hugging tires.

Strengths:
They're black and round

Weaknesses:
Weak sidewalk, irregular wear pattern even with proper alignment, pressure and rotation. They're not bf goodrich all terrains

Summary:
These tires are junk! They came with a full size blazer I bought six months ago. The sidewalls are typical wrangler-flimsy. I use my truck for all purposes, it sees alot of time in the woods and the tire's performance can only be described as terrible. The best use for these tires is as swings in the backyard. I'll be replacing them with bfg all terrains, like my other truck.

Strengths:
Good Ride, not too noisy.

Weaknesses:
Durability, toughness

Summary:
These came on my Z71 Suburban. After about 50K miles and my third tread puncture, I had them replaced. The dealer said they were basically passenger car tires on a heavy, off-road vehicle. The 4 ply rating will not hold up to driving back roads and rough terrain. I would fault GM as much as Goodyear for putting these tires on a vehicle that is supposed to be for off-road use.

Replaced with American Prospectors. Tough tires but they are getting a little noisy after 20K miles.

Strengths:
Perhaps Off-road

Weaknesses:
Sidewall strength, sidewall strength, and sidewall strength. Too sloppy on-road

Summary:
First day, these tires suck. Only reason I have them is because Michelin quit making the tires I had on the truck. These will probably prove themselves more capable off road than my Michelins, but the on-road perfomance is downright sloppy. These sidewalls must be made of Jello, cause that's what it feels like you're driving on. I tow a lot and am considering putting these pieces of junk on the front just to avoid the inevitable fishtail. Poor, poor tire, shame on you Goodyear

Strengths:
Great off road or in the snow. I will never get stuck again

Weaknesses:
Road noies increased a lot compaired to my old tires.

Summary:
Great off road and snow tire. I have not had to use 4 wheel drive yet this winter. These tires have a great look. I have around 48,000 miles on these tires and they still look new. By far the best tire I have ever bought!
