goodyear tyres

maybe if you type in goodyear then the search will be better defined....lol

Steve,

Have run 3 sets of goodyear wranglers on GQ's and GU's. I love the MTR's, reckon they are probably one of the best on the road. I basically did round 50/50 on/offroad and managed to get around 65,000 out of a set. I didn't finish the set on the GU but did around 25,000 on em, and they had plenty left. Browny (member of this site) who bought my truck could bring you up to speed.

It's only the cost that turns some people off.

Cheers

Chris.

I've got MTRs on my trol and they are due their 40000 balance and rotation this weekend. Look good for another 20000 I reckon. Mainly onroad use as a daily driver/work vehicle. Ride is great, getting a little noisier now with wear but not unbearable. I find I have to deflate to 12-14psi on sand which I attribute to the stiff sidewall, they don't appaer to bag out like other tyres. I'd buy them again if i can get a good deal at the time.

Cant tell you, but i am getting a set of goodyear wrangler ATR fitted tomorrow to my landcruiser ute.

Good looking tyre and i got a good deal.

Does it have to be Goodyears, I had a set of Michelin LTX and at the time got them for $250 and got 152000ks but to buy a set now at $355 each I don't think is worth it to get that extra Ks so i am going to try a set of Toyo's also at $250 each, so what i'm driving at is have you give Toyo a thought,

If your running Hankooks now and got about 80000 ks out of them , why would you want to change?? Im running Hankooks on my GU and so far after 20000ks havent had a prob and still look new, also ran them on my old GQ and i also got 80000ks out of them without any probs whatsoever,some of the trips i did included th GRR and the Balladonia to Isralite Bay roads, they were still on the car when i sold it to my son , he ran them for another 6mths b4 changing them. Hope this helps .....Cheers ....DAVE

MTR's..
GREAT offroad, Fantastic onroad. They will get you further than any AT out there, but probably will be noiser than AT's if thats an issue. they arent loud by any means..

They do require balancing regularly when they get to 75% or less.

Would I buy again - I'd swap my BFG MT's tomorrow for a set (only got the BFG's at the right price cause MTR's werent available :(

G'day Steve,
I'd have to ask.....which style of tyre are you using and are you going to stick with that "style".........like, are they highway profile, all-terrain or a more aggressive muddy type? I can only assume they are either HT or AT as it is extremely unusual for anybody to get lots of miles out of MTs.
I'm a bit like Patrolman Pat, have MT/Rs with about 25000klm and they are holding up well under the constant ask to carry a minimum load of 3T.

I certainly don't reckon I'll get 60,000klm out of them, but I'm reasonably confident of getting 50,000. Having said that, I am probably going to buy 4 new ones soon (for the Patrol) and relegate to half worn ones to the camper and another off-road box trailer I recently bought. So it'll be difficult for me to really say how many klicks I really do get out of them.

Cheers mate

I run MT/R's and love them. Thicker sidewall means they'ra a tad rougher in terms of ride and can sometimes feel a bit "skitish" on the black stuff. Generally speaking just as happy with them as my old AT's. Off road, they're brilliant. Air them down and they'll go everywhere! I've only had them for about 10,000k but they don't really look like they've worn much. Plus they look great! ;-)
