Goodyear Wrangler AT/R tyres

Ants had them on his Sorrento.

He reconed they were OK , before getting rid of the vehicle.

Doing the same thing right now, about 5000 away.

Havent used them, but I saw a set yesterday, P265/70/16.

The tyre fella compared it with a 693 and Dunlop AT2.

The ATR looked great. If the actual physical weight is a guide, the ATR should be stonger as it was noticeably heavier. It has 2 poly,2 steel,2 nylon.

This fella reckons that this is the stongest AT tyre in P construction.

I,m probably going to go BFG for the LT construction, and Cooper dont do LT in my size, but if I dont, ATR are the go.

G'day Joe,
I've recently fitted a set of the G'Year Wrangler A/T's (265/75R16) on "Speedy" 16x7 white 8-spoke rims to my GU Patrol... (original patrol rims/Bridgestones are now on campertrailer)...
Have not done enough K's yet to make a judgement, but they've seen several hundred K's of gravel (towing camper), & handled that very well indeed...
Haven't tested this aspect, but I believe the puncture-resistance is said to be quite high..
On-road feel is very good (haven't experienced any "aquaplaning" on wet tarmac, as I had with the Bridgies), not too noisy, & no problems with balance...
It remains to be seen, I guess, how well they will "wear" in the long term, but at this stage, I have no reason to regret the purchase...

Regards, Ed. C.Confucius say.....

Put a set of 285/75/16's on my 100 series about 9000 k's ago. They grip well in the mud and clear themselves well when its messy. I also reckon they are quiter on the road than BFG's. they seem to be lasting well and also appear to have a thicker sidewall than others. The only complaint I would have was that they were bloody hard to balance and one of the tyres was out of round. I also have a mate who had the same issue but that is what warrenties are for. All up a pretty good tyre for the money. I think I paid about $275 each.

Check out www.tirerack.com. It's an American site but has some interesting feedback on all types of tyres.

The new Bridgestone Dueler AT 694 (It's call a Dueler AT Revo over there) is number one at the moment. It's worth reading some of the comments from people who have bought the tyres as opposed to a review in a magazine.

I am just about to replace a set of Scorpions after 70,000 faultless k's and am thinking these new Bridgestones might be the go.

Good luck.
