I have had these 325/60/20 tires on my 06 Chevy crew for 2.5 years and put around 35000 miles on them so far. I was at discount 3 days ago and still have 10/32 left and they come new with 18/32. I figure I should blow the 50k mark easily. I have rotated often and have alignment checked or aligned 1 to 2 times a year or as needed. I came across these when they were fairly new with no reviews. I wanted the Wrangler mt/r but they were not available in this size. The mt/r has been my favorites all time off road tire. Although I have not put these through the same stuff I did with the unstoppable mt/r, they are pretty awesome.. Trails, rocks, sand, water all no problem. I have driven slot of highway miles from AZ to Seattle and I don't know what these people say it drives like a boat. Well it could be when I am going that far I add a few extra pounds of air but it has never been for handling reasons...fuel mileage reasons was why I did it. All other times it is normal pressure and it rides just fine. I wanted something I trusted that looked good, then something I could get good mileage out of and be able to drive to the trails and not fear getting stuck once on them. This tire hit all of those right on the money. Here is my one bad part but in reality, it isn't bad at all. I have always purchase the road hazard from discount tire I every tire...BUT these. I went in a couple of days ago to have discount look at these after washing my truck, I noticed ozone cracks. I didn't think they would or could do anything but felt I should at least let them look. The ozone cracks are extremely minor and probably due to my truck sitting outside in the AZ sun year round. Discount called Goodyear and Goodyear said the warranty them for 4 years and told discount to pro rate them. So I will be getting a brand new set at half price after using them for 2.5 years and over 35k miles. I am pretty happy about that. Except they are on a national back order and will not be back in production until next week so it could take 3 Weeks to get them here. I think I may order a 5th one to have in case something ever does happen to one so I don't have to wait. These tires rock and I have had bfg at, bfg mud, kumho, Micheline and Wrangler mt/r as aftermarket tires in the past. I was happy with mileage out of bfg at but off road they sucked balls. I can't wait to get my new dura trac and if they still make them in another 4 or 5 years, I will order my 3rd set. Buy these, try these and you will not be disappointed.

Firestone_Destination_AT.jpg

Views: 371078

This tire has worked excellent on Packed snow, ice, gravel, light/shallow mud, street. The only place it lacked was when I have used it in deep, drifted snow. Basically where the undercarriage drags in it. Powder has not been a problem. I had over 50,000 miles on a set, but decided to put some Firestone Destination MTs on for the winter and was hoping to put the AT's back on in the spring as they had plenty of tread. Unforunately the Suburban they were on developed an alignment problem and wore the inside tread off. I most likey will put a new set on in the spring.

Nitto-Trail-Grappler-rv.jpg

I wanted an E rated tire for my Wrangler to give me more sidewall protection. I off road them on the AZ trails which are like rock razors. If I can put an edge of this tire on a rock, then I can climb it. They have great crawling traction and protection. They hold well on the outsides too. I have driven up cracks where the vehicle is grabbing the walls of the rock faces on the outside and they stick great. I routinely air them down to 12 psi and they still barely look deflated and I've never popped a bead yet. Granted I have a light vehicle (2 Door JK Wrangler). They are big and heavy compared to other off road tires, but I don't have to worry about getting home when I air them back up. (I do have a spare). I did have to upgrade the gears to handle this amount of inertia. The only downside I have discovered (I have put 4k miles on them mostly off road, or getting to trailhead)is that they start to harmonically vibrate the vehicle at about 55 through 63 mph and I've tried different PSI's. Yes they're balanced, no it's not the driveshafts, axles or transfer case. I even borrowed another wheel tire combo and the vibration went away with them. In addition, compared to other off road tires, they're stiff even when aired down. That is to say, they don't absorb as much of the rocky trail as softer off road tires. I can trailer stuff the other vehicles can't however because of my stiffer tires.

Toyo-Open-Country-MT.jpg

Views: 1938200

Been running 265/75/16's on 2008 wrangler for 2 years now, and they are a great addition to the jeep. 35000 km's on them and no sign of tread wear. Traction in all kinds of weather has been great. Lots of people bash these tires in the winter, but I've put them through 2 tough northern winters and find them great in all conditions. No tire is good on ice, but with a little bit of driver skill these tires will serve almost any purpose. Wouldn't hesitate to buy them again, or recommend them. They are a little noisy, which is to be expected, and they are a bit heavy which hits the fuel efficient around town. Again, to be expected.

I've used several different controllers over the years and this one is the only one that kept the braking consistent on assents and descents, which is good considering most of my towing in horse trailering in the rolling hills of central PA.
