So I just ordered a set of 265/70/R17 Goodyear M/T R's with Kevlar. They are going on a stock Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The only modification is a front bumper and winch. My stock tires are already bald at 25,000 miles so I had to get something under there now and I did not have the money to lift it.

Has anyone else run these tires? What are yall's opinion?

 

before the barrage start of people telling you to use the search function, i'm going to tell you politely to try to search function. top right corner. works wonders! lots of stuff on the new MT/R's.

 

in the four wheel drive mag they did a review on 5 very good brands of 33in m/t and the kelvar did the worst of the group, so its your call on that one.

 

I will have to kindly disagree with the reviewer that reviewed the tires. Maybe it was a bias or something...Idk. Whatever the cause...

They are the best tires I've ever owned. On-road and off.

We just put them on our 4 door and they are super smooth and look great. I have always liked the MTR's.

the mag did a great mud pit to test them out and they couldnt hold up to procomp m/t or the maxxis bighorn for the mud that is

 

MTR is a horrible mud tire.

But IMHO the mTR is one of the best street, dry rock, wet rock tire and all around tire.

 

i just beleave if you call it a mud terrain it should be a mud terrain, that is all im sayin

 

I could say the same thing about my KM2s, although I would probably upgrade the mud performance to mediocre!

And I think this was the gist of the mag article, if its the one I read. If your JK is a DD you will probably be very happy with the MTRs.

Besides, isn't it a little late to second guess yourself?

 

Maybe I am just the best driver in the world because my MTR w/Kevlars have worked perfectly in the mud. My dad had some Maxxis tires on his old truck and they caked faster than anything I have ever seen. He never got them to clear and he buried it to the frame.
