goodyear mtr with kevlar
is everyone having problems with these tires or justthe minority being the loudest? can pick up a set of 4 with 5,000 miles for $300 should i jump on them or am i just asking for problems? balanceing issues? tire wear premature?
if you have your doubts, just get them and see for yourself if you like them or not. me, i so wanted to like them as they really do look way cool and the thought of coming "with kevlar" sounded so strong. unfortunately, and i really do mean "unfortuantely", they just didn't cut it for me. if you talk to guys like mel from off road evolution, someone who ran them extensively for a while and did the UA with them, you'll hear the same thing.

I have then now and love them. Going on 40,000 miles and still look pretty good. I am in Georgia so we have a lot of red clay mud the cakes tires up fast and these clean out good. Only had them in the snow and ice once and had no complaints..They are getting louder but it is not a bother..I will buy again..I am running 35/12.50/17 and it is on a daily driver and toy
Had them dynamically balanced (as you should with any large tire) and now have 24,000 on them. No issues at all. they do well in the rocks, don't do mud at all. I will buy them again, but that won't be for a while. Wearing well.
$300 for 4 with 5000 miles I think I'm take my chances with them. Don't think that's a bad deal. Their 275/70/17 that give me a cheap quick idea on how 33's will look and help me decide if I want to go bigger.

I think it is about a 50/50 split on people who like them. Personally I havent had most of the problems with mine that some have had but I still wouldnt get them again, well for 300 bucks i might haha. My complaint with them is the traction is unpredictable in the rocks. My street ride is good, they seem fine in mud and snow. Just my opinion.
