This is the tyre that comes out as an OE ( standard) on South African and other (export) spec JK Rubi's.
I have done a search on them, but I would like to know what you ( if you have them on in 255/75 17) think of them as an all terrain tyre.
I do know that tyres are always a compromise and that one type of tyre is not going to be able to do all that we need.
My normal off-road tyre choice would be the Good Year MTR or the BF Goodrige MT for heavy bush driving .
My new Rubi JK will be used as a daily dive, on good roads most of the time but it will also have to do duty on bad 4x4 tracks ( it's my job) at least two times a week.
So if you use them, I would like to hear what you think?

If these are the goodyear SR-A's, I have not had good experiences. They are not good in the mud or the snow. The wear is poor, and I am having hydroplaning issues at only 15,000 miles. If you are looking for offroad traction there is way better options.

 

They are not the SR-As. I had the Silent Armor 265/75 16 on for about 6000 miles and liked them pretty good. They did great on the road with little noise and did ok on rocks. I have since went bigger and a different tread pattern.

 

I had then on my Cherokee. They were much quieter than my BFG's and traction was acceptable. I did notice about a 15% drop in fuel mileage as soon as I put them on. Others have reported the same.

 

I have them and use 'em both on and off-road. They aren't the best in mud, but I see you're getting a Rubicon. I never had problems that the lockers of my Rubi couldn't solve

 

I had these in 285/75/16 on my Toyota Tacoma and really liked them. They wore like iron and were very quiet. I never had any balancing issues and the ride was smooth as glass. I never took them through the mud but off road they did everything I needed them to with trails and rocks. They are expensive though.

 

I currently have these on my wife's Suburban and they have proved to be very reliable tires. Going on 25k+ miles and still have 60% tread left. Good life, quiet on the road and great in rain and loose gravel. Haven't tested them off-road since the Suburban is usually our highway-driving vehicle for long trips. They have stiffer sidewalls than the OE Bridgestones, but it's not as noticeable on the Suburban since it's such a heavy vehicle.

From the tread pattern and how well they handle on the pavement, I would say calling them an all-terrain tire is a stretch. I don't quite think they are as capable an all-terrain tire as say the BFGs, Toyos or Pro-Comps. I think these tires were desinged for the pavement-only SUV market, not for the occassional off-road market such as other AT tires from BFG, Pro-Comp, Toyo and others.

 

Thanks guys, that's exactly the feed back I was looking for.

I know that they are not going to be the best for off-road driving but would I be correct in saying that they are quiet , smooth and give good on road mileage. I have heard that that they are also tough and give good traction on gravel and wet tar roads , your comments seem to to confirm this.

I think I might keep them on and see how they work as a 7 day a week tyre.
I do have a few sets of HD boots in my garage, and if I need to I could slap them on if need to.
Looks like the Silent Armor could be a good all rounder then.
Please keep the comments coming and I will add mine when I can.

 

This is correct.

 

Living in Scotland the Wrangler A/T 255/75 r 17 tyres are as supplied.Much quieter than the BFG M/T on the highway( I have a set of these also).Wrangler AT good off road ,Scotland is very muddy and plenty of snow.The lockers and 4WD have not got me stuck yet.I use the Rubicon on hunting trips so do use it off road.Incidentally the tyres are manufactured in Canada so should be obtainable in US.The only drawback is not enough clearance for snow chains.
