Description: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R


Goodyear's Wrangler MT/R evolved through research and development geared towards the rock crawling community, which helped Goodyear create one of the toughest all-around tires available on the market. Through patented compounds, the Wrangler MT/R holds up to serious abuse. Its aggressive tread pattern extends down onto the 3-ply sidewalls, providing excellent traction in a variety of terrains while resisting puncture from even the nastiest of razor rocks. Yet the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R radial is still well behaved on the street. It makes perfect sense that Jeep decided to make the Wrangler MT/R standard on the Jeep Rubicon. The Wrangler is available in sizes: LT245/75R16, LT285/75R16, 30x9.5R15C, 31x10.5R15C, 33x12.50R15LT, 32x11.50R15LT, 37x12.50-15 and even 40x13.50-17.

Manufacturers description of this tire:


Goodyear Wrangler MT/R


The state-of-the-art off-road tire includes a 3-ply sidewall and advanced silica compound for excellent durability and puncture resistance. While a new tread pattern provides increased element and lug stiffness and uniform tread wear.


As Tough As The Roads They Drive On.
It takes a tough tyre to master the roads in Asia. In fact, it takes a team of tyres. You see, Goodyear has developed an entire family of Wrangler tyres as unique as the roadways in Asia. Each Goodyear Wrangler is engineered with Goodyear's Trinuum Tyre Technology, offering an advanced combination of features for ultimate performance on smooth and rugged road conditions. So no matter where you drive in Asia, Goodyear has a Wrangler for you.


Built Strong To Last Long Trinuum Tyre Technology gives each Goodyear Wrangler its own unique design. They're all constructed to last long in Asian terrain. In fact, Goodyear Wranglers resist damage from jagged rocks, stones and sharp debris that may leave other tyres useless. You see, most Wranglers feature sturdy steel belts and a wrap-around shoulder design that protect the tread and sidewalls from hazardous cuts and punctures. Other characteristics of Goodyear Wranglers include a continuous center rib, a large uniform footprint, a deep tread, radial construction and additional tread on the outside shoulder. When you add all these features together, you get an entire team of durable Goodyear Wranglers that offer extended wear, long treadlife and strong performance in Asia. That means confidence on the road when riding with the name you can trust - Goodyear with Trinuum Tyre Technology.


Features:


3-ply sidewall construction and advanced silica compounds (Excellent resistance to cuts and tears)
Durawall Puncture Resistance Technology
Advanced mold shape and tread pattern

Pros: Looked good
Cons: uneven wear, loud, poor mud tire

First of all, they are loud road tires and get worse with every mile. Second, they are not wearing properly. I have rotated them every 3000 miles and they very uneven and provide a terribly bumpy ride. Third, They do not perform very well in the mud as compared to other mud tires I have had in past. After 12k miles I have had to replace them for sanity purposes. Awful tires. i will never buy this brand again.

Pros: Nearly indestructable sidewalls, great traction on dry rocks.
Cons: By far the worst M/T tire for wet, snowy or icy conditions.

For the life of me I cannot understand why Jeep chose to outfit their Rubicons with these tires. The 245/78R16 load range E MT/R's are by far the worst offroad tire I have ever owned! If you plan to tackle a trail or pavement with any form of water on them give yourself plenty of room to stop and/or to gather momemtum, carry cables or chains and some recovery gear, cause you will loose traction! Airing them down to 12 to 15 PSI helps considerably on the wet stuff but I suggest buying "free lifetime" balancing, since the OEM wheel will spin independent of the tire. Staun's internal beadlocks would solve the problem but they are pricy at over $175 ea. per wheel plus install.
The good news: The MT/R's are approaching 30,000 miles and they are wearing very well with very little chunking. I have been religiously rotating and balancing them every 3,000 miles.


Until I can afford to replace them I have resorting to chaining up in snow, ice and deep mud. I will also try having them sipped to see if it improves their grip in the wet.


If you are just looking for a tire to crawl in sharp rocks in dry conditions, this is your tire!

Pros: good looks and durable
Cons:

I have a set of 285/75R16 on my 1990 GMC K1500 and i have to say that every time that ive taken them out in the mud or in the snow I've never had any issues. The only thing that is a little bad is when give my truck to a little to much throttle when its it 2wheel i seem to get them to just sit there and spin and i have to let off the gas to regain traction and thats in dry conditions on the road and offroad. otherwise a very good tire and not very loud on the road at all

Pros: durability
Cons:

71 chev SM465,NP205,4.56s,Detroit locker- great tire for durability basically an all terrain in my world ,not a mud racer although i was able to drag my buddies 91 dodge dually,full of firewood out of 12-14" of mud slop in the rain last week. i use my truck 95% on poorly maintained mountain trails and they never leave me stuck. i can idle up 45 deg.hills of loose dirt in low no sweat.quiet enough on highway for me.tire wear- perfect,no maint. needed,had em for 4 years on rock crawlers and they havent needed any air yet. buy your tires application specific,learn how to wheel and quit f****** sniveling or find a new pasttime

Pros: none
Cons: everything

I had a set of 315/75R 16 on my F250. Did good in the dry dirt, sucked on wet roads, did fair on snow and fair in mud. I had one blowout going 75mph with a slide in camper on and pulling a trailer with my Jeep Scramber on it, not a fun ride. Had all kinds of flat tires from screws and nails.Had another one start to bulge on the side wall and decided to see if I could trade them in and have never looked back. Don't waste your money.

Pros: Very good all around tire!
Cons: A little noisy...

I got a set of 33 x 12.5 on my 2002 Wrangler Sport when I installed a 4" lift. All in all this has been a very good tire for me. Handles very well on the street and may be a little slick on wet pavement if you drive it hard. If you go the speed limit you won't have problem. Never had a flat and the ware was even. I rotated the tires Spring and Fall and I average 15K per year. I now have 40K plus on them and have 1/4" tread left. I'll change in probably late summer. Good on the trails and as a daily driver. I don't do a lot of heavy mudding. They look good but I have the itch to try something different and I'm thinking about the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ. I have no complaint about the Goodyear MTR's. Good Tire period.

Pros: look mean
Cons: wear like crap, sounds like humvee going down the road

wore uneven after 20k or so. had them rotated every 3k from day one, does not make a diff. these tires are loud and wear like crap. if you have unlimited funds and don't mind changing tires out every year, these tires are for you.

Pros: Superb
Cons: Could do with been abit wider

Had these on my toyota 4x4 for over 3 years now, they have worn very well and provide superb grip on most grounds. As a MT/R tyre road noise is very good, actually they hardly make any noise at all. Mud and snow they perform up there with the best. I cant fault these tyres, if they came just alittle wider upto 14.50" they would be perfect.
