On my second set of Radial Rovers. Got 68,000 on my first set. Very quiet tire with a pressure range of #30-#35. You can run them at #30 for a soft road ride,keep mine at #32 and rotate every 15,000. Run nice on the sand and great on snow.

Why do you want to change Goodyear Wranglers to another brand,I have Goodyear Wranglers RT/S 265/70 R16" I kinda like-em & hope to get alot out of them.
How many miles did you get from you'rs,did you rotate @ 3,000K,what kinda driving did you do off road,HWY,City or all of the above.


Thank's

I do tons of highway, and city. Some of my driving is on the sands of the cape. I just feel that the Goodyears are overpriced, and over rated. I like these new tires, they are much quieter, and feel like a better ride than the wranglers. I had the wranglers for 4 years and about 68,000 miles. The wranglers would have cost me about another hundred bucks in the size I wanted, and with one income, and a new baby you save where you can...

I hear you there on the income thing,we do get creative when we need to.I have 2 of my own & have a lil time to kill.......The reason Im asking is that I just bought a brandy new truck & she came w/ Goodyear Wranglers & was just courious as to why you didn't stay w/ the same,68K is pretty good in my book,but Im sure when the time come's I know i'll be doing some recon work.
Thank's & best-o- luck w/ you're Newbie.
