Anyone running Goodyear MTRs?

Just wondering what you think of them.  I like how they look and just wondering how they hold up?  

 

Thanks

A couple of the trucks at work have the MTRs and they have held up great.  I have heard great things about them and their performance.  A few have said they wear a little faster then the BFG Muds though, but overall they are pretty equal.  I would say get which ever one you can get a better price for. :thumb:

   I have had them since May.  I am really impresses with the wear and they are really quite for as aggressive of a tread as they are.  I get asked all the time how much they cost and how I like them.  All the people I work with say they make the truck look so much better.

I have had them on my truck for a year now and I can't say one thing bad about them and they will out pull any tire in the mud.I find them to be really quiet for an aggressive tire and they handle loads well.Please don't compare the BFG M/T to the MTR,it's not even close IMO,keep in mind that the MTR was designed for military use on the Hummer with puncture resistant sidewalls and run flat capabilities,thats why rock climbers love them too.........Gun

I am looking at possibly 285/70/R17's (i think thats the size) if i can find a set of av rims at a good price.  Probably do it in the spring.  use my bfg ats during the winter cause my stock rims are showing wear

I have never owned a set, however my next set will definately be the Goodyear MT/R in 37/12.50/17.

I've got a set of 285/74/16 MTR's on my sierra. I've had them for about 8-10,000 miles now, and would absolutely recommend them. It's time to rotate them, as the fronts are showing the slightest bit of rounding on the edges, but otherwise, they are holding up well. They are surprisingly quiet for as aggressive as they are, provided you keep them fully inflated. They love the snow and mud, and actually did very well in the sand dunes when aired way down. In my opinion, these are the the most wicked looking tire available that is practical for street use (that leaves out Swampers). Switching from an all-terrain type tire to one of these will give any truck a whole new image.

 

Obviously there is always some trade off, and I have found that they ride a bit harder than the touring car OEM firestones, not bad, just a little more truck-like. You also give up some wet pavement traction, but I live in the Seattle area, and can live with it. (the wide tread spacing actually helps prevent hydroplaning, it's the starting and stopping that are effected.)

 

Hope this helps with your decision.

I had a set of 285's on my former truck (90 GMC  k1500). Loved them   . I had about 20K on them when I traded it off for the 'hoe and they had alot of tread left. I was guessing I was going to be able to get about 40-50K out of them and I normally only get about 30-35K out of set of tires. They were also very quiet for a mud tire they were actually quieter than the Wrangler AT/S's that they replaced. In the mud and snow they were awesome they would go through about anything, the only time I did not care for them was on ice, but I learned to live with that. I would reccomend them to anyone as a good streetable mud/offroad tire.
