Goodyear MT/R's

BigTodd · October 25, 2001

If anybody is running the MT/R's, what do you think of them? I do most driving on the street, but they look WAY cool. I'd like to know how they are for noise, traction, etc.

Thanks,

Todd

I'm pretty sure that yZR2k is running them on his truck. He will probably be along to comment better then I can. Only place I have seen them is online, haven't seen a single truck with them around here. One thing I do seem to remember though, is that they are a fairly expensive tire. Somewhere around the cost of BFG's (which IMO are way overpriced), maybe higher. Not sure on that though, it may just be certain sizes.

KK is right,I am running them on my truck.

They give a much stiffer ride than the stock BFG A/T's did and they make a little noise on the road but probably not as much as you would expect from a mud tire.

They definitely aren't the cheapest tire on the market but I decided to go with them after talking with a friend who deals with tires.He said that with proper alignment along with balance and rotation,I should get around 35k out of the set.

My honest opinion,Buy them if you use your truck off road on a regular basis but if you plan on buying tires to occasionally go off road with,stick with something along the lines of the BFG A/T ko.

I'm running them on my truck also. I have 285/75/16's on 16X8 weld scorpion wheels. The ride is stiffer but they make for quite a tire. Off road performance awsome, as to be expected, and no problems on the highway either. Like mention before, allignment and rotation will make them last a lot longer.

I gottem' too! I have the 35x12.50's. and I love them. They are much quieter than the MT Bajas and handle way better on the road. The compund is a little more dense which does allow them to last a little longer than most mud tires and they wear really good,nice and even with good balancing and rotation. They are pricey, but I got mine at a good deal. $160 each. Got them during the Sears (All Goodyear's on sale) sale. I talked him down to $160 from $180. 4Wp told me they would sell them to me for over $200! Anyway, they look great and handle even better in the mud!
