You must have had a slice in the tire. This is my 2nd truck with the RTs and I've had no problems with them. But...they're not a high mileage tire.

POS tires

Rugged trails are good tires.

I got spoiled with my BFG AT/KO's and the tire dealership wanted me to try out the new Wranglers.

I had a set on my old Bronco II and they wore great!

Buckie, you made my night! In North Carolina, they're talking "conspiracy". Don't laugh or you may find yourself on the business end of a shotgun. Folks take their racing and religion seriously and seem to mix 'em both up!

My BFG RTs are doing fine

22K and still in good shape. Very even tread wear. I'll re-shoe befrore Winter as the Sierras are a beech(anti-censor spelling) when it snows. When the roads are bad the skiing is good. My Armada is a rock solid snow ride. Just put the center seat down and the skis slide right in. All equipment is warm and cozy on arrival. Haven't had it to Baja yet. Maybe in October with the old tires as less tread works better in loose sand.

Well, they're still making tires so somebody os buying them. I used to lik ethem until I realized that I'd had 3 or 4 sets (excluding the ones on the truck now) and I've never had a pair wear out of tread before getting out of round.

I thought goodyear only made square tires. LOL, That's always been my experience.

Well after putting a couple hundred miles on the GOODYEARS they are smoother and quieter than the BFG's
I am happy with the buy...

Never in my 30 years of driving have I got Goodyears that went out of round.

I'm planninig on using the same tires just as soon as they come in. They look pretty good to me. I've had very good luck with my Goodyears. I think they are much better than my Goodrich RT's.
