Goodyear Wrangler AT/R
« on: December 16, 2007, 22:48:17 »
Have been looking at getting some new tyres soon, have looked at some Goodyear Wrangler AT/R on the web, what's the general concensus on these?
Running on 215 65 R16 Michelin 4X4 Synchrone which are factory fitted, and in general have been good tyres, I also do quite a lot of motorway miles, any other suggestions would be helpfull :D

Cheers

We had AT2's on our Freelander. They seemed good.

Goodyear Wrangler, er, no. Nothing but bad experience with Wranglers, Levi's are better!
The M/T's might be ok, but the soft carcass on the other Wranglers leands to some very odd wear patterns, BTDT.

I had 225/75/15 Wrangler AT on - the tyres were OK on road and off.

Now swapped to Insa Turbo Sahara 31/10.5/15 because using a lot more for mud.

Keeping the Wranglers for any long journeys though :lol:

May be a slight difference on the speedo but minimal,should be no problem otherwise.

I've heard they can be soft too, not good for towing or high speed.  I'd go back to Michelins if the price is right.

Hmm, if I'm honest they were a good performing tyre both on and offroad. However there was talk of carcass problems sometime back and I have to say the mention above of strange wear is borne out and i'm sure, connected.
Would I have them again?
Yes I think so as I found them very capable in all conditions, towing or at speed and cornering. They wear well and I felt they wouldn't let me down.
I have to say I might prefer to go for MTR instead given the choice...
