Kevlar Goodyear tires.

what is everyone’s thoughts on these tires that come stock with the 3rd gen TRD off road’s??? I just got OR rims that came with these tires on my 2nd gen (looks sick) and the tires look really good too. But we all know looks aren’t everything.... thanks in advance

 

They are "decent" for an originally equipped truck.

 

Gotta be better than the dungflops that came on my truck

 

Yea the Dunlop’s are awful. I don’t do any off roading either. Once in a while I go on the beach.

 

Theyre pretty good tires. Save your money for other mods if you dont offroad. I just ran those tires at Hollister SVRA here in Cali and they did fine... I didnt do anything difficult but I didnt do anything easy either.

 

Yeah i got my truck with 24k on the clock, and i felt like the dunlops were down to maypop quality.. one of the first things i swapped out

 

Crazy thing is, the Dunlop’s are an expensive tire. They’re so bad tho lol. So far you guys have gotten decent mileage outta the Kevlars too??

Only problem with this is I fee like I’m constantly spending money modding my truck lol!

 

I only clocked 7k so far since I just bought my truck...with the way I drive it, I doubt they will last as long as they should though

 

Haha yea I drive pretty conservatively

 

I was very pleasantly surprised with the performance of these tires on ice and snow in the winter.
Thought I was going to be slipping and sliding everywhere. Turns out I had to work harder than I thought I would at breaking traction.

 

That’s feedback I like to hear!!

 

The stock goodyear Kevlar tires are solid. Durable and good traction. 95% of the people who complain about them either never drive more than a week on them, or are just repeating a story that sounds good to repeat “stock tires are garbage”. Yadyadayada.

There is a reason they put them on the “pros” as well, because they are good.

I replaced mine with K02s because I wanted bigger tires, but if I’m being honest with myself, the K02 are actually a performance downgrade, even including off-road! They are certainly worse in winter conditions than the stock Goodyears.

If you like their looks, it’s a win for you.

 

So road performance I used them to daily, wheeled them in snow, rock, mud and they did fine. Surprisingly fine.

However, I have shit wear, only 25000 miles and they are on their last legs and have blown two tires being able to repair one.

They are serviceable but I would never buy them

 

The stock Goodyear’s only real weak point that I have seen is in mud. The few times I’ve had my truck in mud, they left a bit to be desired. The red clay mud we have here in SWGA is a challenge for anything but a dedicated mud tire. All in all, they’re a solid A/T tire.

 

I've put 20K miles on in snow, ice, rain, and soft dirt. They're surprisingly capable for a mild all-terrain tire. They are wearing well and I expect to get 15-25K more miles out of them. My biggest complaint is that they don't look very cool or sexy. I'm yet not sure if I'll replace them with the same or not.

 

I have 4 with 34 miles on them if anybody wants a set cheap. I just didn’t like the look of them. I’m sure they are fine tires. I went with KO2’s.

 

Probably the lowest weight AT tire out there in that size at 35 lbs, so easier on the mpg.

 

Am I the only person that think these Goodyear’s suck? They aren’t good in the snow, and not so great in the rain. Tread life seems to be junk too. I have 23k and they are down to 4/32

 

That's a relief to hear. I was wondering if I should get a set of winter tires. We don't get a lot of snow in the Portland area but we do get plenty of ice.

 

Yea so far it seems like the members here are pleased for the most part with these tires.

Only thing I can think of is maybe they’re over inflated???
