New 'Fierce M/T' by Goodyear

Well I finally got these things offroad and I have to say I am VERY happy with them. On the road they seem to be quiter and better than the Cooper STT and offroad they havent let me down yet. I have been in snow, mud, ice, and rocks and they have yet to let me down. In the snow and mud the grab and pull hard and clear very quickly. All in all I am super happy with them and they look good. With the black letters out you dont even notice the horrible name and barbed wire.
All in all I would happily reccomend them. I havent had it in hard core situations yet but I dont think they will be bad at all.

 

ahhhhh.....oooooooooooooo...........uuuuuuuggggg

 

Got mine!



We went on a run today. They seemed to be just fine! I ran em at 50 since install, aired down to 30 and back up to 45. I think I will ru em at 50 on road and probably drop to 20 off road. Just for the comfort.

 

50 on road and 30 offroad... depending on your terrain. I've only gone down to 25 with these because the sidewall sketches me out.

 

Okay, thanks!

 

So I was trying to find specs on these today.
I went to Goodyear, Kelly, Dunlop and searched their catalogs. I found nothing! So I ended up finding this... http://www.fiercetires.com/
Note that they have a "0" mile warranty. WTF!
Does this also mean that neither of the above mentioned makes this tire?
I'm lost! lol

 

friend had them on a chevy. he blew the right front first time off-road. 4 inch gash in the side wall. rocks are not there friend. at least they look cool lol.

 

When I emailed from the link provided on their website, the returned email address was from Kelly Tires.

 

So I finally put these through a hard session today. I aired down to 20psi for offroading, down from 45-50 psi for driving on the street. I was out doing some hill climbing/rock crawling or really sharp Arizona mining slag/rocks. A lot of wheels spin front and back climbing the hills to the top of a place called Gunsight Pass down south of Tucson. Anyone that has wheeled south Arizona knows that its probably the harshest type of rock. Super hard, super sharp, and super loose. It just tears tires up. I had the sidewalls hanging onto sharp rocks, tire spinning with the sidewall hard against a rock wall. No issues.

Then after my hill climbing I found a couple miles of dried river wash, slipped to 4-hi and proceeded to run the wash at 50-70 mph (after a slower sighting run) multiple times. I have the supercharger and that thing was on high boost the entire time, all 4 wheels spinning throwing rocks, etc. The truck never got out of control, the tires did exactly what I wanted when I wanted.

Then after that I found a few mud holes and proceeded to get myself stuck just to see how well these pulled and cleaned a thicker blackish clay type mud. NO problems at all. 2wd they dug and tried and moved slowly. 4wd dug in and launched out of the mud holes and cleared amazingly well.

I just went out and inspected/took pictures of my tires and I am shocked. Not a single torn lug, no chunks missing, and other than some small-ish surface cuts/scrapes there is nothing wrong with them. These are fairly new tires so not much experiance is out there with them and I got them for CHEAP so I didnt expect them to hold up this well. My BFG AT's showed a ton more wear with less use than these.

These pics were after the above high speed pre-running, plenty of hill climbing on crazy sharp, cragly, loose mining slag/rock, then playing in the mud.

You can see they are in perfect condition.

These are the rear tires. A TON of tire spin with these thanks to the supercharger:






FRONT TIRES:



So far I am impressed with these.

 

^^ Sounds like they're doing well for you!
How about on the street? Noisy? Wet pavement traction good or bad? etc..

 

They are less noisy then my previous Cooper STT's but noisier than my BFG TA KO's. I also lost 1-2 mpg with them over the BFG's. Wet traction isnt bad as long as I dont spin up the supercharger.

Wet traction is by far better than the stock rugged fails (which isnt saying much). I used them plenty in Washington state where it rains every day and through monsoon season down here in Tucson and have no issues with them. I have pushed them hard on wet and wet/dry roads and never felt like they would let go. So for a M/T type tire I would say that wet traction is on the good to great side.

I have yet to have them in the ice/snow but will be making some trips up into it this winter so I will update once I do.

 

it sound like these tires kick ass off the road but what about on the road. Can you feel the lugs as your turning real slow or stopping and is it noisy as well?

 

I have been told they are really noisy however I cannot really tell inside the cab.

On a second note, I have been taking mine down to 12 psi on runs. The spotters have told me that mind don't flex near as much as anybody else's. I'm not so sure the sidewall is an issue with the tires.

 

I don't think they are that noisy. They are not as quiet as my BFG T/A's but are quieter than my old cooper STT's. They don't howl at all. Probably comparable to the dura-tracs. I really can't feel the lugs much at all at a slow crawl.

On the street I run 45-50 PSI but its an e-rated tire so its good up to 85psi I think. I air down to 15-20 psi routinely and have had the side wall very distorted and being pulled by sharp rocks and they always snap back when I drop off. These things have not let me down in the wet AZ rock, wet roads, or ice passes yet. I am sure a D rated tire like the MTR or something will flex a ton more but so far I am very happy with them.

Check my recent offroading pictures in my build and you will see I put them through a lot of offloading.

 

Here is some recent abuse

^That. Was. Impressive.

 

The tires have far exceeded my expectations and everyone else's. I have put these over some REALLY sharp mining slag all over Tucson and SW AZ. These tires don't cut easily at all (see pictures above). You can hear in that video my friend josh mocking me because I had put these tires up for sale a while back then decided to keep them. I was selling them because I was planning on going up to 35's. I still am, just got delayed a while.

 

Here is a magazine write up on them:

Gets good reviews on offroaders.com

I don't know what was more impressive, climbing that hill or gripping that 100 lb rock with one tire and throwing it like it was a football.

 

Time for some lockers if you're gonna wheel like that.
