Goodyear Adventure

I have a 2013 TRD sport that doesn't haul or tow. The Goodyear dealer said to go this tire in an E rating because of stronger side walls and more tread. We off road about 15% mostly rough forestry roads so the stronger tire is attractive.
Is 10 ply over kill and will it noticeably affect the ride? If anyone has tried this what tire pressure do you run?
And yes I used search.

 

E's are definitely going to ride harder but with that being said, they do have a stronger sidewall.

As far as tire pressures go, you need to do a chalk test since everyone's rigs weigh differently.

 

I've got these tires and yes the ride does become harsher. Also as heavy as they are the fuel economy will go down.

 

if you dont tow at max rating or off road hard, stick with P rated / load range c tires. Your mpg and overall ride will be MUCH better.

 

Thanx for confirming what I suspected, guess i'm more of a P than an E.

 

Off to install the Adventures tomorrow, fingers crossed they arrive with the mountain/flake.

 

I'm not sure but I thought only the LT tires for the Adventure ATs came with the ms.

 

thats what i thought.... might want to double check that you got the right tire.

 

The P's probably better anyway, I doubt you're giving up that much winter performance by using it instead of the LT, it should be the same tire after all.

 

The ms rates tires are a different rubber that stays flexible in colder weather to help with traction. Other than that yes there the same tire.

 

I live in British Columbia where the mountain/flake or carrying chains is mandatory for six months so this is the first thing I will check, the dealers ordering book shows the P tire with the flake so wish me luck. We get lots of snow and mild temperatures, therefore not as easy as cold dry snow to drive on.

 

10 ply is over kill for these trucks. It will ride rougher and it will affect your mileage a bit because of the added weight. That being said, they are use full if you wheel a lot due to the added plys making the tire much more durable. Also a lot of the most popular "mud"/ rougher tread tires in the most popular sizes unfortunately are only available in 10 ply. It's all in what you need or want. Sounds like you don't need a 10 ply, if your just running rough forestry roads than a 6 ply is all you really need.

 

Epic fail, tires arrived but no mountain/snowflake on regular Adventure tires. I have no second choice so I'll make due until someone starts manufacturing what I need or just buy chains to stay legal.

 

Ehh, Idk that it's epic fail. I reckon they'll still do pretty well come winter.

 

It's my thread and I am going to beat it to death. Dealer called back and offered Nokian Rotiva AT with the flake and $80 each for my half worn out cupped tires. I now have Finnish/Russian tires on my US/Japanese truck in Canada, ain't it great. We do much more off roading in the winter so I hope I have chosen well.
The Russian part doesn't sit well with me either since i am old enough to remember the Cold War all too well, so if you want to hate me, make sure you know where your vodka is produced.

 

Hmm. I'll have to look at those. My hunting rifle has parts from Finland and Russia, so I guess tires wouldn't be that big a stretch

Did he say what the weight was on those? I assume they're P rated.

 

Yes to P rated and found a tire weight on line of 37 pounds.

 

Wow! That's even better than the Rugged Trails. Let us know how they ride, I'm very interested.

 

Just did 350 kms with 30# air pressure. Slightly stiffer than expected but completely acceptable, very quiet and in rough parts of highway tracked perfectly and didn't follow grooves in road. So far, completely satisfied. Didn't track mileage because it's always lousy. Unless anything untoward happens next report will be about snow performance in late fall.

 

I know this is an older thread but thought I would ask how you liked the tires over the winter and how they faired whatever part of bc your in. Still stock size?
