    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    If they are the Goodyear Kevlar Wranglers, and you off-road frequently then change them out asap while you can still get a good dollar from sale or trade-in.

    If you don't off-road, then no issues just drive it and keep them.

    I blew 2 of the Wranglers on the same day on one of my first off-road trips with the truck. The tires had 6K miles on them at the time as I bought the truck used and had lots of tread left.

    A used tire dealer gave me $60 apiece for the other 2 which was great, since I had no place to even keep them as I was loaded up for a 3 day fishing trip. A Kal Tire in Kamloops saved my ass as they had a set of 4 BFG KO2's in stock in my size that day, when a half dozen other dealers I called had nothing. Limping along the Coquihalla highway from Logan Lake to Kamloops at 30mph hoping the bulged tire held out. Luckily it did.

    Stupid me. I am 35+ years with 4x4's and always 10 ply E rated tires as I am frequently off-road.

    I have never blown a 10 ply tire in the sidewall while off-road, but managed to do this twice in the same day with the Wranglers. Spent a lot of money on the truck and had no money for new tires right away, but there you go. One blew a big hole in the side, the other just a huge bulge so I was able to limp out after changing the flat.

    I am now on my second set of BFG K02's and hundreds of off-road trips with lots of sharp rock and shale and no issues. The side walls are getting beat up every trip but they have proven very reliable.

    However as I said, if you don't off-road just drive them. They were very quiet tires and good in the rain and dry pavement. Off-road, nope...

    I sold mine with about 6k miles on them for $600 to help fund my awesome 265/75/16 Duratracs. I was just disappointed that they put a Kevlar "Highway Tire" on an Off Road Taco. Best move I made, as my Duratracs are also my winter tire too.

    No ragrats!
