Goodyear Wrangler Authority, The Ranger's Review

Here's mine today with ~43k miles by my calculations. They about 11/32's tread left out of the original 18/32's. One of the tires has a slow leak that I can't find, nor could the local shop.

 

Is that one with the weird wear? Do you see snow where you live?

 

They all look like that. Mine don't have weird wear like the OPs though, just uneven wear due to lift. And ya, we get a good amount of snow where I live. About 110" last year. Plus I drive north to Maine 3 hours 1 way 3 times a week where there is even more snow.

 

My tires have also been beat on pretty well. All of them have a combination of slices and gouges like so:

 

oh I was using tapatalk and it didn't let me see you were located in Massachusetts. I am looking around for tires to get before next winter and am between these and cooper discovery at3s... snow performance and tread life are huge factors

 

They are really good in the snow. I'm actually looking at getting a set of st maxx. The at3's are supposed to be good in the snow, however if snow performance is the main driver the Goodyears are severe service rated(I.e. branded with the mountain snowflake symbol), where the coopers are just regular M&S rated.

 

I measured mine yesterday and they are at 11-12/32's, or about 60% tread left after ~43k mostly highway miles back and forth to Maine, with offroading mixed in.

 

I hope you guys are happy together.

 

I have had great luck with these tires. Don't have anything bad to say about them. Mine have worn even and held up great. I have about 35k on mine and they are still a good 70%. I am not nice to my tires either so been extremely impressed. The place they have done outstanding is in the snow. I live in northern minnesota so snow and ice is always here and the past 2 winters I couldn't be any happier with the tires. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a cheaper all terrain tire preforms well. Idk if I will buy them again just because I like to change things and give others a try but very nice tire

 

sorry im late but this kind of gives you an idea, both tires that were on the front have this goofy stepping.

 

Been looking at these tires for a while and I think reading this thread is definitely making me pull the trigger real soon..the only concern is the speed rating. I'm on wally worlds website and it does say a speed rating of C...I.looked it up and it's a translation of 37mph. .wtf? Did anyone else get the C rated tire and exceed 37mph? I can't seem to find any other authoritys with a higher speed rating..

 

That's not the speed rating, that's the load rating.

 

It says..

Speed rating: C
Load Index: 12

 

It's wrong...

 

Excellent..thanks man!

 

These tires are typically a speed rating of Q, which is 99 MPH.

 

How loud are these tires? I have the duratracs now. Very load, but long lasting. Tires are on stock wheels on 12' trd. Looking at these next if they are quiter.

 

They have a hum. Probably comparable to the duratracs. Gets louder as they wear, but that's normal for any aggressive tire
