Goodyear Wrangler Authority, The Ranger's Review

You put a lot of miles on varied terrain so I'll take your reviews. These tires are on top of the list for now. Some of those pics ^ were in the fire zone huh? That was a bad one! Thanks

 

That fire zone in those pictures was the North Fire last year, the one that cooked all those cars in the Cajon Pass. The Blue Cut Fire this year burned all of the areas the North Fire missed, except it missed my house both times fortunately.

 

I think I've had mine for about a year now. They seem to be a little louder, but they don't look like they're wearing at all. I have not rotated or rebalanced since they were installed and I did my own alignment which I'm sure the toe isn't *perfect* as a machine can get it. They're holding up great though.

EDIT:I guess it's been closer to a year and a half.

 

Just ordered myself a set.

 

What size did you get? Will you need the lift installed first?

 

Nope. Ordered 265/70-17 stock was 265/65-17. If I do get the lift I will likely get new wheels and tires too.

 

I got mine installed yesterday. I love the look of them. Below 60 they don't make any noise. Above 60 they do get pretty noisy. It does not bother me. Thanks to this thread I knew what to expect. Drives my wife nuts though.

 

Nice. Post some pics. White letters out?

 

I could not bring myself to expose the white letters.

 

Has everyone found 36psi to be a good daily drive tire pressure with these tires as the OP has done? Mine are at 49 and I feel every bump.

 

49 PSI? That is way too high. Set to stock recommendations and then use the chart posted a few pages pack to adjust for temperature.

 

38 front and 34 rear for me. plenty smooth

 

I don't know why, but anything above about 32 feels rough to me. 49 would be horrible

 

One of the best reviewers on Tacomaworld! Thanks for taking your time to do these tire reviews.

I was debating between these and the Cooper AT3/P's, but I don't want the Walmart "techs" touching my truck. I have access to all the tire equipment here at work and have done my own mounting and alignments. Does Walmart have the option to have these delivered to a commercial address during purchase online, or was it paid in full and includes the install?

 

As far as I know, they will only ship them to a Walmart Tire and Lube Center. Once there, you are more than welcome to throw the tires in the back of your truck and take them somewhere else. This doesn't decrease the cost, however.

 

Looking good! yea those are my next tires. That could always change as some new rubber seems to be hitting the market lately.

 

265x75x16C Goodyear Authority on SR dark alloy oem wheels. Truck is leveled 1.5" over stock. Paid $158.00 per tire and had them mounted and balanced at dealership. I am used to Pro Comp MTs on old truck so I can't tell these are making any noise at all.

 

I'm gonna locate these online.

Discount tire tried to sell the Cooper AT3, the new Yokohama geolander AT G015's, and some Nitto terra grapplers that are similar in AT styles.

Thanks for posing the pic old man!

 

Still haven't done the first rotation. Right at 8,000 miles but still doesn't look like they're wearing much

 

Im liking these more and more... Still undecided between 265/75/r16 load C or 235/85r16 E.. Having a 2.7l weight is important... That being said does anyone know the weights of these tires or where i can get that info..?? or can i just use the Duratrac specs as reference..?
