Goodyear Wrangler Authority, The Ranger's Review

Thank You

 

I'm looking at these for my stock suspension 13 DCLB TRD sport.

What is the difference in the "C" and "E" load? "E" is like $30ea cheaper at my local walmart?

Any issues with 265/70R17 on stock suspension?

 

I had these before I lifted. I had no problems.


On another note, nail that I had didn't penetrate. Awesome!

 

This nail.....

 

Strange that the E is cheaper? It's usually the other way around. E load rating is heavy duty 10 ply vs C which is 6 ply. Significant weight difference with the E coming in 7-10 lbs heavier usually.

 

how would the E effect handling and gas mileage?

I thought it was strange too "E" is $147.00 a tire vs $180 for "C"

 

Truck is mainly commuter vehicle. Hunting and Fishing off road. I also have a job where I have to be in during blizzards and whatever.

 

It's a heavier tire with a stiffer sidewall. If you're not a hardcore off-roader you'll be better off with the C, but considering the E is cheaper for some weird reason you might want to jump on that.

I run the C and have stomped on them enough to know they'll hold up(for me)and my gas mileage wasn't affected by excessive tire weight.

 

My guess is it's a inventory thing. There must be a lot of E's sitting on the shelves. It's also a Walmart thing with the fluctuating prices like its a commodity or something? I jumped on mine when they were at $152/tire for 265/75/16C. That's a crazy low price for an E rated tire? As far as MPG I would say maybe 1MPG less with the E, but maybe stiffer ride too.

 

I run mine at 35 psi. Lots of room to go up in a stiff tire.

 

I'm running them at 36 front and 34 rear normally. Seems to ride good on road there. Going up to 40 or so in rear when towing and/or loaded. Adj accordingly.

 

I just got mine Friday night. Service manager at Walmart was a jerk and refused to put them on. I had to buy them at one walmart and have them installed at another. The other one did not have the tires in stock. Got them for $135 ea. $24 to mount and balance all 4.

 

Just got a set of 4 265/70r17c for $45 each. $190 out the door. They're on clearance. Would have got 5 for a full size spare but they only had 4 left.

 

What?!

That has to be a local price. I don't see it anywhere near that listed online. Curious what the DOT date code is?

 

Yeah. Dropped them off at Mr. Tire to get mounted on some FJ wheels.

 

You should go buy a lottery ticket today

 

Haha well it's not like I stumbled upon it at the store. I found the deal here:

Went to the store and had to ask them to look it up because the tires werent in the display

 

On the truck

 

Nice looking access cab! I also have these fj wheels on my 2.7 and i think they look great

 

Hey! Nice! I'm trying to keep the added weight reasonable because of the 4banger. So I just bumped the tires up to 265s. All other mods will be utlilitarian. No crazy stuff going on here
