Wrangler Autiority AT Tires

[Stinker12100]

Ok, I know what your thinking. A Walmart tire what is this guy crazy. But I've only heard good things about them and I'm wondering if any of you guys are or have ever ran them. If so, what are your views on them as far as pro's and con's are.

Seriously? Nobody has any information on these tires?

Give it time... you can't expect replies right away, especially when this isn't in the tire review forum...

friend of mine had them on his F-150, loved them. the tread lasted like 4 or 5 years of good driving, and he had 100,000kms on them when he traded with with plenty of life left.

Go for them, let us know what you think. or go to tirerack.com and read up on them.

STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!! Just about all of the tires Walmart carries in stock are junk. Even though Goodyear is a well known company 3/4 of their tires are garbage. I worked at Discount Tire for almost 2 years, had a guy come in with a set of those on an F350 that had 8k on them and we couldn't service them because the all 4 tires were coming apart internally. Those tires cup, wear poorly and provide a bad ride according to the 6 or so people I've talked to that had them.

i drove a truck that has them. silverado 1500 4wd.. rides good. low noise.. tread life seems like to be good so far to...

as far as the cupping and junk, probably just need to make sure you rotate them and keep them at the right psi

A buddy tried them on his F250 when they first appeared. Tore up the tread (chunks were missing) then the sidewall on the front passenger bubbled. This was within 10K miles. They might be fine on a smaller lighter pickup, but I would NOT run them on something heavy with diesel torque. They just won't hold. Mind you, this was when they first came out. The quality may have improved.

Ok i know bfg's are good but what are some others

 

[4.0B2]

general grabbers. slightly lower thread life but rock on road and off. stick to rocks great!

 

[Stinker12100]

Are those the at's or the at 2's? I've read that the at's are heavy causing bad gas mileage. And to me the at 2's look a lot like the bfg all terrains.
