Wrangler Autiority AT Tires

[Stinker12100]

i had the authoritys on my truck for 30,000 miles and they make a little road noise but nothing to loud and i hav rotate them every oil change and there still around half tred. i have only been stuck once with these tires and that was from the front cross member hanging up.

Any complaints with the tire?

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.

Amen, these tires are junk. Have yet to hear a good story from actually knowing people who own them.

Saying 3/4 of GoodYear's tires are garbage is too generous. Hell, my last set, more than half tread left, all the treads were separating with the belts finally exposed on the shoulders of the tires. VERY dangerous, garbage tires.

I'm running Wrangler radials, they are meaty all terrain performance. They do awesome in mud, rain and wednesday I learned they do awesome in heavy snow. My photos are post plow unfortunately but I was one of the few vehicles not running chains in Julian, CA.

These tires are pretty sick. Personally for a good lower price A/T I do swear by the Uniroyal liberator which is what I bought for my 2wd gmc canyon and they did fine through tons of off the beaten path trails in arizona mountains and desert

i bought the warden a/t (bfg a/t tread pattern) for my girlfriends grand cherokee in 31/10.5/15 2 years ago and they are great. they have worn a little more than the bfg a/t's on my wagoneer, but hers does get driven more. i'd say after almost 20,000 miles they still look pretty new. same performance as the bfg's.

i had the goodyear authority's on my 01 s10 blazer and they were fine. after 25k they started to wear a little un-even, but that was most likely due to bad shocks and worn ball joints. now in contrast, i recommended them to my dad for his 2500hd, and they fell apart after a year. i put around 30k on mine in 3 years before i sold it and the tires still looked good.

i currently have 31/10.5/15 Definity Dakota M/T's from pep boys on my B2. they are only about 6 months old with >5k on them, but i can tell you they work really well off road, mud, sand, gravel, loose dirt, wet fields...dont know about snow yet, and since its 72 here...probably wont this year. they are a typical M/T tread, compareable to the older BFG M/T tread pattern. with the windows up and the radio on, i can barely hear the road howl at 65mph. windows down around town, they are about as loud as any other M/T, the exception being the KM2's. they are the quietest M/T i know of.

to sum up, the authority's would be fine for a light vehicle, but anything full size or definetly heavy duty, like a big diesel, i would stay away.

i have worked around tires, in tire shops, on drag strips, orv parks, ect. and my boss is a Mickey Thompson dealer as well as sponsored NHRA drag car owner. well, former owner. most tires fail due to the following: Improper allignment, psi, suspension or steering parts(ball joints, shocks, struts, tie rods, ect) being worn out, or exceeding the weight or speed rating of tires. it happens, due to those circumstances, more often than not. that being said, sometimes you just do get a bad tire. getting 4 bad tires at once is pretty rare.

hope that helps

I would not call wrangler radials meaty haha

Ummm I would.....I thought I had all terrains when I bought the truck, didnt realize what they were until further inspection a few days later. Mind you I generally run all terrains, never messed with mud terrains or anything of the sort. What I really want are nitto dune grapplers, badass tires

 

[Rose2300]

to consider treads "meaty" they should have larger tread voids and lugs than a street tire. wrnagler radials do no have large tread voids or lugs at all. They were probably just the chaepest "all terrains" you could afford (wal mart tires are usually pretty cheap, right?).

I didn't buy the tires, I bought the truck already equipped with them. My post maybe 5 posts up was pretty clear about that. It has larger tread voids and lugs than a street tire though I gotta be honest. Ha go figure had no idea they were a walmart tire. check out these reviews with most reviewers commenting on good offroad capability and aggressive tread. It is the meatiest tire I've ever seen that doesn't call itself all terrain. the treads do indeed deserve to be called meaty. Not saying that its anything like the tire in the post above mine however.

Ideally I want bfgs or nitto dune grapplers. Only problem I have is when I spend a lot of money on something I tend to break it

My 2010 I wrecked in september 2010 case in point
