Tires Goodyear or Hifly
I made it just shy of 60k. Now I have Coopers. The Good Years were way better in ice and snow.
Goodyear wrangler duratracs came on mine, I liked them for my first a/t tires. 30k right now, I feel like they could go to 50k but unfortunately there is a nail right on the line of the repairable area in one tire.
Mine lasted 49k was trying to hold off until 50k but the front right was starting to lose small pieces of rubber and had started to vibrate and was getting really loud. Got the Goodyear Workhorse AT on sale at Sam’s Club. I think they are not louder than stock
NASCAR teams sell used Goodyears, and Formula drift teams give them out too.
If you do any winter weather driving or off road, the Goodyear wrangler authority are my top pick for all terrains that wear very well, aren’t to noisy and perform very well.
Hankook tires are great I ran mine 40k but even better were Goodyear Eagles LS-2 just bought a second set of 4 after 60k. Goodyear says 70k and they probably would go 80k if rotated correctly and often.
Duratracs are hands down the most road capable snow and ice all terrains I’ve ever used. Source live in the Adirondack mountains.
Nervously eying my GY Super Sports... Guess it's time to throw the Hankook RS4 back on.
I replaced the Michelins on my Lincoln mKX with Goodyear weatheready tires. There is no comparison between the weatherready and the Michelins defender. The weatheready feels like it has a one ply sidewall when compared to the Michelin defender. The old worn out defenders ride better than the new weathereadys, buy the Michelins!
The stock Goodyear wranglers are shitty tires. I had 4 flats in 6 months with them. And ride quality/handling wasn’t great. But I’m a cheap ass and got 30k miles out of them.
I’ve only purchased Michelin for many years now. When my stock wranglers looked similar to OP’s photo, I put Michelin LTX M/S on and never worried about tires again - until this week.
70,000 miles later and the Michelins are finally at the end of their journey- going to replace them with Michelin Defender LTX since the M/S line is discontinued
