Just checking again - anyone running Goodyear's MT (Bronco) Tire?

[Hpc3]

I haven't seen these in the 315/70/17 on a JL yet. They are attractive to me for the weight savings honestly. I don't want to add 10# a corner just to gain a tire size. TIA for any feedback.

Watching— like the weight, don’t like the lack of snow rated. On my short list.

I'm pretty much decided on them here... still waiting on my KMC wheels (that I ordered in December 2021 lol, unreal) before I commit. I live in SC so the snow rating won't affect me. I've had tons of K02s and mostly love them all but I'm really concerned adding extra wheel/tire weight will affect my 392 (standard ed). I'll update on impressions if my wheels ever arrive.

Toyo AT3 35/12.50/C at 59 lbs also on the list. My son rates his Toyo’s Very Highly, mtn snowflake and you never know. “Chains or 4WD with snow tires required”

Yeah I've heard that. No experience here. The HD truck crowd likes those as well.

I did have a set of Nitto TerraGraplers (on a WK2 Grand Cherokee) and think they are made by Toyo or vice versa. Different situation but I didn't care for those.

I should have mentioned that his are the highest load rating on his F250. But when I said I was thinking about getting them he raved about them “best tires I’ve had on it!” Mileage, performance, on and on. Just one review, but a top rated one. Don’t think Nittos are made with rubber, they must be made out of lead.?

This is the tire I'm probably going with when i put the Mopar 2" lift on this fall.
This or the same Goodyear MT that is on my willys now but in the 315/70/17

Thats really light. The rubi 33inch falken M/T weigh 62lbs each.

Yep- the GY territory are the only lighter ones I have found. 7lbs for mtn snowflake is an acceptable trade off to me. My only concern is the AT3 285/75/C is also 59 lbs. -1.5in less width,-.6in less size, both C rated doesn’t seem right, Toyo typo? Would verify before purchasing. Except everyone would quote specs-bathroom scale??? ??‍ Edit— my bathroom scale Obviously Shows Weight Way Too High, bad idea.?

Bumping this, I am considering this tire in 315/70/17 due to positive feedback on other forums and weight savings compared to other similar sized tires. Weight is between 51-52 lbs depending on where you get the spec.

Anyone running these?

 

[Hpc3]

Yup, have had them almost a year now... not magical but no complaints to speak of. They are light so... works well for my needs (90/10 road/offroad).

How's noise?

I think the K02s were slightly quieter but these are not noisy overall. Work well for highway, don't wander or anything.

I think they are WORSE at holding/throwing rocks vs BFGs so there's that. They seem to be wearing well though. No complaints to mention.

I’ve ran these on my 23 JLUR and now my 24 JLUR. Great tire. I’ve done Moab in these in my 24, as well as about 20 different trails in AZ and they don’t skip a beat. Not any louder on the freeway than the KO2s either.

Thanks for feedback. I've actually switched to these and am happy with the decision. Ride quality and noise are at least as good a factory tires if not better.
