so far so good. no complaints.

had to update this. less than two years and these tires are shot! barely passed inspection this morning.

put on at 93,948 and gone at 121k. supposed to have 50k mile warranty on them. (roughly 27k on them)

missed a rotation with the vendor and they will not honor warranty. I had one done at Jeep garage and either missed one or did it myself.

FAIL.

will not buy another set.

Yea mine aren't going to last either. Only 21or 22,000 on mine. I will be extra careful this winter!
I had thought it was the condition of our roads, but if others have same problem Fail.
My neighbor got the AT 3 because he liked my Coopers maybe his will last longer.

Heard that a lot about those but people continue to say they are the best so......
time to step up :happy175:
over 47,000 on a set of Goodyear Duratracs so far and still have 10/32s of tread. They'll go another 10,000 easy
rotated every 4-5000 miles

I have never got the life out of tires. Again I drive bad roads. Other people here get 35- 40 out a 50000 mile tire But these have been good for traction just not long life. Traction is my priority, but second is miles. Would like to get more. And yes my tires are rotated.
I had a set of Dayton's on one of my trucks loved them.DD and had nice paved roads to work. I then put a set on my other truck. Tires had plenty of tread after using a couple years but No traction. A V 10 needs to get that power to the road. I went in and I was told the rubber hardens as it ages. Yet Killher had them for longer.One short bed v8 loved them one ex cab long bed hated them.
Killher was the trucks name only vehicle I named. Because the truck was killing me. Cracked leaking exhaust manifold.
Yes I'm Female.

Look at Goodyear Silent Armour's for the wife's ride.
Remember, you get what you pay for!
Cheap price = cheap tires!
Expensive price = expensive tires? :evillol:
Silent Armor's are not bad, what about BFGoodrich TA KO2?

They make GY SA in some decent sizes, was debating 265 70 16 SA vs 245 75 16 duratracs. ended up going the latter and am looking forward to snow this year.

they also make SA in 245 70 16 which is a solid unlifted choice.

bout 50 bucks more expensive then the Firestone Destination ATs which aren't snowflake rated.

Had good experience with BFG AT KO on a Suburban at work. Still not enough to put them on my KJ.
