Testing: Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar
Loading...
Uploaded by jeepschool on Feb 22, 2009
Goodyear sent us a set of the new Goodyear MT/R's with Kevlar to try on about a month before the media event on 2/20/09 in Johnson Valley. We set a personal mission to try them in every imaginable surface type, for which Northern Arizona offers almost every condition possible from hot sand to icy rocks, and greasy mud to brownie batter mud. This is the G-rated synopsis of a month on those tires. Bottom line: they shed mud, sand, and snow like a prom dress; they love wet rocks, and they ride like butter on the highway, too--this tire will be hard to beat! Filmed in Sedona, Camp Verde, Morristown, and other Arizona locations. http://www.sedonajeepschool.com and http://www.barlowjeeprentals.com

@fourxxwhat Well, let's watch that IFS play in rock like an SA no matter what the tire; that ain't happening.
-

-
@csnrs1 lol that doesnt say alot for the tire. maybe what your buddies were goin threw wasnt to tuff. i run 38in super swampers and welcome people with a/ts to follow me threw the mud. Not hating on the bfg a/ts have them on my 95 2 door tahoe about 15k on them and still have all the nipples love em abd they look good.
-
@csnrs1 Yup, yup. I like the KM2's as well
-
who knows but like i said they are still good tires but i still prefer the BFG's mainly cause i need something that will last me a while tires just keep going up but like i said both bfg and cooper stt are good tires
-
Strange. I've had them for 10k and haven't noticed really any wear at all
-
I agree the cooper STT is a very good tire but wear out to fast my buddy had them for a year before he had to buy another set of tires
-

Loralee--I assume you were driving a Farabee Jeep in Moab. Just curious: What psi were you running? What trail conditions/weather? What tire size are you used to for the BFG's/old MTR's? This new tread took some getting used to--I find I use the edges and sidewalls a LOT more than on other tires--very cool, but different driving style. And I run a lower psi.
