I saw these tires at Walmart a few months ago and they looked good. What turned me off about them: 1) they are a tire make exclusively for walmart and big box stores...so the quality cannot be vouched for 2) the price was nuts. walmart here wanted $150 each for them, and for that price I can get on tirerack.com and pick from multiple tires that DO have quality and a good track record.

Ok, there is a third thing too. 3) It says Goodyear on the tire.

Yes, you are right about tires from Tire Rack. I was going to get BFG at about 637, I think. Well, over 100 for them to be shipped and all the shops I called around here wanted 25 a tire to mount. So after tax, I was looking at over 900. The General grabber tires are out of stock, but for the most part have good reviews and they are from W mart. I found a few reviews on the goodyears and they were good, but not very many reviews. So, in order for this tire to get a good or bad track record, we need people to do reviews on them and I hope this helps someone make a decision based on facts not just because its a tire from walmart or has goodyear on it, well ok, I guess goodyear is some what on the bad list for a lot of people, LOL.

I love My Goodyear MTR'S one tough tire. Although I only use them on the trail. But My son has been running his on street for the last year.

There are thousands of reviews on the ones you got and the Goodyear Duratracs. Whole threads on each just on JeepForum and Expedition Portal for example, both are getting good reviews
I had "one" of the Walmart branded and took it to stand it up beside the Duratrac. You see what I bought, enough difference to me. I got all 4 mounted balanced taxes etc for 700 ( 265-75s) The local place met Tireracks price at the time
I keep watching the Walmart brand to see how they wear compared to the Durtracs.

I’m not sure how they are going to wear. I can say that when I kick or push my foot on the edge of the tire it seems really soft. It’s like my foot just sinks into the tire. I can’t compare to any othes as of yet, so I guess I need to find some more tires to push on (don’t be alarmed if you see a guy pushing your tire) lol
