so im just about to put a 3 inch lift on my jeep, and have a few tires selected out, and just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. what i have picked out are these: Hankook DynaPro MT RT03, Goodyear Wrangler Authority, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrack, Cooper Discover STT, and the Cooper Discover S/T. anyone had any experience with any of these? any input will be appreciated, thanks

 

i see your looking at more of a mud terrain

if you interested at all in a nice all terrain

check out general grabbers at2

i have a set and they rocked

good tread life

aggressive

and alot cheaper and longer tread life

just my 2 cents

otherwise good luck choosing, internet reviews are helpful

 

I got good year athoritys on my xj and love them I use it for my winter beater and I have not got stuck yet, I would buy them again. they have a slight howl going down the hwy, but ride real good.

 

I just picked up a set of the General Grabbers and think they're pretty good so far. Good Luck!!!

 

x2 previous post, they rock for the price, last along time

 

Bfg km2s!

 

The Grabbers aren't a bad overall tire either. General used to suck, but in recent years they're really starting to step up their game, and the Grabber is proof.

Can't go wrong with Goodyear though. (even though the Authority is a cheap-o version made soley for Walmart/Costco)

 

I have the authorities from walmart. The reason they're cheap is because Goodyear has a contract to make massive quantities of tires so walmart can sell them cheaper. They are not a low quality tire. They have excellent traction in mud and have a nice growl on the road. Highly recommended

 

Their lineup got a lot better after being taken over by Continental Tire out of France.

I have a set of the AT2s for my Subaru and agree that this is an excellent tire, especially for the price. Liked them so much I got a set of Grabber HPs for another car and it's an awesome street tire.

 

Love my Duratracs, as long as they're touching dirt you won't get stuck in them (I may have axled out a few times in big*** ruts in the woods...)

 

I'm leaning towards the General Grabber AT2 as well. General Tire is now owned by Continental, the German Tire company. The Germans don't mess around when it comes to tires.

Fundamentally, I need a good performing tire for moderate offroading as well as in the snow and the Duratrac definitely meets that criteria. But, in reading reviews over at offroading.com, the AT2 is snow rated and studdable as well for 20% less than the Goodyear Duratrac.

Since I am trying to keep the costs down on the XJ lift, I most likely will go for the less expensive General Grabber and use the savings towards the next item on my lift list, the adjustable track bar !

Any question about tire choices should state what size the OP is planning on running and the intended use for the vehicle. If it is going to be a DD, with some mild wheeling a 31x10.50r15 General Grabbers would work fine. If your going to trim fenders to run 33x 12.50r15s and want to run tough trails. I would go with a tire that has a three ply sidewall BFG KM2s, Goodyear MTRs, Firestone Destination MTs, etc.

 

I have had real good luck with Cooper Discoverers over the years. Got real good wear out of them.

 

duratracs are the best tire for an a/t. they are awesome on the road and offroad i havnt seen a better a/t. with the side wall tread the way it is who can argue????? my girlfriend and my dad have them. im about 30 mins from buying some.....

 

bf goodrich a/t last for upwards of 50,000 miles if kept in good shape
