Default Goodyear made a good product!

OMFG...Goodyear has finally pleased me. I cannot believe it.
I have yet to finish trimming the fenders but I finally ripped my 235's they were so bald.
I was gonna go with Walmarts Uniroyal Liberator 31 because it was the size I wanted and It was fairly priced.
But something so much sexier caught my eye. The Goodyear Wrangler Authority, being good friends with the TLE manager I had to ask how they were.

He continued to tell me that they were selling like crazy and that he had gotten very few complaints on them. I asked him if he would sell them to one of his close friends and he said of course..

I BOUGHT ALL FOUR RIGHT THERE.

and I had to start wheeling early. In the back of the Wal Mart in the low mud.....Pulled back onto the parkin lot and slung the wet mud on the store managers beamer.
What a night...I havent been this happy in a while


((Exact tire Goodyear Wrangler Authority 31x10.5x15 Class C on stock rim/lift))

Hay now goodyear has been making grate off road tiers for years. U just were scared to run them. They were made to run on haybines like combine but for hay. About 40" tall 15" wide and go on a 16.1 rim. There sweet not to road friendly though lol. All joking aside grate tiers good score. If they made them in a bigger size any were from 33-36 I would love to run them.

authorities for 160? my walmart has them for 130 and the lowest i could find the duratracs for was 170, and if it was any lower the shipping brought the price back up to about the same anyways.
