Was looking at some 31"s today in Walmart. Noticed their Goodyear Authorities I think they were called. Anyone use these tires, or have used them in the past? How do they compare to other brands?

You will hear lots of bad things about walmart tires, but I have them and really like them, they are really good in almost everything, they wear well and the are pretty cheap compared to a lot of tires out there.

I've read good things and heard good things about them.

There seems to be a 15 page thread on JeepForum, just about this tire. I'm reading it.

Oh and the proper name for this tire:

Goodyear Wrangler Authority A/T

$148.00 @ Walmart. Probably cheaper in a 4 tire bundle...

Yeah dude there is a guy on YouTube that does a good review

I loved mine when I had them! Big improvement over the bfg all terrains I had prior to the authorities

KJamesJR

Big improvement? How so? This tire is $60 cheaper than the BFG's in my location...

For one they aren't BFG Mall Terrains. I have heard tons of good about them, they sort of look like duratracs too.

Couldn't find it.

Wish I new more about tires... Trying to learn.

Not sure if they would do well in the snow. They do have some beefy tread though. I read the sidewalls are thin however. Not that I'm too worried about sidewall damage, I just know what it's like to "slip into a rut". Where I'm at, there just happens to be a lot of granite in the earth. I don't want to get pulled into a rut with granite walls, then lose a tire because of it.

They are snow rated.....well they have the little aproval snowflake thing on the side , I wouldn't worry to much about sidwall unless your really doing some crawling stuff

I had them on my jeep and really like them. No issues at all. Work just as good as the mtrs i had prior and are lasting twice as long. Quiet, gret grip on rocks works great. Bargin at tthe price

Im the shop manger for a tle this tire is awsome! They wear good as long as you keep up with your rotations.i had a customer with a z71 that got 65,000 out of them before he changed them. Im going to get them after i lift my jeep higher.
