[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 573354, member: 52972"] Goodyear makes some very good tires, it just so happens that the Wrangler RT/S is not one of them. I had Goodyear Wrangler RF/A's on my 2001 Sport Trac as replacements for the original Firestone Wilderness AT's. The RT/A's are a "Rotation Free" tire with different tread patterns for the front and rear tires and the "A" indicates they were AquaTreads. I put over 42K miles on those tires when I traded in the 2001 for a 2003 Sport Trac and the tires looked and ran great. The treads looked like they were good for another 40K miles, were never rotated, and the wet weather traction was phenominal. The biggest problem with the Wrangler RT/S tires is the wet weather traction which can be improved tremendously by having the tire siped. I have always had good luck with Goodyear tires. The Goodyear replacements for the RF/A's is the new Triple-Tread but they cost $190+ each...Ouch! ...Rich [/QUOTE]
