“I have pictures in my gallery, they are lame. They look nice, nothing fancy, ok for me as I kept the stock size. My gas mileage dropped, they are heavier than my previous tires (wrangler ATS) and have a deeper, more aggressive tread. I spoke with goodyear tech support before purchasing and they told me to expect a 5-10% increase in fuel consumption right away which is holding true. It will improve with time. As for performance, after several long haul trips up north into Northern Ontario, smooth and quiet on the highway, and really handling the trails nicely. I've gone done some pretty knarly trails(I'm talking deep forest unmaintained trails with no cell phone service) the last few weeks and have little fear of punctures from the sharp rocks and stuff or getting stuck. I do recommend road force balance, highway ride went from OK to smooth as glass after that. I drove for a couple of weeks before the balance issues really got on my nerves and had to try something.”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
