I just replaced four Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires on my '97 Explorer. They had a little over 70,000 miles on them, with still some treadlife left, but the noise they were making was unbelievable. I thought the front hub assemblies were going out again (the bearings failed at 60k mi.) and the sound was just about identical
Anyway, Walmart was running a special on Goodyear Wrangler Radials at $50/ea. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I needed the tires and the price was right. Now I'm trying to find out a little more info on the tires I bought, but there's nothing out there. These just say Goodyear Wrangler Radial on the sidewall. No RT/S, RT/A or any other designation. I'm guessing they're a cheap version of the better tires. But it seems strange that not even the Goodyear website has anything on them
Anyone else trying these tires out? Seem ok so far. A little noisy, but still quite a bit quieter than the tires I replaced.
