Hello..
Just put a set of Goodyear Wrangler AT/D2s on my 1999 Ranger 4x2... I got nearly 100K out of those factory Firestones. w00t! I went for the same size of 225/75/15. I chose the Wrangler AT/D2s because they looked aggressive, and the tread suggests they'll do well in the snow come winter.
Anyone have any of these? I sort of wonder if maybe the truck isn't heavy enough for them, or something. They're a little on the 'squirrely' side. If i were to 'weave' back and forth a little bit (not unlike the NASCAR guys heating up their tires) it feels like the tail end of my truck is just swaying all over the place- on dry, level pavement it's the same 'floating' feeling as driving on a washboarded road, but without the vibration... I haven't checked the air pressure yet (I'll have to wait until it's light out again), but they *look* about right.
Goodyear.com doesn't even list Wrangler AT/D2s on their website. I had seen "Goodyear Wrangler" before on small trucks and Jeeps, but didn't realize (until now) that they have a bajillion tires and they're all named "Wrangler".
Thanks for any suggestions or stories.
