I purchased a set of new 265/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S tires for my 1999 F150 4x4 a couple of months ago. Now two months later I have had to replace all four tires due to small punctures that have occured to the sidewalls of the tires that were unfixable. The tread seems to be good and can go for a long time, but what good is it if the side walls puncture when running over small sticks or rocks, which was the case with these tires.

Has anybody had a similar experience with these tires?

What tires can be considered better than these, especially when it comes to sidewall strength.

Also, the lifetime road hazard warranty isn't all that it seems. The first two tires blew out a week after I put them on and the tire dealer said Goodyear would only refund half the cost, even though the tread was probably 99.9% good. Sounds like a bum deal to me.

 

you been running over porcupines? or diving through construction areas?

my issue with these on my old truck was quick wear and bad wet traction.

might have been a bad batch of rubber. seem new to have dry rot issues, they properly inflated?

 

I had bad luck with the set of Wrangler RT/S's that came on my truck. Poor traction, poor wear, and dry rot issues.

 

Ditto that, greasy cheeseball tires.
