How many miles do goodyear wrangler tires last

My 2018 Z71 came with Goodyear Wrangler 255/65 R17 tires. Anybody have any stats on how many miles you got out of them before needing replaced? Thanks!

The first time it rained....

I just turned over 60K and they are still doing okay. It's about time for a new set and I will likely change them out before 70K.

I have 62k on mine with about 2-3 mm before the minimum. Goodyear says 65k.

Ratings & reviews I've seen since my purchase have been pretty good. I am impressed with their winter traction here in North Dakota. I only have under 3k on them so hope they last at least 40k.

Due to a misaligned front end (factory) 20,000

By 20k or so mine only had approx 5/32nds left and were horrible in the rain so I swapped them out for Duratracs which also sucked in the rain.

I had a set of Duratracs as well and gave them the boot because they sucked in the rain. Their snow performance didn't exactly impress me either. It rains a lot here and the snow gets really slushy.

I lost patience with mine at 20k, they weren’t worn out, but were abysmal in snow, and at best mediocre in all other conditions. Pretty loud on road by 20k mi.

Both the General grabber arctic lt and Nokia’s rotiiva At plus I’ve replaced them with since are superior in every aspect. Even the general snow tire grabbers were quieter on road.

We should probably note that the OEM Wrangler Kevlars are just that, OEM specific. The aftermarket version could be much better and last longer. This is usually the case when the vehicle manufacturer orders a special compound for the OEM version of a tire model. That's why I never trust anyone's opinion on a tire if it is the OEM version. I.e. you usually hear "I had XX tire that came on my XX vehicle and it sucked!". Take that with a grain of salt because it probably doesn't apply to the aftermarket version of the tire.

One of the big disappointments on my Colorado is that it came with Goodyears. In 40 years of trucking, I have never bought a Goodyear tire that I didn't regret, either immediately (out of round) or eventually. Maybe when it comes time for replacement (years down the road, since I'm easy on tires), I can find some sort of Bridgestones, my personal favorite.

I’ve heard the same, the OEM version doesn’t get praise like the aftermarket version does. That said, if was dropping corn on GY’s, I’d get better ones than those. Manufacturers don’t put good tires on vehicles until a very high price point.

Definitely!

There are many goodyears that are very good tires, Ive had several that were better than expectations. All mfrs make both crap and gold, Bridgestone included, the craptastical re92 comes to mind, as well as many of the dueler line. Hard when you have to wade through millions of models and reviews written by idiots who wouldn’t know a good or bad tire if it was up their butts kicking footballs.

I just crossed 55k in my CCSB. Since weather isn’t too bad this time of year, I’ll let them ride a bit longer. But if we were heading in to winter, I’d probably be shopping for tires very soon. I don’t have a depth gauge to read off X/32 but to the point confidence in any kind of challenging conditions would be low. Pretty vague, but there you go.

mine are looking good at 31k. But they slide so bad in the rain, I am replacing them this week.

Mine were the aftermarket version and were purchased from a Goodyear dealer...

Over 20,000 miles here and they suck in snow. They still have good tread life left but I will switch them this year. I have always been happy with Firestone Destination ATs. I know people don't like Firestone, but these tires are great.

Good data! Consensus is all versions basically suck. :grin2:

I had Goodyears on cars and trucks and generally the ones on the cars have been fine. I have never been overly happy with Goodyears on a truck, but these Wranglers on the Colorado are the first time I will say that the tire sucks. The wet traction is beyond terrible and they are going away this summer and being replaced with some Michelin's.
