Ordered new Kevlar MTRs

[RamAirZ]

At this moment in time I'm alot more street or light offroading than heavy offroading. I'll hit the mud holes and backtrails every now and then but the rocks and what not is rare for me to get the time to get out there. As the kids get a little older that will change (I hope), and then I'll drop the coin on some Kevlars or something similar. My next new tire purchase will probably end up being the Swamper Trxus MT's, love em'. Good job convincing the wife I have to do that every now and then. "But honey, if I spend the extra money now it won't break in the future" lol.

I just got my new Kevlars installed. The manager proceeded to lecture me on the use of my tires,saying it was obvious that the sidewalls had contacted rocks and other sharp surfaces...duh!!! I told him, "no ****, thats what those tires and my truck were made for". He was not amused, he seemed disappointed that Goodyear offered to replace my tires for free, I didn't pay a single dime. They did not wear well either, 1/8" off of the front an 1/16" off the rear in less than 2K miles. I also managed to tear off a few of the outer lugs. They handle awesome, and are very quiet, and are killer in mud and on rocks. But based on wear and cosmetic issues, i would not buy these again. The new tires are slightly different, so hopefully Goodyear fixed their QA problems on the cosmetic black coating and the softness of the rubber. I will post up in a few months if they do the same thing as my first set.
On the RS I am putting some Swamper TSL Bias Ply tires. Those things are indestructible and much cheaper than the Kevlars. I could buy 5 for less than I bought 4 Kevlars.
