Goodyear Announces a new variant of the MT/R

[Beowulf]

From what is posted in this thread the answer is NO. They are not directional.

They are NOT directional. per Goodyear. Just like i posted in the other MTR thread.

They sure do appear directional both in asymmetric and angled tread design. Don't like white out...

Don't like white out...

I agree 100%

Hopefully, they'll last a while.

I just picked up a set. Used the latest rebate and got my local tire shop to price match a dirt cheap store across the country. That put them in my price range.

Will post pics once I get them up. :ylsmoke:

I prefer when the tire is blackwall on both sides so I don't have to put up with white lettering on the inside of my wheels :smiley_drive:

I agree 100%

Got the set of 31's. They look and feel very durable.

I was sitting on the fence between these and the DuraTrac's.

Let me tell you, as soon as I felt the DuraTrac sidewall, I laughed out loud in the store.

It's comparable to a road tire. I couldn't believe how soft and pliable it is.

That sealed the deal with the MTR's.

Maybe they're a great stick on slickrock?

They just look bizarre to me. We have the previous version of MT/R's on the FJ and we love them...I'd buy a set for the 4Runner if they made them in a decent size for a 16 inch rim but they don't...and on these tires (at least the ones we have) having the white out makes a huge difference...the raised white letters stick out almost 1/4 in from the tires and grab and get caught on stuff all the time. Bleh...

$205/tire after rebate for my 285/75-16 (33") set last night.
Ride is comfy, grip on wet roads is great. Trails this weekend.

Yeah, I'm not running white out unless I'm sponsored, no reason for me to pay to advertise for someone else.

The 33's only come with the RWL --- and I can't see them when I'm driving so I really don't mind...

I prefer black out myself. But if the tires are as good as advertised I could live with it.

OH great,
I just learned that 4 Wheel Parts Wholesallers in WA ordered the wrong tires. Our techs truck will be sporting the Dura Trac Goodyears . I told them the "NEW" Goodyear MT/Rs with Kevlar. How they got Dura Trac out of that is beyond me. But I will have the MT/Rs on my new work truck in about a month. We go to the same places so it will be interesting to see how well they perform from one truck to the next. The trucks will be really close to identical.

When I called 4Wheel Parts, they said that they didn't have the new MTR's and couldn't get them yet.
Discount tire got them in 12 hours from the Goodyear warehouse in Atlanta for me and beat web pricing.
