Looking for Answers about Goodyear Goodyear Wrangler Territory?

Louder than a set of snow tires but nowhere near as bad as a set of mudtires or studded tires.

They are fairly loud on the highway, the treads do make a "whirring sound" as my wife says. Slight, slight vibration as each tread block touches the road, but only between 80-90Km/h Tires not loud enough that you have to raise your voice to be heard, and the knob on the radio goes up one or two notches and all is fine. Getting where you need to go with all the fenders intact is worth it.

Barely noticeable on pavement or ice but howl a bit on hardpack. Worth putting up with for the traction though.

You hear them. I have a diesel so I dont notice it so much, but noticibly louder than 4 ply highway tires.

They are noisy above 70kmh, I wouldnt recommend them if you like quiet highway driving

Probably twice as loud as an all season.
Had a set on my pickup and you could hear me coming. For the hwy it was loud. A constant noise.
I would like a set but that is what gets me. The noise and having to shout at the passenger for them to here me. A constant loud ra-ra.
Inside a sport utility like what I have now I think would be even louder.
Presently I have Uniroyal Larado's ( from CDN Tire) and they work very good in the snow and ice. They wear well and are quiet at hwy speeds.
45000 km on them so far and almost no wear.
I would buy another set of these no problem.
And we get lot's of snow here.

Depends on the tire size offered. some are "C" 6 ply, some are "D" 8 ply, and some are "E" 10 ply.
should be written directly into the tire size description.

Load rating is C and weight rating is around 3400 lbs i believe

265/75R16 is 3450lbs

3450

31x10.50R15 and LT235/75R15 are Load Range C ( 6 Ply rating) while all other sizes are load range E (10 ply rating)

I put these on a 98 GMC Sierra - no pins. I rarely use 4x4 with them on unless we get some drifting or extremely icy conditions. The grip and control are fantastic. You may have to adjust tire pressure though to limit drifting while at highway speeds. I also have some sandbags in the back of the truck which also help.

Cheers!

i have these tires on a 92 ford explore and i have to studs and i get unbe;ievable tratction in 3 plus ft of snow and real bad black ice

i put two on the rear of my ford supercrew 4x4. It's like they have claws. excellent tire even without 4x4 on. buy them, you won't be disappointed.

Crazy stupid good traction. Studding is only legal north of Parry Sound though, stupid that it's not allowed down here, nice to know our roads are worth more than our lives!!!!

I have studs, and they really add to the tire performance. They are on my 95 F250 diesel

I've put 12,000 Km on them...no wear.
Having said that, I expect 40-50,000 Km (or 2 years) of summer/winter driving on my F250.

That's a typical wear for tires like this to retain optimum winter usage....you might get an extra summer out of them if you rotate and don't abuse them with hard driving.

I had them on my dual rear axle cube van with 25,000 km on the tires when i sold it, and they wore so little that they still appeared new. Alignment, driving style and rotating the tires play a massive part in tire life. If you've had tires wear fast and don't drive aggressively, and have the tires rotated every other oil change, then your alignment is probably out of spec. Not rotating your tires will let the non-driven tires develop a scallopped or cupped pattern where one tread block wears more than the other.
If you leave black marks everywhere you go...., well, enough said.

Nope, I've been rocking a set on my Wrangler since last fall (2009). Going into my second winter with them. They are great.

They will wear abit faster than a all season type tread. They do serve a purpose being an aggresive tread . I tow 22ft trailer and boat on top of truck, lots of junk , for kids in back, I have had tires for 7months and put on 20k . very little wear yet. I will have them roated just to keep them even.

31x10.50-15 is almost a 265/75r15.
this would be 6.1% larger tire than existing, and could start rubbing on the chassis of your vehicle, especially at full steering lock and could cause damage. See below for approximate measurments.
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
235/75-15 6.9in 14.4in 28.9in 90.7in 698 0.0%
265/75-15 7.8in 15.3in 30.6in 96.3in 658 6.1%

That depends on what vehicle you're planning on putting them on. But you will need a 15 inch rim with a minimum 7 inch width.

You most likely could switch, it really all depends on the space you have in your wheel well.What vehicle would these be going on?

they will fit but they are a way smaller tire. 3cm less wide, and a bit less tall. your speedo wuill be out a bit

oh yeah not a real big defference there. just a touch wider

According to a online Tire Size calculator, the new tire size would be .8% taller than your stock size, see below...

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter 255/65-16 6.5in 14.5in 29.1in
225/75-16 6.6in 14.6in 29.3in

Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
91.3in 694 0.0%
92.0in 689 0.8%

A taller skinnier tire is great for snow and ice, but remember that these are truck tires, and a Load range 'E' 10 ply truck tire has a very stiff sidewall and will ride harder than a car based tire

I have a 2002 F-150 Reg Cab 4x4 and have been running Territory 265/75R16's. I keep them at 35psi almost religiously. These tires have almost 70,000 kms on them and still have 5/32" of tread left with even tread wear!. I will be buying another set this fall.

Thanks Spitfire, I really appreciate your input. It was very helpful.

Besides the obvious of go by the manufacturer's recommendation (sticker on door jamb driver side), I drive an 1999 F250 and label says 45 front 60 rear...but when empty I found 40 front/50 rear gives the tires an even wear over the long haul and the best gas mileage. Only under load do I inflate my tires to 45/60. I certainly wouldn't go over that as you would get excessive (over-inflated) tire wear.

Absolutely. They have great grip in rain and on dry pavement so why not? Of course they will wear faster because you use them more...but compared to other tire prices, you might as well use them. They also make the truck look great!

yes, i do they are only rated at a winter tire because they are a softer compund, but really they are a great all season tire. especially on mud, gravel and sand

Yes, they will fit with absolutely no problem. I upsized to 235/75/15's on my Ranger Regular Cab, which was originally equipped with the 225/70/15's. I am happy with the looks of the tire, and almost anything is better than the OEM tires they install at the factory.
There will be absolutely no clearance issues front or back.

should fit no problem a 70 is wider then a 75 should be no problem i have 31x10.5R15 on my ford ranger 4x4 buy my spare tire is 245/75/r15

There are 3 main points to look at when plus sizing a tire:

1) the % difference between the 2 sizes
- this can never exceed 4%, due to speed sensors, anti lock brakes, etc.
2) the Overall Diameter difference
- which in this example is + 1.0 inch
3) the Sidewall Height difference
- which is 0.5 of an inch in this situation

Therefore, with your specific situation,

1) the % difference is less than 4%
2) the diameter is excessive at + 1 inch, but
- this is for a truck which typically allows for greater tolerances
- you have installed a lift kit
3) the sidewall height difference is + 1/2 an inch
- again, being a truck and with the installation of a lift kit, you should be okay

In the end however, we recommend that you work with your local Canadian Tire auto service department to make a definitive call whether the tires will fit your truck.

I own a 2007 Tacoma with a 3" lift and 265/75/16 BFG A/T's, I personally have not experienced any rubbing on the UCA as of yet. My brother also owns a new gen Tacoma with these exact tires mounted on stock rims and he has not encountered any issues either.
