FrankW438 -> RE: Are the OEM Wrangler RT/S Ok tires ??? (1/27/2008 6:37:20 PM)

I switched to the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor in 265 75/16. I have noticed a dramatic increase in traction on wet, icy and snowy roads. On the highway, the ride is quieter and much smoother. No problems with the TPMS at all. I would like to try a little mild off-roading this summer, and these are certainly capable of it. I paid $875 w/tax, hazard, yadayadayada, plus I got a $25 rebate. I only bought four, because they are the same size as my spare. I am on a lease, also. I kept the original Wrangler RT/S tires, and put them in my garage. If I decide to turn in my H3 at the end of my lease, I won't have to buy new tires, because the factory originals are like-new. I think my lease requires a minimum of 1/8" tread when I turn it in.
If I am going to have to buy new tires, I would rather pick out some good tires and use them for the duration of the lease, than worry about it at the end of the lease.
All-in-all, I am very happy with the Wrangler Silent Armor. I have been told (repeatedly) that Michelin's are superior tires, and I would have gone with oneof their all-terrain tires if anyone in my area had them in stock.
Hope this helps you with your decision!
