The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I drive a 2006 ford ranger supercab 2.5. I purchased a set of good year wranglers. With almost 50% threat left it felt like the wheel balancing was out. After tire rotations wheel alighnment and wheel balancing and even check the rims i have decided to replace the front tires with the same wranglers. Problem solve. But after 15000km i am staring to feel the same problem again on my steering and know of other with simular problems. I now look at a diffrent make of tire. When new the tire is really great on and off road with no problems. Tire still have more than 60%thread left when it started with the problem. Anyone else experienced the same problem?
The best tire for my terrano II. Excellent grip off road, rocks mud and dry. Midle in grass and snow. Excelent on road dry condictions low noise for this type of tires. Very good on road raining situations especially stopping your car . Good in aquaplaning cornering and high speed cornering that are the two lowest situations of those excellent tires. I strong recomend "the best tire" on road-off road.
