Good Year Wrangler tyre life

[Stuart02]

Hi folks,

Just wondering how many kms people are getting out of their standard issue 18" Wranglers - with normal rotation, no alignment issues etc?

We've done 34,000 of mainly city and highway, minimal towing (sadly) and I'm guessing we'll get to perhaps 50,000 before I can shop for some nice AT replacements...

Does that sound in the ball park?

Many thanks

50,000 so far (19"). Good for another 2000-3000 easily.

I think mine had done 55k when I changed to GG ATs, which quite are quite a bit noisier at cruising spread but far superior on on the dirt.

That sounds good to me with 5 tyre rotation I will be lucky to get 40k. I am scrubing outer edge of front left and also front right but not as bad. Rotating will help spread this wear over all tyres.

Only got 40,000 ks out of mine and lots of punctures, a really crap tyre. I now have GG ATs (second set) very happy with them.

Currently at around 53K for our 19" Wranglers. Expect to get about 60-65K. Mostly highway use with a bit of towing. Have been reasonably happy with them and undecided as to what the replacement will be.

For what its worth, my first D3 had the Wranglers from new, cut 2 of them on simple off road use, not to harsh usage. After the second cut and as they were wearing (45k) replaced them with GG's. Performed well, the person who bought my D3 after I traded it got a good deal, if I could have swapped them for the Wranglers that were on the new D4 when I picked it up I would have, but as we all know they are different sizes. Got about 35k on the new D4 Wranglers now and they are showing wear. Have not done as much off road as the D3 had by 35k but I suspect they will not be on for long, first cut I get I will swap them all out and not waste money as I know it will happen again, so no point sticking to them. Most of my driving is rural, lots of highway and lots of gravel roads, a little towing. (Unfortunately!)

Yes, 50k with no off road use, wheel alignment and rotation every service.

Possibly different because it is on my D2, not a D3

I had 18" Wranglers on the D2 when I bought it - don't know how long they had been on it - and I got 120,000k on them - mainly normal road work, very little offroad, some towing - never rotated - wore pretty evenly - so I bought another set.

My owners manual indicated 28psi on the front and 38psi on the rear for 'normal' use so that is how I ran them. Not hugely comfortable at that pressure - felt every bump on the road and it 'tramlines' with longitudinal 'cracks' or indents in the road seal - but, being a tight-ass I appreciate the mileage I got out of them.

That's spectacular!
