Default Goodyear Wrangler AT/S

These came stock on my 2011. I already wasn't happy about that. I had them on my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. They had terrible traction in snow and rain. I have had 3 flats in 8000 miles on these. Does anyone else notice they are prone to flats (nails in tire) with these? Just curious....
Take care,
Matt

That's what came on mine and I had read several places that they weren't the best. I traded all five in right away on some 285/70R17 BFG Rugged Terrain T/As (brand new tire this year). They're a nice open tread for limited off-road but quieter than the All Terrain T/As I had on my last truck.

Those also came stock on my 07. They sucked on wet roads from day one. I kept them though as I didn't feel like spending the money. One good thing, they wore like armor. I had 65K miles on them when I got new tires and they still had tread on them. It was just the damn winter and in the middle of an ice storm. I had to get new tires.

I do believe I had a flat very early on with one of them too. Patched and plugged and never had anymore issues with it though.

Have had mine on for a year since I bought my 11'. No flats yet and decent traction. Will get something better once I wear these down.

They suck were on my new truck for 60 miles before michelins went on. I had the exact same tires on a truck before this one so I knew before hand I wouldn't care for them.

What's everyone's main complaint with them? I know they are no performance or high end tire but I figured I would run them till they die and then replace them. No sense in replacing perfectly good rubber.

I do have a different setup for the track though, so if that's everyone's complaint I can see that.

I switched mostly for the taller and wider tires, and didn't want to just get bigger Goodyears because I'd read several not-great reviews. Plus I really liked the last couple sets of BFG tires I've had.
