Pitch Sequencing basically is the method of reducing tread noise, where the geometry of every tread block is altered a little bit so that it can create a different tone, and sound waves can cancel out each other.īy the way, the quietest tire in the mud terrain category is Falken Wildpeak M/T (review). In case of bumps absorption, the Goodyear Wrangler MTR offers a soft inner construction of cap plies (where the tire on purpose only provides a single layer), the tire also offers very spongy outer tread rubber as well.īoth of these are efficient in soaking up the vibrations from the road.īut the tire is not comfortable in terms of noise, as it creates a lot of groove resonance which are not dampened by even pitch sequencing. The ride quality is determined by looking at the comfort levels of a tire, and here tire’s ability to dampen the tread noise and bumps is considered. So the tire’s softer rubber gets to have larger rolling resistance values which generates faster wear, though the tire does get helped with good enough tread depth of up to 21/32″, which takes a little time to wear off. The tire although keeps its weight at bay by featuring just a single cap ply of nylon, the 3 ply carcass still take things up to 90 lbs, which is a lot. The Goodyear Wrangler offers a ton of uneven biters with it’s asymmetrical design, so it’s very tough to maintain even wear on these tires. Like there’s weight which determines the force with which the tire rolls on the surface, there’s compositions which also contributes to rolling resistance, as softer compound sticks more and then there’s tire’s structure which gives you biters. When it comes to mileage of a tire, it depends on a few key factors. The Goodyear MTR is not branded with 3 peak mountain snow flake rating so the tire is not preffered for hard packed snow, where it’s a big fat NO for ice, with almost zero siping on the tread.īut you can still use these tire for deeper snow going up to 5 feet. Resistance to hydroplaning is the tire’s ability to evacuate water from its tread so it would not float.Īnd Wrangler MTR being such a bald tire has no issues there, it’s interconnected grooves offer ample real estate for water to escape while it’s flexible tread molds in a way which makes negative pressure values, pushing water out faster. Sipes basically provide the tread with slits which soak up the water, and mud tires for off road purposes are given enough sipes.īut at least the tread composition of these tires are softer, which is also helpful, as it provides decent hydroplaning resistance. That’s because the tire has no siping on it which is the key component here. ![]() The Goodyear Wrangler MTR is not one of them, as the tire severely lacks in wet traction overall. Wet grip of a tire as is highly dependent on the amount of siping, the Mud tires suffer in this department the most, but there are still a few mud tire that pull it off, and let me tell you… These are they 2 main key components that judges the tires overall abilities here, so let’s discuss them both separately. Sure these tires are good at one component of overall performance, hydroplaning, but other than that, they lack severly in the gripping section. And the Goodyear MTR is no exception here. Generally Mud tires are not good on wet roads. The biter on one side makes overall a bumpier experience while the smooth tread blocks provide better effectiveness overall.įor Your Info: Toyo Open Country M/T provides one of the most capable grip on dry roads, detailed review: Same goes for the shoulder ribs, where one side there are full depth traction notches while the other side is smooth. On dry rubber to surface exposure is significant and here again the Goodyear MTR provides better gripping abilities from half of it’s tread while the other half isn’t as good as it’s lugs aren’t that closed up, and this limits the grip. So a very weird response is produced, the tire feels sharp turning on one side, while smooth on the other, Dry Traction The Goodyear MTR is a confusing tire, its asymmetrical tread is already where demanding in terms of handling, and here the very different sides of the tire act as a catalyst here. ![]() Mud tires are further divided in to two categories, there are some which are more aligned towards on road comfort, and then there are others, which are willing to sacrifice that for raw off road performance.
