Goodyear G171 tires

[kschitoskey]

Has anyone tried these? The goodyear web site describes these as very durable; I wonder how they stack up to the XPS traction...

I have no experience with them but I have seen a lot of oil field trucks with them. Definetly durable I would say. The G133 is of the same casing, just a more all terrain type tread. My dad had some of those on his truck years ago and really liked them. I don't know many miles he put on them but they still had lots of tread when he sold the truck. XPS traction, great tire. I have them on my 1st gen. The only tire that is wearing evenly on that truck. I would think that all of these are really good tough tires and you can't go wrong with any of them. My. 02.

I have run the Good year tires they are pretty good real rugged, Very harsh ride and dont last as long at the XPS. The casing is a lower profile also. You can expect about 60 to 70K on the XPS.

I bought G133's for the rear of my 95' 2500 this summer. I pull a big gooseneck with a lot of weight on the front. These tires are 10 or 12 ply side walls. They really took the sway out of it. I took a 4,000 mile trip to the east coast in July and they ran cool all the way.
