Looking to upgrade the tires on my 4Runner to 285/70/17's and have been getting price quotes. My local tire dealer has a set of Goodyear Wrangler's that are used (about 1500 miles) for $200 a tire. I believe they go for $270 a piece. The tires are like new and have never been repaired. Previous owner felt the were too aggressive. :)

Sorry if this is not thread worthy, but I was note sure where else to post the question ... sooooo another tire question. Sorry!

That could be a good deal. Just look them over really well. Measure the tread depth your self (on each tire), and compare it with what is should be when they are new. Make sure no repairs have been done. Also be sure to check the date that they were made on (should be a code on the sidewall indicating this). Oh and do they still have a warranty?

Yea, they said they were still under warranty and had no repairs. Very little wear though I would like to check it out myself. Its tempting but I still may go for the KO2's as they look to have great reviews everywhere ....
 
"Too aggressive"?

That's code for something ... "noisy" is my first guess.

"Couldn't balance" is another.

Your feedback reminds me of a review that I read several times that they were pretty loud on the road. Also KO2's got much better reviews on noise level and snow performance. Probably best I spend another $300 (tires and install) for brand new tires that are better all around as well.

Appreciate everyones thoughts and feedback.

Wrangler ATs (Adventures, I assume) will be hardly any louder than the stock P-rated tires that come with it stock...too aggressive, though :wtf:

I had a set on my last vehicle and they were very mild in all aspects.

I'd also expect them to be cheaper if they had been used, regardless if it's just 1,500 miles. But that's just me.
 
I initially was thinking you were talking duratracs. I'd go KO2's over that model of Goodyear. I don't think those are rated for snow and both KO2 and duratrac are. I mean you are in CO and all...

I second this. Or better yet, don't get a GY at all and get something better that's at the same lower price point you want, but in brand new condition.

Snowing right now where I am in Monument. :)
 
AT's are decent all around, but I would not expect awesome snow performance. The current set of winter tires I have were cheap, and destroy any AT I have ever driven when it comes to slippery conditions. If you can't do 2 sets, you might look into something like the Cooper ATW, which is more of a hybrid between an AT and winter tire. Gets excellent reviews. Just something to consider, seeing that you are in Monument.

No joke and about 2 or 3 are considered all terrain. At first I thought he was talking about Goodyear Wrangler MTRs.... or at least Dura tracks since someone called them too aggressive.
