That's very true.... I'd prefer the best bang for the buck. I don't have to have the "top of the line" if there is an alternative one that is a much better value and will still get the job done that I am looking to accomplish with them.
When these Wranglers go... or when I land in a pile of cash... I'll probably switch them out for a set like the Iron man's... b/c I just don't feel like paying that much extra for another set of BFG's even though I like them.... as tires are pretty pricey these days regardless.

I'm waiting for that myself hahah

EEVEE

is it bad im the type of person who is so satisfied when he hits a mud pit with bald tires and just toss my jeep around in the sand and mud? if so i think im doing it wrong lol.

If I didn't have to drive so far for groceries and needed the safety, I would prefer nearly bald tires and do the same. Lol

RocketMouse

LOL.... yeah... and my luck it would be from like 10 feet above.....and and be like stacks of nickels instead. ha!


Oh and I have to admit something... hope I don't get shamed or flamed for it..... but in my defense, it has been a few years since I had my last Yota 4x4 with the for-mentioned tires.... um... it came to me when I happened across a pic of it with them on it... that they were in-fact, not General brand....they were Capitol. I wouldn't recommend those things to my worst enemy. lol. What a crap AT tire.
They handled like crap in basically every road condition. The ONLY think good I can say about those things was that they held air. If I ever had to rock another set of those things I'd rather take the bus. lol
At least my Wranglers that have the crap reputation, handle worlds better in every condition compared to the Capitols. Man... they shouldn't even be allowed to produce tires... IMHO.

That makes more sense. When you said they were Generals with the BFG tread pattern, I thought they had to be the AT 2s that everyone seems to love.

Capital tires are still around but evidently changed the AT pattern.

Capitols are made by Nexen and probably one of the poorest built tires there is out there. I had to stop selling these because my customers were about to string me up. lol

Martlor13

Nexens are...decent hahha....but yeah the capitol brand really isn't up to snuff.

Bugout4x4

Yeah they cost me quite a bit of profit. I had to sell the next set of a different brand to all those customers at cost and mount them for free to keep them as customers. So it summing things up, I didn't make a dime on the Capitols, I had to give that profit right back to the customers who bought them. Needless to say I didn't sell them for long... lol

EEVEE

Amazing how much mercedes comes into walmart and buys a nexen n5000 lol kinda sad to see the conditon peoples cars are in when they come in worst was a 2017 nissan altima the interior was trashed with cigarettes, garbage and dog hair the carpets were tore up and down to the metal underneath and the steering wheel covered in god knows what and the poor thing only had 6300 miles

RocketMouse

Thanks everyone for not flaming me on it... like I said, it had be a few years since I had it.... but the experience was so unbelievably CRAPPY, that it just kinda stains your soul. lol.

They looked nice.. and the pattern seemed decent... but that compound was what made me rather walk to the bus stop. Granted my Yota had the 3.4l V6, which has plenty of power, but even taking it as easy as an old lady on her way to to the church house... that even on dry pavement you could easily break it loose and chirp the tires. Then forget rain, snow, dirt, sand, etc. They were hopeless.
So saying the Wranglers are a big step up from those, that should pretty much say it all to those on here.

RocketMouse

Wow.... just total abuse. No real words for it... just SAD.

Bugout4x4

When you pretty much give someone EVERYTHING and they don't have to work to earn it this is how much they appreciate having something nice. They don't...

RocketMouse

yep... it's pathetic that this is the kind mentality of a lot of people in the world we live in today.
