>>Dave, if your last two vehicles had Goodyear rubber,it's not you, it's
those crummy Wranglers. OK, they handle well enough, but longevity-wise,
they suck, period. I guess Dodge is still spec'ing them on Dakotas? They
were stock on my '89 4x4, I rotated them religiously, and they lasted
like 16-17k. I haven't talked to ANYONE who would recommended them
(other than a Goodyear dealer). I'll never get another set of Wranglers
or any other Goodyear tire for that matter.

Hey Scott,
What kind of driving are you doing to get only 16-17K out of a set of
wranglers? My first set on my 95 SLT went for *42K*. There are others on this
list that have 50K plus on theirs. I don't think the problem is with the
tires.
