Goodyear  Fortera HL Edition

Remove the Goodyear RT/S that came with the vehicle and it handle much much better. Even with such a heavy vehicle, the old tires would hydroplain all the time. The Fortera stick with the road and have demonstrated that they will be there for me even in the rain. Just finished a 2500 mile road trip through the Sierras, the Mohave and then up the windy Pacific coast highway without a hitch. There ride and handling were so much better than the RT/S that when I first put them on I had to relearn what I could do in the vehicle. Would buy them a gain in a second.

Replaced the OEM Goodyear RTS tires, after considering Michelins, based on positive comments on Tire Rack survey. Having had Goodyears for so long on Jeeps, I was worried about Goodyears ability to make a competitive tire, but I have been pleasantly surprised. The tires are amazing in dry cornering, and based on the few chances so far to try them out in the rain, they appear to be excellent in the rain as well. The RTS tires had become scary in the wet, but everythings back to normal (and better than the RTSs ever were) with the Forteras.

Stock Eagles on the Grand Cherokee were scary in the rain. After reading other comments here, got the Fortera HLs. Wow, what a difference! Totally stable in the rain, good in the snow, so quiet on the highway that my friends asked if I got a new SUV when they rode in it after changing tires. Best buy I ever made and saved about $500 getting them thru Tirerack instead of Goodyear.

This tire was standard on my 2014 Durango Citadel, and the first time I've ever had Goodyear tires. The first 2 years of driving was mostly highway and towing a cargo trailer weighing 7,200 pounds. Towing is particularly hard on tires, especially when going over the Rockies on trips between California and Minnesota. During one of my three round trips, I hit three blizzards while going over mountains, with snow and slush 4 -6 inches deep, while towing that heavy trailer. These tires performed admirably, never losing traction, and maintaining steering control perfectly. Of course, All Wheel Drive helps as well.

They are now about 50% worn, and still have great traction in wet and flooded street conditions. It will be interesting to see how they perform in snow this year, being worn down as they are. Still, 50% wear at over 38,500 miles isn't bad in my book.

90,000 ON GOODYEAR RT/S TIRES,REPLACED WITH THE FORTERA HL. 5 INCH OF SNOW THE SAME DAY, TIRES WORKED GREAT IN THE SNOW,BREAKING ON WET,SLUSHY ROAD VERY GOOD. ON DRY ROAD YOU CAN FEEL A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE CORNERING STABILITY, MUCH LESS BODY ROLL. THE TIRES ARE A LITTLE STIFF OVER THE BUMPS VERY CLOSE BUT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THAN THE RT/S TIRES WERE. IF THEY WARE WELL ID BUY THESE TIRES AGAIN. GOODYEAR GAVE A GOOD REBATE ALSO.

What can I say... these are a tremendous improvement over the OEM Eagle LS tires. The biggest noticeable difference is the handling. The Fortera keeps the Jeep upright even during the sharpest turn. The Eagles have rounded edges which make the Jeep lean too much for my comfort zone. I had to make an evasive manuever at 60 mph with the Fortera and the truck steered precisely and stayed upright with minimal body lean. I have made sharp turns with the Eagle LS and the truck gets swishy. I really think the Forteras saved me from an accident. The Fortera has grippier traction in wet or dry conditions compared to the Eagle LS. The Fortera is extremely quiet. Just as quiet, if not quieter, than the Eagle LS. Snow is no problem for these tires. I drove the Jeep in 6"-8" of snow with no problem as long as I took it slow. I also feel that my stopping distance has been shortened due to the grippy tires but thats my opinion. If you are looking for a replacement for the LS then I dont think you will be disappointed with the Fortera.

I replaced OEM Goodyear RT/S with these tires. Definite improvement in ride, handling, wet and dry traction. Wearing very well. The only disappointment is a decreased of about 1 mpg probably due to increased rolling resistance. This was identified by Consumer Reports when they tested this tire. Overall excellent tire.

Brand new purchase for what is mostly a Sunday driver...So far just driven in dry weather. So much better than the tires we replaced-quiet, smooth,confidence inspiring. The old tires were Bf Goodrich with 20% treadwear left. One had a flatspot that made noise.On a recent trip around Florida with the old tires,i actually feared a rain-storm or a sudden lane change.

These new Goodyears are all that I had hoped they would be and more!

I have driven nearly 61,000 miles on these tires. Yes I said sixty one thousand miles. I probably had another 4 or 5 thousand miles left of the tread but they were slightly unbalanced and instead of paying for balancing, i decided to do the unavoidable and replace all 4 tires. I of course purchased the same tires for my jeep commander. I can not say enough about this tire. The comfort, the quiet ride, the handling on the highway and the low noise and of course tread wear sold me on this tire. I am not sure what other sizes are available for this tire, but if you need and all weather tire which handles well, is quite, and you get the most for your money on on the tread, buy this tire. Search no further. I know I sound like an infomercial but this is how I feel about this tire. You can not go wrong. This is 61,000 miles worth of driving experience on these tires.

Replace orginal Durango Tires with Good Year Fortera. Rides like a car...smooth and easier to handle the truck. Great on Highway or rainy conditions. Highly recommend.

These tires have preformed much better than the stock michelins that came on my bravada. They seem to offer much more stability in corners, and have reduced body roll significantly. The tread wear seems as good if not better than the stock tires. There is some audible tire noise but it is easy to ignore.

These tires came brand new on my pre-owned 2014 Grand Cherokee and I have to say they're absolutely terrible. They "howl" at highway speeds, cause the steering wheel to shake when they're cold, and don't hold tire pressure well. I've had these tires road force balanced twice and checked for runout, and that's apparently just the way theybehave. They flat spot at night which also is not fun, thus the shaky steering wheel. Traction is fine. Treadwear seems pretty good too, which is unfortunate since I can't wait to get rid of them.

If you're stuck with these, just live with them until they bald since they aren't really dangerous but more of a nuisance. But if you're searching for a new set of tires, stay the heck away from these!
