Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT 

The Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT is an excellent O.E tire for the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD ZR2. The MT designation on this tire means maximum traction, not mud-terrain. It is more aggressive than an all-terrain tire, but less aggressive than a dedicated mud-terrain tire. Maximum Traction tires produce more road noise than an all-terrain tire, but less than a dedicated mud-terrain tire. The dry traction performance of the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT is excellent and it makes me feel really confident when I am driving down the road. Wet traction performance is also excellent, it makes for a good partner in rain, and I don't have to worry about not being able to stop. Light snow performance is great, the Wrangler Territory MT gets great traction, and I don't have any traction issues when accelerating or braking. I can drive in light snow even in 2WD. Deep snow traction is good, the tread blocks do a great job with collecting snow, and giving me that snow on snow traction, the tread blocks also do a good job keeping themselves clean so that traction is always available. I have not had a chance to test the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT off-road, but I imagine they would do just as good on-road as they do off-road. I love the Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT, and I will be getting them again.

So I decided to switch from my previous KO2's to this Territory MT tire and stayed with the same 315/70/R17 size mainly because of the weight. These tires are about 10 lbs lighter per tire as compared to the Class C load KO2's. A few items of note off the bat. These tires while the same size are not as wide and not as tall as the same size KO2. Makes my speedo off by 1 mph at 75 mph so not a huge difference.

Compared directly to the KO2's dry traction is identical. Wet traction this tire is actually slightly better than the KO2. Specifically when launching from a stop, these do not spin as easily as the KO2's. For winter (which really for me is the most important rating), these tires seem to have better bite than the KO2's in a straight line. However, when cornering the KO2's are actually slightly better I would say. Ride wise I would say these ride a little softer then the KO2's. From a noise perspective, I would say that the Territory MT's are slightly quieter than the KO2's when both were new. We'll see how they do as the miles add up as my old KO2's definitely got louder over time.

Bottom line is these are very comparable to KO2's in the metrics that I have driven them in. There are slight differences as noted above, but a good all around tire. Unfortunately I don't have any good experience with mud or rock specifically with these tires or the KO2's so I won't comment on those areas specifically.

I’ve always bought high quality tires like Mickey Thompson and BFG so my level of scrutiny is high and thoroughly research the best tires for my needs. Due to the price of almost HALF of the ones I generally buy I thought these were worth the possible risk. I’ve already done snow, rain, ice and mud in the first 1500 miles. I am very happy with them and have not experienced the road noise complaints of others at all. I can buy two sets of these for the price of the others and that’s an absolute steal. I will absolutely buy these again

Replaced a set of BFG ko2 with these. Better snow traction. Just as quiet. Seem to be wearing very well. Have 315/70/17 on lifted jeep. Great look and do better with hydroplaning. BFG were getting noisy after 30 k miles. Will uodate later when put more miles. So far so good.

Lightweight Hybrid Tire

Saw these tires on the new Bronco and was intrigued. Running the 285/70/17s on my 2010 GX460. Pervious tires were BFG KO2s. These seemed like a more aggressive alternative to the normal AT choices. More of a Ridge Grappler or Open Country R/T competitor than KO2 or AT3W.
I was intrigued by 2 key specs of this tire:
Weight - These tires are very lightweight given their intended purpose 45lbs � compare to the BFG KO2s (51lbs) or the Falken AT3Ws (63lbs)
Tread Width - 8.3� - compared to the BFG KO2s (9.4�) and the Falken AT3Ws (9.6�)
Below are my thoughts on these tires as compared to my previous BFG KO2s
Advantages
1. Noticeably better acceleration and braking (due to the lighter weight)
2. Better ride � softer feeling. Running at the same street pressure 35psi, these tires feel softer than the KO2s absorbing bumps better.
3. Mud � These are not true mud tires, but they handle light mud better than the KO2s and I suspect better than AT tires in general.
Drawbacks
1. Noise � They are quiet around town but at highway speeds they sing. The noise is higher pitched than the typical mud tire howl, and it can be distracting. I never noticed the KO2s through the quiet cab of my Lexus, but these tires draw attention to themselves. � If I commuted long distances at highway speeds, this would be a deal breaker for me.
2. Durability? � This is pure speculation here as I have not had any issues, but I suspect that the benefits of the lightweight construction of this tire result in a tire that is less resistant to punctures as compared to some of the more heavily constructed competitors. Those soft sidewalls that soak up potholes and expansion joint jitters so well on-road are most likely a liability off-road.

The ride and comfort is very good, the wear and tear is unacceptable. Under rain and icy conditions they loose traction easily. They perform well under rough terrain such as mud, sand, gravel and rocky roads. Noise level at slower speeds can be a bit loud. Overall, it's a good performing tire.

In its price class, this tire absolutely dominates. I've seen so many negative reviews comparing the Territory MT to tires that cost $100 more each. I've used many of those tires myself and I don't see a reason to spend the extra money. The Territory is up there with the very best in dry, wet, snow, and off-road traction, it's in the quieter half of the spectrum of off-road AT's, and treadwear is at least average if not slightly above for the class. Unless you are some kind of tire snob who competes in the yearly "Tire Nationals" and need the absolute best at any cost, just get the Territory MT and save yourself like $400 on a new set of tires. I personally will be using this tire on both my off-road vehicles until something comes along with a comparable price and performance.
