The Wrangler Fortitude HT is Goodyear's premium Highway All-Season tire developed for pickup truck, crossover and sport utility vehicle drivers with long to-do and want-to-do lists. Wrangler Fortitude HT tires are designed to blend ride comfort and long wear with all-season traction in dry, wet and wintry driving conditions, even in light snow.
Wrangler Fortitude HT tires feature Goodyear's innovative lower rolling resistance tread compound to enhance vehicle fuel efficiency. The compound is molded into a symmetric tread design that features aggressive looking wrap-around shoulder blocks and independent intermediate blocks flanking a continuous center rib to combine a rugged appearance, long-lasting treadwear and a quiet ride. Wide circumferential grooves and full-depth sipes promote wet road and wintertime traction for year-round versatility.
The tire's internal structure includes twin, high-tensile steel belts on top of a polyester cord casing.

I drive city/highway but dry and wet traction is excellent and traction in light snow is good...
I replaced Wrangler SRAs with Fortitudes. Surprised to see others write negative reviews as these have been fantastic tires. I currently have 57,544 miles on them and it appears they will go another 15,000 to 20,000 miles. Treadwear has been very even. I rotate around every other oil change. I drive city/highway but dry and wet traction is excellent and traction in light snow is good. I give them two thumbs up.

...It tracks so well in the wet and untreated snow & ice roads.
Insanely reliable tire. Incredibly quiet, refined, and very great in snow and on untreated winter roads. Superb on the highway. Super smooth and efficient on fuel. Feels like riding on clouds regardless on which driving surface. It tracks so well in the wet and untreated snow & ice roads.

...Excellent dry traction...
.Overall, a good 3 season tire. At 29k I have about 1/2 of the original tread left. Rides very quiet on highway. Excellent dry traction. Good wet traction. Not too good in the winter. I would not run these tires in a New England winter.

I've owned a lot of cars and trucks (more than 60) and that means a lot of tires. These Goodyear Fortitudes are hands down the best tires I've ever seen in every category. Only in the deepest snow could I want more but then these are not snow tires . BTW, I did not order 4x4 on my truck. Absolutely I will buy these tires again. Thank you Goodyear and thank you GMC for choosing them for my truck.

...they are comfortable, quiet, and offer excellent traction in all conditions that I have encountered ( snow, rain, etc, haven't done any off roading so can't say there)...
oem tire on my '15 ford f150 , I was deeply sorry to see that ford put goodyear tires on the f 150s, I expected to replace them with michelins @ several thousand miles and give them to someone that I don't like... Shockingly, these have been great tires so far, they are comfortable, quiet, and offer excellent traction in all conditions that I have encountered ( snow, rain, etc, haven't done any off roading so can't say there) I just turned 10,000 miles and so far tread wear is excelllent, and tire performance is the same as new.
I am very curious to see how these tires continue to perform with more miles and will update this review(if I can remember). So far these have been excellent, though.

I'm a female so confort and confidence is a must. Super quiet. Superb traction on untreated and treated roads. Great fuel efficiency. Great handling and steering feedback. Excellent in high speed turns. Great in wet and snow. Very long tread life. Just offers a lot of confidence and connects with the driver in a way that makes you feel you can tackle any and all weather conditions without any doubt. I drive a lot for work and almost always need to travel through unevenly pavement ans gravel roads. No issues at all. These Fortitude HT tires are incredibly reliable and tough. Keep in my I am a spirited driver and have a heavy foot for the accelerator. This goes to say if you are a average driver, you will be very much safe and fine in trusting these tires. I highly reccomend!

...Comfortable riding tire, absorbs bumps, expansion joints, and uneven pavementvery well. Very quiet even at freeway speeds...
These are the OEM tires on my base model GMC Canyon, and the first set of Goodyear tires I have had on any vehicle. So far I am satisfied with the tires after 1,000 miles, and would recommend them to drivers who want a quiet, comfortable riding tire with the ability to confidently tackle the occasional dirt/gravel road in dry conditions. As others have commented, this is a highway tire with a bit more aggressive tread pattern--I would describe it as the truck version of Goodyear's Assurance model.
What I Like: - Comfortable riding tire, absorbs bumps , expansion joints, and uneven pavement very well. - Very quiet even at freeway speeds. - Excellent fuel economy; while I am a conservative driver, I am consistently beating the EPA estimates by 3-4 mpg city and highway. - Good dry weather traction, and handles dirt and gravel roads better than a traditional highway tire. - Aesthetically pleasing look; the tire looks like it belongs on the truck. Several new truck models today come with awkward looking or unsightly OEM tires.
What I Would Improve: - Substantial body roll during cornering. Part of this issue is the truck itself, and part of it is the larger sidewall of the tire. However, despite the reasonable weight of the truck and large relative width of the tire, they do not inspire confidence in corners. - Mediocre wet weather traction; not as good as other tires I have had in the past, but certainly not the worst either. - Hydroplaning resistance; I suspect much of this stems from the fact that the Canyon is lighter than my prior F150, but regardless, the tire does not inspire a lot of confidence when I see puddles ahead of me.
As I have only had the tires for just over 1,000 miles, there are many variables I cannot comment on, and I will update this post at 25-30 k miles. So far the tires are solid on the highway and on dry dirt/gravel roads, and leave a bit to be desired in wet conditions.

I drove on the OEM set for 96,000 miles and they probably had at least another 10,000 in them to get down to the wear bars when I changed to current set which have 84,000 on them with 7/32 tread still left. When you spend as much time as I do on interstate, you really appreciate the longevity of these tires.

Best Tires I've ever had on a Truck. They don't slide or spin when it's wet, they are quiet, they grip the road extremely well, can handle a load in my truck bed and have lasted 67,500 miles so far and aren't done yet. I will buy this tire again for my truck when these finally wear out.

Winter traction receives mixed scores (0-10), with many customers reporting unacceptable performance in snow and ice. Numerous low ratings (0-5) highlight slippery conditions, loss of traction, and being stuck despite some 9-10 scores.

...The tires were brand new but ice and snow traction was horrible... I used to be a Good Year fan but these tires are junk for anywhere that gets snow.
They came on my truck when I bought it. The tires were brand new but ice and snow traction was horrible. Wet traction is marginal. They also squeal super easy. I am not sure why but I can take a regular corner and it sounds like I am burning rubber, just horrible. I used to be a Good Year fan but these tires are junk for anywhere that gets snow.

...Worse in 1-2" of snow. Poor in more than 1-2" of snow, even in 4WD with an auto-locking rear diff...
Strengths - Very smooth and quiet tire to the end - Long-wearing (still had 5/32" tread at 60k miles) - Wore very evenly across the tread - Never needed to be rebalanced - Very controlled tire (responsive to steering, no squirming even with a half ton of material in the bed or pulling a trailer) - No change in behavior in either cold or hot weather
Weaknesses - Not good on wet surfaces (Rear tires would break loose easily with mildly aggressive acceleration) - Worse in 1-2" of snow - Poor in more than 1-2" of snow, even in 4WD with an auto-locking rear diff
Other thoughts - The tradeoff of having a little thump over bumps, but having no squirm with a full load, was a good one - One of the lighter tires in this size, which contributes to the good fuel economy I've gotten with my truck. It would hit more than 29 mpg on a long, flat highway drive, and still better than 27 mpg on a highway drive across the Pennsylvania mountains. A heavier tire would pull those numbers down a bit. - Fine on gravel and hard dirt roads, but mud was too slick for them
In short, great for half-ton pickup truck duty pulling full loads on dry pavement or gravel roads. But they quickly would lose their composure outside those parameters. In the right, limited environment, these would be great tires. But they're not a great fit for the mid-Atlantic states.

This tire came OEM on my Suburban Z71. I thought it was a decent tire until we had our first frost. This tire has the worst grip on frost and ice of any tire I have ever driven. This tire is unsafe at temperatures below 40 degrees. I have ordered the Kumho Crugen HT51's to replace it and will be throwing away the OEM tires with only 7,000 miles on them. It is a shame that Chevrolet puts such a bad tire as their OEM.
