Looking at the siping on that MT I wonder how it is in the snow. It has siping that I usually only see on All-Terrain and All-Weather tires.

I did not know Goodyear was making special Wranglers for Ford Broncos that didn't say "Wrangler" on them. That's funny, and a little petty. If the Bronco is as good as they want people to think it is, it shouldn't matter what's written on the tires... That may just be me though.

It is petty and funny at the same time. Just proves how much pull Ford has. Guess they told Goodyear if you want to be the OEM supplier, you'll nix the Wrangler name.

And for a maximum traction tire the tread isn't that much more aggressive than some AT tires. May end up being reasonably quiet. Thinking I'm going to start watching the Bronco classifieds for people with the Sasquatch package upgrading to 37s or bigger.

On my TJ, I ran two sets of Goodyear MT-R/Kevlars. They were relatively light compared to others.

Do we really believe the weight is only 52 lb? The Goodyear website does not list the weight. I’d be shocked if this is an accurate weight from tire rack.
The stock wheel and tire combo on the Sasquatch weighs 81.6lbs. So it's very believable. That puts the weight of the wheel at 29.6lbs for a beadlock capable wheel.

Can these go on a stock Willys wheel? Rubbing issues?
Technically no- I have not seen a manufacturer that will recommend tires wider than 285mm for 7.5" (all stock JL/JT wheels). People do it all the time, though. The tire WILL have more crown and wander more than it would on a wider wheel. Have considered the Kenda Klever 35x10.50s?

Tire snobery goes both ways. HD chose Dunlop and voila! Harley-Davidson embossed sidewals on an otherwise normal Elite tires. Jeez-you would not believe the number of HD riders who believed HD made the tires, not Dunlop. And would be belligerant about ordering/fitment as well. Shrug.

I have. I was concerned about weight and turning it into a dog considering I have the 3.73's vs the 4.10's. May just end up with the 33x10.5 Klevers.
