If this is on your truck, doesn’t this seem like a bad idea? I wouldn’t drive my truck on the freeway at all last week because my spare was smaller than the tire on the other side of the axel. 1 side spinning faster than the other seems really bad for LSD clutch pack in the differential. Although not an expert, just trying to use common sense, I could be wrong.

They turn different speeds all the time unless you are driving exactly straight. I'm more worried about same size because my spider gears are welded. If the rear tires are different sizes it pulls to one side pretty bad

Cooper Discoverer AT3.
I wouldn't put Goodyear's on a wheelbarrow.

Goodyear owns Cooper now, so I guess you need to find a different brand of tire.

2 tires failed under 25k miles. 1 with crack in sidewall. 1 with steel belt broken. The brand is Corsa and I liked the tires, but they didn’t make it to the 40,000 mile warranty.

I run Goodyear Duratrac on my Chevy 2500HD as well as my Xterra. Very happy with them so far. Good crossover between an A/T and mud tire.

Guess again. Continental owns them both. Until they ruin Cooper I won’t.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Great tire had on 3 vehicles.

On my old truck Michelin, but they were terrible except dry pavement. F150 Goodyear wrangler, 90,000 from first set

Not trying to single you out in particular.....because there are several in this thread, but......

Saying "Insert brand here" is a bad tire.......

Its meaningless unless you say what model/type of tire. Michelin (and all the other brands for that matter) make a TON of different tire options. Different treads and compounds for different conditions.

So note to EVERYONE.....if you have a good or bad experience with a particular tire.....dont just mention a brand. Actually tell us what tire you were running.

Just my opinion but I think it’s true and a buddy who worked as an engineer at GM backed it up. Any particular product installed on a vehicle new may not be the same one you buy latter to replace it. In some cases the product installed on the vehicle might be better, but not usually. In this case tires, I had a set of Goodyear Wrangler tires on my 2017 F150 and a set of Goodyear RSA tires on my Dodge Challenger. Both total junk in my opinion. The tires on my Challenger were total crap in the rain. Now I think Goodyear makes some good tires, it just seems that don’t always end up on vehicles from the factory.

My currant RAM 1500 is on the factory Falken Wildpeak A/T LT275/65R18's they have been a decent summer tire for the truck has about 25,000 on it (bought used with 20,000). My previous RAM had the Goodyear SRA's in some wide 20" they were absolutely worthless on anything but dry pavement, got rid of the 20's dropped down to 17"s and ran 245/70R17's Hankook AT's in the summer and studded snows in the winter.
All my vehicles get studded snows in the winter the best that I have found have been the Nokian Hakkapelitta's, I also got decent service from the Cooper studded snows for a lot of years.

My 2021 truck came with Bridgestone Dueler tires. Have 7000 miles on them. pretty good, don't you think?

The Bridgestone Duelers that came on my Tundra are approaching being worn out after only 15k miles. We're hard on tires here but not that hard. I'm going to replace them with something better before winter.
