Hey Guys,
Not alot of good info on this tire out there that came on my Lariat Powerboost wih 18's, so here we go.

For reference, I came from a 2015 with some Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires on it (P275 65r18 as well).

The stock Goodyears have been getting some hate because they are not true A/T tires, but so far they've worked better than expected for me.

After 4K miles I've noticed:
- Very Quiet
- No noticeable tread wear after 4K miles
- Smooth ride from soft construction
- Ok dry traction (my Michelins on last truck may have been slightly better)
- Better Wet traction than the Michelins - there is a lot of siping on these tires
- Very surprising stability in the twisties for such a soft tire - much better than I expected. Probably due to the continuous center rib

After looking at some specs, they are essentially a Goodyear Trailrunner A/T with more siping, and a continuous center rib + narrower tread for better fuel economy/quietness (probably what ford asked of Goodyear).

Here are the specs for both

Territory A/T : https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+Territory+AT&sidewall=Outlined White Letters&partnum=765TR8WTATOWL&tab=Specs

Trailrunner A/T: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+TrailRunner+AT&sidewall=Outlined White Letters&partnum=765TR8WTRATOWL&tab=Specs

They have the same Tread rating, Temperature rating, Max PSI, and Weight. Also have a very similar looking tread pattern.

I would guess they probably are a slight step down from the Trailrunner in terms of
- Dry grip (narrower tread)
- Off road capability (narrow tread and continuous center rib instead of blocked) - I havent offroaded them yet

But a step up in:
- Fuel efficiency and road noise (narrow tread and continuous center rib instead of blocked)

This weekend will be first snow and I will follow up with impressions.

I have the same P275 65r18 Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT on my 2021 XLT 302A Powerboost. I am very happy with the tires and I think they look good. These tires have a very quiet and a comfortable ride, but also giving me good mpg. My last trip of 32 miles that consisted of about 70% highway at 55-65 mph and the rest at around 25-35 mph gave me a mpg rating of 27.8.

They came on my truck as well. No complaints and excellent mpg. Sized up to 275/70/18 General Grabber ATx in SL rating and they weigh 6lbs more each than the Goodyear’s. Also lost about 1-2 mpg. Don’t regret it but just sharing so others know.

Well, I drove home through a snowstorm last night.

Overall reaction is they are OK. Nothing special for a M/S tire in the snow. I don't feel any more or less confident than I was with my Michelin Defender M+S tires on my last truck.

There was a time where I was headed up about a 6% incline in about 1-2 inches of snow about 20mph in 2wd and I gave it a tiny bit more gas to accelerate in normal mode and completely lost traction. 4 auto solved that problem and I got over the passes with no real trouble.

Not a super experienced winter driver, but if I had to do what I did last night more frequently, I would want Blizzaks or atleast something with the 3 peak rating.

These came stock on my FX4 502A. I liked them on highway a lot but replaced them after they locked up descending a dirt road with a few inches of fresh snow on a fairly mild grade, and I ended up in the ditch. Got a tug from a Silverado while I was chaining up to try and get out (I carry chains and a tow strap during winter).

I replaced with Wrangler Duratracs which are 3 peak rated and have never had any real slipping, and was pretty happy with winter performance here in Colorado (which tends to be more snow and not much ice). I hate them during the 8 to 9 months of the year without snow though and actually wish I had held onto the stock tires for summer (I sold them when I bought the Duratracs as an all around tire). I think they would probably be a fine 3 season tire with dedicated snow tires for winter.

Any idea on tow rating? I have these tires on my PB and wondering if they are good for towing a travel trailer?

You should be good for 5000 pounds minimum. Much more if your truck is configured with the Tow or Max Tow Package. The tires is only one piece of the equation.

Tires do not limit load. If you do the math on GVWR and the combined load rating of the tires on each axle.

LT tires in general are more stable and probably wear better when towing though.

Look at the tow rating of your vehicle. Powerboosts its anywhere from 7k to 12kish (if you have trailer brake controller).

Thanks for the advice, currently pondering this situation for my first Canadian winter with the truck

No problem - I actually have picking up a set of Blizzaks on my to do list right now to replace the Duratracs. After 25k miles they are also getting super loud now also…

I’ve got these Goodyears on my truck. I run them from May to October then have a set of BFGoodrich Winter T/A KSIs for November to April.

For a road tire, the Goodyears are just fine. I have no complaints in that regard. I understand the hate from others if they are truly off roading or using them in the snow, I have very little confidence in these tires in that regard.

I wondered if I should have replaced the Goodyears immediately and run an A/T with 3pmsf designation all year, but I’m happy with my decision to get dedicated winters. Can pretty well always just leave the truck in 2H even in nasty winter weather (but nice to have the 4L and 4H as fail safes). I’d recommend dedicated snows if you’re on the fence, especially for our Canadian winters. Seen too many trucks on A/Ts in my area ditched or have to rely on 4H to get anywhere in the snow we get.

I’ve got the trailrunner on my truck. Really thinking about buying some blizzaks because I drive alot in the winter in deep snow. Do you it’s necessary?

Towing a 7000lb airstream with no issues so far. My PB has these tires.
