Those are the regular GY Wranglers. They are not all that great of a tire. Sorry no offense. If the Fortera logo isn't on them, I wouldn't direct anyone to them, nor myself. There are Wrangler Forteras out there, but the regular Wrangler RT/S or AT/S is not one I would use. They don't come with a mileage warranty either.
The Fortera's have between a 50,000- 70,000 mile warranty depending on which series Fortera you buy.

I had 75,000 on my stock original General Ameritrac's when I removed them from the truck. They still got at least another 10,000 miles left in them.

we drive all interstate pulling a 7klb trailer so that kindof shows how much work these tires are put through..
I don't know if too many people here are Firestone fans. I'm sure not. The Bridgestone's are made by Firestone.
I'll just stick with the tried and true! Michelin & Goodyear have shown to be a great tire throughout their lifetime of being in business.

Generals do last long for what they cost, but they have shown to have quite a few separations (steel belts rusting internally and breaking) from what I've seen.
Not one of the best tires, but it's not the worse either.

That are not the regular Wranglers they are the "Fortera Silent Armors", same Fortera Technology but with a more aggressive tread pattern. The down side is they are heavy tires (51 lbs) and expensive but Very Strong. Best tires I ever had.

Oh.....they came on your truck as O.E. style tires??? I haven't seen this as of yet. That is a really expensive tire to come as O.E.
Yes they do make them as street radials, A/T's, and M/T's.

Whoa there guy! Your gettin a little a head of yourself. Keep the "WTF" statements to yourself. And.....who is talking ****?????? I never said anything bad about the Wrangler Silent Armors. If "YOU" read the thread, I recommended the GY Wrangler Silent Armors as an option of a good tire!!!!
I just misunderstood your previous statement in the beginning. I thought you said that your truck came with them as O.E. The regular Wrangler ST's, RT/S's, & AT/S's are the ones that I do not recommend!
Enough said about that.
Now lets talk about that Supershits tune you have!!!!
NOW.....I'm talking SH*T!!
