Tread Depot and Goodyear response to My Mudrunner situation
#1
As I had mentioned in the other post the 25" Mudrunners did not measure up to my expectations and to the specs quoted on the Goodyear web site. As mentioned before, Tread Depot has handled my situation with incredible understanding and care. Tread Depot will be taking my tires back so I can get different ones. Tread Depot felt the situation was serious enough to call Goodyear and ask some questions. A high up Goodyear rep came out and examined the situation on tires that were at the Tread Depot shop. The tires they used to measure at the shop and my 4 tires will be shipped to Engineering at Goodyear to make sure that production on those dates had no problems, and to possibly find out why these tires are not measuring up. I appreciate that Goodyear has handled this carefully and appropriately thus far. I am going to request that they pay my dismount and shipping charges to get these tires back to their Engineering department. At a time these days where it seems appropriate service is hard to find, Tread Depot really shines through. I would highly recommend doing business with them for atv and even car tires. They are at www.treadepot.com
I am most likely going to have them send me the 27" Mudrunners. I understand that with tires, whether car or atv, they will not measure up exactly as advertised, however, I expect the specs to be relatively close.
As a side note, now that I've driven the tires for a total of about 15 minutes, they measure a bit taller probably since the bead seated more fully. They are now about 24.4" off the quad. This is much higher than a few days ago. Still, The rear is .9" shorter than advertised and the front is .6" shorter. To me the rear is out of the acceptable range.
Thanks and I hope this helps someone. I will keep you guys posted on this issue.

Jeffoxer,
Were you not happy with the size of the tires, or the tread depth? Were they a lot smaller than your stock 25" tires? I am also looking into getting Mudrunners from treadepot but I want them on Douglas aluminum wheels and the rep said they dont have the proper bolt pattern available yet. I'm not sure if I want 26" or 27", I am keeping the stockers for trail riding.

See the other lengthy topic listed a few topics down for the answers to your questions. The tread depth is perfect. These tires should be incredible on terrain. They are tearing up my backyard bigtime, and as you know they were rated the #1 mud tire in the 25" size on the other web site.
