Did Goodyear change the Territory MT ?

[ATLien]

Had a flat a few days ago and had to buy a new tire. By Name, I ordered the same tire as stock, but what showed up is slightly different. However, looking on Tire rack, I no longer see the original tread pattern. Did Goodyear change the territory MT, or both still available? New patter is on the left, old on the right.

The new one does seem to ride smooth and quiet. Though I attribute that more to the fact that I know have 2, new tires on the rear (spare on one side, new tire on the other).

Yes - somewhere between 23 and 24 it changed a bit

New 25s are coming with RTs I heard

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I liked the original patter much better looks wise. The new one does look like it may be quieter on road and maybe pick up less stones.

Tire rack still sells two patterns. One is Ford spec one is GM spec.

The one on the left is not a Ford spec tire, it has “Wrangler” on the sidewall. The Ford tires have “Goodyear” twice on the sidewall. Ford didn’t want the competition’s name on Bronco tires.

Yes, I realized that the ones originally on the Bronco didn't have the "wrangler" text, and that Ford seemed to have their own version from 21-24, but it doesn't appear that the original ford version is available in the original tread pattern anymore.

They are available at Ford dealerships for a very competitive price.

Great to know, thanks! Just had to replace a flat this time, so wasn't buying a full set. Only at about 10K miles, so I hope it'll be quite some time before I need to replace them all.
