    I saw someone selling a set of tires and wheels from an '07 Jeep Wrangler and the tread looks mighty familiar! I think they're just putting overgrown Integrities on the new Wrangler!

    The sidewall says Goodyear Wrangler but I couldn't read the letters after it.

    Hmmm :unsure:

    That's a Goodyear Wrangler SR-A.

    The tread pattern on those tires is clearly not the same if you know what to look for. For instance, passenger car tires almost always have solid or near-solid outside shoulders for quietness. Truck tires usually have blocked outside shoulders, and the more off-road oriented they are, the bigger the gaps. The Integrity has very small gaps in the outside shoulder while the Wrangler SR-A, even though it is an on-road tire, has much bigger gaps between the blocks.

    Ah yeah, that might be it. It looks different than the SR-A's on my uncle's WJ. It might be that size/tread pattern anomaly.

    The integrity in that picture looks completely different than the 'Tegs they put on Prii. Ah...that's a wider size so it has the extra rib in the center. *fog clearing*

    That SR-A on the left looks like a Michelin LTX!
