I've never owned MTR's but have had Goodyear RT's and RS's. Both are
horrible tires. Way to soft of sidewalls and thus handle poorly. The
Michelin LTX's were available in load D and E ranges. I've always
gotten 75K or more on a pair but I change tires before they're bald.
The other problem I had with the Goodyears was flat tires when driving
on dirt roads. They didn't handle the sharp rocks very well.
I do not know if the MTR's are a better tire than what I used but with
bad experiences with other Goodyears I've never wanted to try.
