Goodyear Wrangler DURATRAC's

Had the new truck out on the dirt today. Some minor flexing and purdy backdrop. Duratrac's dig so well in everything I was on today! Powder, sand, gravel, and hardpack.

I have 35k on mine with at least 1/2 tread left. they should last me another 3-4 winters easily now that I have spring/summer/fall tires and swap them out.

 

How is the road noise? Both in town and on the highway?

 

loud IMO. My KM2's seem to be quieter and I have no clue how that could be possible.

 

Loud when you go 145 km/h but not to bad in most driving. Just turn he music up

 

At 70 mph all I can make out is a faint whine over stock BFG's. In town I hear no difference. The magnaflow (#16625) may have something to do with how much of the tire noise I can hear. If they're properly inflated for road cruising they are quiet, but when aired down I can see how some people would say they are loud. I have 10 ply E rated duratracs aired to 40 pounds front and 36.5 rear. If you use chalk on the outer edges of your tread you can find a good inflation point.

By the way if any of you are considering the magnaflow part # 16625, know that there is considerable cabin drone, but it really does sound good!

i have had my duratracs for 2 years now... i still have tons of treads life... I guess it depends on how you drive it... I hope I can ride those bad boys for another 2 yrs.... I would like to go with the nittro trail grappler but they dont make 265 70 16... I have looked at so many AT tires... I think duratrac makes the best looking ones....

 

im getting my duratracs flipped, so the white lettering is on the inside, ! ha

 

getting them put on tomorrow i hope they are worth the money and last, !!!!

 

they are worth it... now im working on the last part... 2 years in on mine

 

They seem a bit soft to me.

I will be getting some DD tires and save these for camping/off road and winter.

 

I've got 45k on them and still half tread left. They will last. Just rotate often.

 

like how often every 3000 thats when i do oil change

 

Heres mine at 47,000 miles. Getting kind of thin but still truckin'.

 

I'm a throttle stabber so things don't last long for me.



On a good note it rained like hippos and elephants yesterday.

Rivers on the freeway.

They did not even phase these tires at 60 MPH.

Enough water to make 30' splashes to the sides.

 

Just got mine on. Ill be testing them in the Sierras (Slick Rock) this weekend. I love the look and they ride great!

 

Hi all from Down Under,

First post but a long time reader. Have been eyeing off the Duratracs for a while now after reading through the countless opinions of others, most from this fabulous website. I dont have a Tacoma but do have the similar Toyota Hilux.

Currently running on BFG M/T KM and can tell you having surpassed 50,000km the road noise and handling is nothing short of horrible!! In actual fact the road noise kicked in after about 20,000. Cannot keep a conversion in the truck!! I know its a MT but my god its just shocking, hence the need to find an aggressive in-between...and through reading looks like the Goodyears are the way to go.

Truck as it currently stands:

 

Welcome! You'll love the Duratracs. Sweet Hilux. What lift do you have? and what engine is in that?

 

Thanks HB Taco!!

Has a 2" body lift & a marginal OME suspension lift. V6 petrol powered but would love to fit in a V8

Yes cant wait for the duratracs, i actually have just finished with the tire shop and will be fitting them in on Friday !!!
