Goodyear Duratrac opinions wanted

I agree

 

Duratracs (currently running a set of them in 265/70/17) are a great all around tire. I've yet to find a complaint with these tires. I'll be replacing them within this month because the tread is getting low given that they now have about 50k miles on them. I would strongly recommend these to anyone. I hold these tires along the same lines of the BFG AT TA KO tire which many know to be one of the best all around tires on the market.

 

Comparison.

 

I've had mine for around 6 months and love them, I don't think they are noisy at all, maybe i'm a little deaf, but I didn't really notice any difference from my stock tires. I also picked them up locally from one of my dealerships vendors and they misquoted me at $156 each, so I'll never complain about them.

 

They do produce a slight hum but that's to be expected but nothing compared to a subtle growl from MT's.

 

They have been good to me for going on a year and 14k miles. They threw quite a bit of rocks at first but that's slowed down a lot. With those sidewall paddles I just assume that the vehicle is amphibious now.

 

I've had mine for about a year, and put a bit over 10,000 miles on them.

1. I'm amazed at the LACK of noise. Just from the look of them, I was expecting a noticeable hum/roar going down the road. MUCH quieter than I expected.
2. Offroad traction has been excellent for me. I driven them through some rather sloppy mud, and didn't even have to engage the front axle - with old worn out generic "all terrain" tires (on the truck when I bought it) in the same mud, I HAD to go into 4x4. I was also recently at the beach, and helped to pull out a non-4x4 crossover - he was bottomed out, but I didn't even spin. Mud and sand traction is excellent, all that I need.
3. MPG - I seem to have lost maybe 1mpg with these. I figure they are probably just heavier, and that is the reason.
4. No problems at all in rain or normal everyday driving.

I'd buy them again.
