Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT Tires Review - 📺

[NorthShoreBronco]

Had the opportunity to test out the new Duratrac RT's on my 4 door Bronco. I'm pretty happy with the changes they've made.

Love the new sidewall pattern and the 3 ply sidewall.

Made a quick 5 minute review on them.

One thing I didn't get to cover in my review is long term wear obviously, as I just got them. Anyone have these and put some miles on them?

Well, those are clearly marked Territory R/Ts on the new 2025 models, not Duratrac R/Ts so there is probably some difference I'd imagine weight? Maybe they won't have as thick a sidewall? I guess we'll see.

Duratrac and Territory are 2 completely different models. I was comparing the new Duratrac RT to the old model.

I had a set of Duratracs on my old Jeep and they sounded like mudders once they dropped below 50% wear. My wife absolutely despised them. I was happy with the performance of the tires besides the noise. Hopefully, they improved that.

That area sure looks like an awesome place to drive a Bronco!

Nice video, but the obstacles shown didn't strike me as especially forbidding.

Extremely limited size selection for 17 in rims, and only SL loads which usually implies a 2 ply sidewall. Can't see any explicit information on the GY website about the sidewalls

I experienced the same when I had my JK

You have to go to the RT-LT for the 10 ply like I have . https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/tires/wrangler-duratrac-rt-lt/24914.html

Thanks... Our 4 door is my wife's Bronco... And I'm "forbidden" to "off road it" lol. So I had to keep it light.

Not a fan of the less aggressive tread pattern. Agree with others that the Duratracs (previous) get extremely noisy over time.

Yes, I'm also anxious to find out. I'll probably do a long term review video next year. I've seen some interviews with GoodYear reps that said they tweaked the lug spacing to help with even wear.

Granted this is apples to oranges but I just went through this with my f250 tremor diesel even though I hated the stock duratracs that came on the truck the new duratrac rt’s caught my attention after talking to several tire and wheel places ALL of them recommended I go with the falken at4w’s (falken at4w was the other tire I was considering)

Nice. Yea the Falken AT4W is a nice looking tire too. It will be an interesting year with all the new AT tires out this year to see the long term wear of them all.
