NEW: Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT Tires

[USMCAg]

The best all purpose tires are BF Goodrich All Terrain KOs. I had them on a piece of junk '00 4x4 on a day when heavy storms and a tornado hit the Brazos Valley. I had to cross a creek running 2 1/2' over the 2 lane road to get home and got through it while other trucks didn't. They'll dig ruts on your land, but they won't leave you immobile.

I'm on my 3rd pair of the original Duratracs (315/70/17) on my 2008 JKU, I rotate at least every 10K miles and they wear great. I got 65K miles out of my last set and could have gotten another 10K out of them if I wanted to take them down to the legal limits. I get 150 to 200" of snow at my place every year and tires are awesome in the snow. I think the key is to regularly rotate them and they will perform great.

I've had my OEM Goodyear Territory M/Ts now for 27k miles and love 'em. I have a good mix of highway and off-road miles and I've had zero concerns. Definitely gonna replace with the OEM Territory's in the future.

Same here. 25K miles of city, highway, off road, rocks, rain and snow, best tires I have ever had. Especially impressive in rain and snow.
Adding to this that they are the lightest tire in the category, there is no way I am running anything else.

Good catch! Yes, looks like the non-RT version. I wonder what the differences are?

I got a set of 285/75R17 a few weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to scribble anything up yet, but I like them so far.

Lots of people are mixing them up with the original Duratracs.

This.

First set I had was on my '13 JK and they went over 60K, rotated every 10K. They dig in snow so well that many times it wasn't necessary to engage the front axle.

curious if this addresses the wear issues goodyear truck tires have, I don't think I've ever removed a set of goodyear tires off a vehicle that didn't have some kind of cupping or uneven wear.

Looks really nice, love the black wheels. Did you have to buy a brake light extension or did it fit ok?

I'm on the OBX 18's and am toying with 285/70R18.

Thanks, wheels are factory steel. Spare fits fine without an extension.

The AT3 is being phased out for the AT4 soon, fyi.

Your Bronco looks great. What’s the weight per tire on those 285’s?

My god the tire weighs over 75lbs for load range c
No wonder it’s 60,000 mile warranty it’s got 23 POUNDS MORE TREAD than a stick tire!!!!

Yeah, the weights are crazy, but for me it looks like they are going to make a 34 inch option that isn't E load rated. Only option currently is the Toyos and I'm not a fan, so a new option that is this tire and hopefully at least performs as well as the AT3 in snow, etc is a HUGE win IMO.

Could the weight also be due to the 3 ply sidewall on the lt sizes? Second look... It doesn't say that all lt sizes have the 3 ply sidewall, so who knows.

Stupid heavy for an LRC 35" tire. Not that I like BFG KO2's, but 37x12.50x17 in LRC is only 65 pounds.

I had the last generation on my Hummer H3 (315/75R16). They were quite and did well in the snow.
