Do you know if there are any plans to sell these in the 315/70/17 OEM sasquatch size?

I've owned three sets of Duratracs, best tire I've owned to date for use in snow.

I just talked with a Goodyear rep and there are no 315/70R 17 DuraTrac R/T's in the pipeline at this time. Could not pin him down as to when we might see some movement on this size. Looks like we are in "hurry up and wait" mode.

When I spoke with the Goodyear reps at an industry event about a year ago, they said this tire was primarily designed to address the most common complaints with the original Duratrac, primarily noise as they wear... The original Duratrac was a good tire, but it's long in the tooth now and there are better tire designs out there.

I'd love if they could remove "Wrangler" from at least one set of their tires. I believe they did it for the OEM Sasquatch tires as a favor for Ford already but they are not sold like that to the general public.

Looks like this tire is available in the 315/70/R17 Saquatch size:

That's just the original Duratrac and not the updated version, isn't it?

I ran the Duratracs on two of my previous vehicles, and really liked them. Great in the rain and snow too. If they upgraded from that, these new ones would be worth looking at for sure. It's too bad they don't come in the OEM Sasquatch tire size though.

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

I've had the originals and I thought they were awful. They wore terribly and did get super loud. I hope these new ones solved that.

But do they catch and throw rocks like the OEM Sasquatch tires?

 

[ramblinwreck]

I had a set of duratracs on my JKU Wrangler. They were absolutely unbearable at 20k miles. They sounded atrocious. Just a straight garbage tire. I hated them. My BFG KM2s were much more capable and quieter.

 

[Bullitt]

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.

I ran DuraTracs on a previous Jeep and I was happy with them for awhile, but after they wore a bit, they sounded like mudders and hummed so loud that it shook the whole vehicle. I probably didn't rotate them as much as I should have, and the wife was much, much happier when I switched them out for KO2s.

Pretty good tire when brand new... Performance deteriorates faster than most any tire I have experienced.

People looking for a good modern AT should look at the Falken AT3w.
