Default Opinions of Goodyear DuraTrac's

I am ready for new tires on my XJ. I currently have 31x10.5 BFG A/T's. I added more lift, and I am stepping up to 33's. I was going to stick with the BTG A/T's, but these Goodyear DuraTrac's have caught my eye. They look nice. Maybe a hair more aggresive than the BFG's. Has anyone ran them? What did you think? How do they compare to the BFG A/T's? I am apprehensive to switch tires. My XJ is a DD and trail rig. I got 70,000+ miles out of my BFG's and they worked great for what I needed them for.

Thumbs up

BUY THEM BUY THEM NOW.
I have some 31" DuraTrac's on my rig right now, and they rock. Quiet on the higway, but perform great offroad. I can't comment on the tread life, I've only had mine for like 1k, but they have a 50k warranty. Plus they just look way more aggresive than the BFG's, and they are. I have driven on both and recommend the DuraTrac hands down. Check it out.

They really do ride at least as quiet as the BFG's, and when I upgraded from the old 28's I had to these, My gas mileage stayed the same! Check out discounttiredirect.com, they are super cheap there

They don't have the Duratrac's in a 33 on a 15... you can get a 35 on a 16 315/75r16

They do make a 33" on a 15 just that website is out i will be getting my set of these tires in the next few weeks here and i got quoted at 166 a tire...not bad for a 33. Plus this tire is just badass looking and it has the mountain snowflake sysbol so it will do work in the snow.

Tirerack has them for $146/ea for a 33x12.50. You do have to pay shipping though.... I was going to check soon with my local tire store and see what they wanted for them.

They are replacing the Goodyear Workhorse radials. My boss has used them on his work trucks for 10 years or more and has had few problems... My work truck is about to get new tires and I plan to ask for the Duratracs. I work in the desert, and drive a Dodge 3500 quadcab utility bed duallie 4x4. Rolling on the original tires, have only made it 15,000 miles. We'll see if the Duratracs can make good on that 50k warranty... Should be gettign the new tires next month sometime.
