Default Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs?

Okay so I'm getting ready to go to a bigger tire soon, most likely 31x10.5. Anyone with first-hand experience with the goodyear wrangler duratracs? I go wheeling about 3-5 times a month and its my DD. Thanks!

Under all this mud are duratracs. I love them, I hate mud but when i need to go through mud to get to the good stuff they always get me through. This time just required some maneuvering.




I'd say theyre a great buy

Sweet! How is the strength of the sidewalls? And how are they wearing?

I've got about 10 k on them and they are still in great shape. Mine are on the rocks every weekend. I also run about 25 psi in them.

Don't waste money on All Terrains.... Buy M/T's, they are just much better just noisier.

Thats why I like duratracs, a good mix of MT/AT characteristics.

I bought a set for my TJ about a month ago. I like them so far, but I don't drive the Jeep every day and I haven't offroaded 'em yet (1st ride coming up in a couple weeks)

I have a set of them and love them. I bought them when they first became available nearly three years ago... I am still running them! I am down to about 30% tread but even with that little bit they still dig and pull me through just about anything. I drive about 250 mile a week and they have never let me down.
