    Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac - Or Something Else?

    I personally have never owned the DuraTracs - but I have been myself tire brand shopping - I have never been brand loyal but mainly looking at tire tread pattern & tread depth & compund of the tread = Soft/Med/Hard.

    I am always looking for an aggressive A/T with alot of sipping = better for snow & ice & rain soaked highways / interstates.

    I looked hard at the DuraTracs - but after reading more then a handful (alot) of reviews on a iRV2.com forum: I walked away with the impression that these tires are of a much softer compound - which most of us know leads to much faster tire wear but a smoother ride when new.

    Also the tire is noted to have a much softer sidewall - which has said to produce when towing a much mushier (unstable) ride from the tow vehicle (Your Ram) - To some this is a game changer.

    But the tire is also stated (when New) to be a top performer when put to the test in snow/ice/rain - once the tread depth is to the half way or below mark - the tire performance is said to really become quite horrid in all sitiuations.

    Just my thoughts from reading others reviews. My top 2 at this time is the Toyo Open Country A/T3 & Falken Wildpeak A/T3 & Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T.

    In person these tires look really impressive and if I had not read all the reviews - would probably be at the top of my list.

    Note: Everyone Opinions & Reviews will be different from mine & yours - take it all with a grain of salt.

    I went with 35 12.5 20 rugged treks. 10k miles so far, and I like them.

    I used to have Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and I like the coopers better.

    I run the Cooper Discoverer AT3, which has done great on all my trucks, and they also have a 60,000 mileage warranty.

    Nice ride on the highway but have a decent tread for when you might need traction off-road.

    They are my go-to tire.

    I've got the Duratec on mine right now.

    They act well on the interstate.

    They don't make a lot of noise.

    I haven't had them in the dirt other than the slop that forms at the end of my driveway when it rains.

    These are 35x12.50 on a 17-inch wheel.

    These have about 10000 on them so far.
