Goodyear Duratrac AT's
« on: August 05, 2009, 10:41:41 AM »
Anyone seen these yet? A friend of mine got a set last week and they look killer!  :smokes:  :thumbsup: In pictures I didn't really like them, but in person (He's got 33's) they look pretty damn aggressive for an AT tire. VERY smooth and quiet too. I've been considering the KM2's for new tires for a long time now, but now I'm really liking these... But they don't make them in a 35" for a 15" rim yet... At least I didn't see a size listed. They make metric 315+ sizes, but I'm not scrapping my wheels just to run a different tire. If they come out with a 35" by the time I get new meats, I'm sold on them.

They look nice, and more aggressive than your run-of-the-mill AT, but I still prefer my KM2's.  And they are not noisy at all on the road.

I was also able to see them in person and they are probably the most aggressive at tire I've ever seen. They look really good, and run fairly cheap.

KM2s in 35X12.5R15 are available through Tire Rack.  Just now saw them there.  Here locally everybody is getting them, the old KMs are on the way out.

has the look of a mud tire which is really important to me, i think all terrains are usually pretty ugly compared to muds

The Goodyear Duratrac Tires offers great traction in deep mud...

Gotta call BS on that one. No way this thing is any good at slingin' mud with voids that small.

I don't know how well they do in mud, but in person the voids look much larger. I'll have to try and get a picture of them on my buddy's TJ. They look much more aggressive in person IMO

Not saying it's a bad tire, though I'll never run another GoodYear myself after the MT/r experience. You simply need a large void between lugs to dig and clean in tacky mud. Looks like it will do better than most AT's but that's not always saying much.

The voids are very very large, of course not as much as an mt, but seeing them in person, they are surprising;y aggressive looking.

They look 100x better then the MT/R with Kevlar.  I'd consider them.  The MT/R's aren't MT's either.
